Mcafee Total Protection 2010

Installation is very quick and easy.

Taking up to 35-40 MB RAM when idle.


Quick scan nearly takes 5 mins.

Firewall is easily configurable.



Interface is very simple. I guess its because its a beta version. Mcafee total protection 2009 has a different GUI altogether.



Will check on the detections and heuristics later.

Overall a very nice product. But can slow down old computers.
Nevertheless, if you've got 4 GB RAM, would you mind giving 40-50 MB towards security?

What i like about mcafee is its virtual technician. It can fix many issues without reinstalling mcafee products.

Hi Leslie, i guess the earlier products were horrible. This one's quite impressive. Try it.

You are Welcome. :)

mcafee detected samsung pc studio files as trojan and deleted them. now i can no longer run my samsung pc studio software.

Back to Vipre AV.

Man My old school used the 2006 version and it used at least 200MB for the shield (avshield.exe, I think).
Glad to see some improvements.
When I look at AntiVirus in terms of resources, I really dont care about RAM as long as its under 50MB. I care about CPU usage. Mcafee is always high on CPU. Just load a program with task manager open and see how much CPU it uses, same with Vipre. NOD32 is VERY good at CPU.
