Overview

The good:
  • Scans links in IM messages
  • Watch movies or play games uninterrupted
The bad:
  • Same interface as last year
  • Lacks hourly updates
The bottomline:

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product doesn't excel, burdened by a user experience that's basically unchanged from last year.

Editors’ rating:

7/10

RRP: AU$59.95
