Editorial Review:
McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional protects your PC from a wide range of viruses, Trojan horses, and other rogue programs. It installs easily from CD-ROM and immediately checks your PC for any viruses that may already have infected it. As soon as you connect to the Internet, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional downloads the latest updates to ensure you are current with the latest virus signatures.
To work effectively, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional operates on many levels. The new Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK) constantly monitors your PC for viruslike activity and integrates well with many e-mail clients. VShield runs constantly in the background, checking files as you open them. Even if you choose to disable VShield, the program still protects Microsoft Office files by checking them before you open them. It also protects against dangerous e-mail scripts by looking for suspicious behavior. Any suspect activity is stopped immediately.
For users using Windows 98, 98 SE, or Me, there is the Safe & Sound function that takes copies of your documents and keeps them safe in the event they are corrupted or damaged. Note that this does not work with Windows 2000 and XP.
Some of the latest viruses can stop antivirus programs from working properly once they have infected a machine. If you suspect this is the case, you can boot your PC directly from the McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional installation CD-ROM, ensuring a clean environment for it to run in. You can also create a boot floppy to do the same thing.
Like the other products in McAfee's security range, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional uses Instant Updater to constantly check for and automatically download product updates when you are online.
Of course, any antivirus product is only as good as its ability to stop viruses from infecting your system. Happily, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional has been given a 100% rating by Virus Bulletin (although this assumes you keep your product up-to-date with Instant Updater).
The Professional edition of VirusScan 7.0 has several features not included in the standard one. The secure erase feature allows you to remove files from your PC in a far more secure way than by simply deleting them, thus protecting your sensitive data. You can also tidy up your temporary files and browser files automatically. This saves disk space and can make your PC run a little faster, too. A final privacy feature is the ability to remove MRU data. This controls the most recently used files list you see at the bottom of many programs File menus.
McAfee VirusScan 7.0 Professional Edition is a worthy update, and existing users will appreciate the improved security this release offers, as well as its additional features. --Iain Laskey, Amazon.co.uk

Rating:  - Worked until I had to install on XP
I had a copy of this running in WIN 2000 & it worked fine. I changed machines & installed it with XP & it never worked. I kept getting error messages when I booted up my Outlook. My husband's computer (on a Dell installed version) kept catching viruses on the same messages (luckily I did not open any of the suspicious attachments). After uninstalling & reinstalling several times to no avail, I contacted McAfee support (by instant messaging). The first tech support took 30 minutes ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't even think about buying this piece of absolute junk!
Unfortunately, I get a lot of viruses sent to me by mail. I use the Eudora Light mail client. McAfee VirusScan discovers the viruses Ok, but that's unfortunately not the end of the story. For each single incoming virus, this is what happens: 1) The pop-up window that's supposed to pop up and ask me what to do, actually does exactly so, and I click either "delete" or "clean", to get rid of the virus. 2) However, McAfee VirusScan fails doing so, and the pop-up window pops up again, with ...

Rating: - Worst thing I have ever downloaded, no tech support!
What a waste of time & money. I downloaded & installed the product & then when I scanned my computer it said I had a few viruses, but it couldn't delete or quarantine them. Also, around this time the Mcafee icon & shortcut disappeared from my desktop. Tried the on-line support, but after waiting 1 hour gave up. Called the phone support (which costs $2.95/minute)and the technician helped me delete the viruses (very complicated & the call took 20 min); then I was going to have to reinstall ... Read More

Mc.Afee professional 7.0 is easy to set up and easy to use. Product upgrades are fast and walks you through the process. After you register Mc.Afee professional 7.0, you are signed up for 24/7 product updates and the best part is that it is free. I prefer it over any-other product and suggest it to anyone who wants to protect ... Read More
Rating:  - I RESPECT the positive reviews--but I'm going neutral...
This program works very well--it was able to detect some viruses on my computer as soon as it was installed.
It also helps greatly when downloading, as it IMMEDIATELY notifies you if you have a "worm" or other sort of virus. It has even saved me from other viruses sent to my computer over p2p software.
I have a decent knowledge of anti-virus software, but I haven't used Norton since Windows 3.11 (YES, 3.11 not 3.1) in 1994.
The software works as it's supposed to--it can scan every single file on your computer, ... Read More
