  • McAfee Internet Security 2009

    McAfee Internet Security 2009 does a reasonable job, but it also leaves room for improvement.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

    Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2005

    Although ZoneAlarm's personal security tools are better overall, McAfee Internet Security 2005 offers richer, more configurable tools than Norton.

  • McAfee Internet Security 6.0

    McAfee Internet Security 6.0 is fine, but Norton Internet Security 2004 is a better deal, thanks to superior spam filtering.

  • McAfee Total Protection 2007

    McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.
