- Works but hogs resources
We have been running McAfee on our home PC for about 3 years now. Up until this latest edition came out we've been fairly pleased with the product. This latest version only allowed the purchase option of three licenses, which I'm sure already added to the overpricing of this software. I only need one license for our home PC. This latest annoyance got me looking around. McAfee does work very well but from what I understand it doesn't trust the Window's firewall and wants to use its own. Regardless if this is true or not, McAfee hogs up a huge amount of resources and slows the computer down tremendously. I thought this was a problem with my PC because, admittedly, it is a few years old but I've found others with new computers that have the same problem. If you're thinking of running McAfee, here's the summary of what to expect:

Pros: protects very well, online database is updated constantly.
Cons: resource hog, over priced compared to other options, slows your computer down, did not allow the purchase of a single license

- Like Driving a Tank, Instead of a Car
Yes, you will be safer in a tank than a car, but will take you forever to get there.

Horrible in terms of slowing down computer. I have been using NO virus software for 5 years without any problems. I decide to protect my two computers (both a year old) with software, and after installing this software, my computer runs at 1/4 the speed. If you want to run more than 1 internet explorer, forget it. Im better off taking my chances getting a virus and moving "stress free" through my searches, than being safe yet moving so slow.

- McAfee -- great protection little annoyance
I have been using McAfee Total Protection on my desktop and a Norton product on my lap top. I'll admit I'm lazy. I want to set it up to do gaurd my computer, do updates seamlessly, and fix a range of "no brainers" w/o me having to do much. I also want it to not pop up and ask me questions every time I run a program.

I feel this program strikes a good balance of Great Protection and running in the background w/o a lot of user actions being required.

- Good product that provides protection but slows your computer down horrifically
Ten years ago when the company I worked for suffered from a Word Macro virus infection the network administrator installed McAfee as the solution and it worked. That was the last virus infection we suffered through. The administrator sold me on McAfee and I used it for years. Lately, and this product reinforces this, I have altered my opinion regarding the quality of the protection it provides.
While it still provides solid protection against the majority of malware buzzing around the Internet and the supporting data files are regularly updated it runs so slow that it can be infuriating. It becomes difficult to perform any work with an open application when any segment of the McAfee package is running.
Since the days I referred to in the first line, I have become much more knowledgeable in the area of malware and computer security. I now have better luck by doing the following:

*) Being very cautious in what I do online
*) Always use the malware protections provided by my online service provider.
*) Using an effective firewall on my computers that runs 24/7
*) Using other virus scanning software (plural) that I run on my time

I came to the conclusion some time ago that the actions listed above are superior to using McAfee products and this one did nothing to change my mind. Once I examined it for review, I immediately uninstalled it.

This product was installed on an XP machine for examination.

- AWFUL- ANNOYING and INVASIVE!
The marketing strategy used for the McAfee software that came with my Dell Laptop was to annoy the user constantly and permanently PUSHING AND PUSHING for you to HAVE TO BUY THEIR SUBSCRIPTION. I got popups, emails everyday saying that Ïts my last chance to get it at discounted prices, and so forth. I HATED SO MUCH THEIR ANNOYING PUSHY MARKETING (I found it UNCOMFORTABLY INVASIVE). Instead of motivating me to buy from them I prefered to get NORTON 360 from Symantec. I gladly payed that subscription- and I was so happy when I read "Before installing Norton 360 you must remove the following program: McAffee !"

It's like a war Tax. Either you pay McCafee or you will be bugged for the rest of your life until you do. Talk about a Virus-Like behavior.!
There are tons of better options than this.

Apple MacBook 2008 Event: All the Rumors In One Place [Apple]

New MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and probably an updated MacBook Air are coming up next week, at the Apple MacBook 2008 event. The MacBook and MacBook Pro are long due for a case redesign but, beyond that, little is known for sure. Here we have collected all the pieces of information we have about them. All the facts, the logical rumors, and the crazy ones, which we will keep updating through the coming days until the MacBook Event liveblog kicks off.

The facts

• There's an Apple event on October 14 and we will be there to liveblog the pants out of it.

• Long overdue, a new MacBook line will be unveiled, with newly-designed MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

• Remember that Apple told resellers not to stock MacBooks or iPods (this was just before the Let's Rock announcement).

The logical and probable rumors

• The MacBook Air, being a recent design, will probably get a features bump, but not a redesign. This could to be supported by price cuts during the summer.

• Despite the pretty mock ups, the MacBook and the MacBook Pro will probably look like the MacBook Air, but on a different scale. In previous generations, there was always a new model that introduced a new look, then the rest followed up.

• Several images of the base top, the base bottom and the display frame of the MacBook Pro have surfaced. It is still not clear if these images are real or not, even while they do look real indeed.

• Some people alleged that these images show a shell carved out of a single piece of aluminum, using a new and revolutionary manufacturing process code-named "Brick".

• However, there are several reasons to believe this may not be the case, starting with an Apple patent detailing a new welding process. However, both manufacturing techniques may have been combined for this product.

• The MacBook in the teaser invitation may be the 13-inch model. Assuming the Apple logo is the same size as before, that is. They have changed its size before.

• Following Apple's commitment for greener computers, all displays in the upcoming MacBook line may be LED-based.

Crazy rumors and wishful thinking

• The usual blurry MacBook spyshots have appeared, some of which, like this one, have been proven to be fake.

• The glass iPhone trackpads are most probably just that, fake.

• Some crazy people really wish to see a touch notebook.

• There's even more crazy people that think that a semi-transparent MacBook Pro may appear, based on an Apple patent.

• Some really really crazy people have been dreaming about tablet Macs since 2007 and before.
