I don't use McAfee but someone might find this useful.


Features as listed at Dell -

Complete Anti-virus, Anti-spyware, and Anti-malware
Relentless security software scans and blocks dangerous emails, risky web content, and online threats like viruses, Trojans, spyware, and rootkits.

Real-time Safeguards
Cybercriminals are masters of disguise. If something new looks suspicious, McAfee® Active Protection™ immediately determines its risk to help keep your computer secure.

Two-way Firewall
Extra layers of Internet security software block bad guys from breaking in or seeking out your personal information. This traffic cop patrols nonstop to prevent malicious software from gaining access to your PC.

Safe Searching and Shopping
Color-coded icons next to your search results let you know before you click which sites are safe and which may install malicious code, phish for your identity, or send you spam.

Fast Start-Up and Scan Times
We invest in performance to help you enjoy your digital life to the limit—surfing, shopping, and socializing with minimal interruptions.

Digital Data Shredder
Permanently destroy sensitive files to be sure they cannot be retrieved by other users when you donate, recycle, or lend your PC.

PC Tune-up
Unused applications, cached browser files, and other junk slow down your PC. McAfee QuickClean™ software removes the clutter so your computer can keep up with your digital life.

NEW Exclusive Anti-bot Protection
McAfee now blocks stealthy botnet software by denying its attempts to connect your PC to web addresses that belong to crooks. This extra defense helps prevent your computer from sending out your personal information to Internet crime networks.

NEW USB and Removable Drive Scan
Portable storage devices can be infected in their travels, spreading malicious code from system to system. McAfee can scan and block this portable payload of viruses, Trojans, and worms before they can work their way into your PC and your network.

NEW Pre-install Scan
Many people get McAfee protection because they are already infected. To help you salvage your system, McAfee works to remove infections as our software installs.

Where do they get their 59.99 regular price... it's regularly 24.99 (on sale for 14.99) at Future Shop (29.99 and 14.99 at Best Buy).

Also, why not just download Microsoft Security Essentials for free? http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

I switched to Mac a couple years ago, but from what I remember most third party anti virus programs really slow down your computer after a while.

For those who want a real antivirus that doesn't act LIKE a virus, and is better than middling per most reviews, I suggest waiting for a deal on Norton, Kaspersky or Nod32 (the latter for those not afraid of tech).

Hint: Don't believe the marketers. Research: http://www.av-comparatives.org/
McAfee doesn't even get 1 star in their latest Real World protection test, and was the worst offender at wrongly blocking sites.

In fact, MSE beat it handily in the October 2012 head to head AV performance comparison, but of course it is not available as a full suite, unlike the other top performers.

good find, thanks OP, @$6 with free shipping its a steal to those loyal to mcafee. never had a virus in my experience with computers!

Good price if this meets your needs. I used to jump on these deals but I eventually switched to MSE though and it works well for me. I guess I'm too lazy to have to deal with renewing subscriptions for antivirus software and deal with potentially losing protection if I was too slow to renew.

many thanks op. Ordered.

The way these antivirus programs slows you down after its installed is worse than having a real virus...
