I have a problem with the above. Every time I try to update the above service
IE 6 sends an error report and shuts down? Hmm.

McAfee used to be a good product at one time several years ago...now it is
just a useless POS.

Unless Alcatraz has recently been declared "The Gospel,"
it's no different than any other review/reviewer. Each
has its favorite, and least favorite, and no two ever
seem to agree.

I have used McAfee AV since it first appeared, and the McAfee firewall since
they bought out and converted NeoWatch (NeoWatch 2.4 was a decent product)
into their own product.. never had a problem with them, unlike Norton which
has been slowing down computers for years..

For sure, all of the comparison tests are a little subjective, but I may
look into The Shield.. I have now seen this product get high marks in two
other tests..
