A Few Questions About Mcafee Internet Security Centre?

1. Anonymous Says

   Yes, McAfee has definatly gotten a lot better in the years. I used to be in the same boat as you, but recently they have redone it as to allow less resource hogging, and yet still output more protection. I have high expectations for virus/malware blocking programs, and yet even with McAfee’s real-time scanning, it uses minimal resources. These are the process RAM usages:
   mcsshield.exe (firewall) 53.8 MB
   mcsvhost.exe (service host) 9.2 MB
   mfevtps.exe (process validator) 2.2 MB
   mfefire (core firewall) 1.1 MB
   mcagent (security center backgrounding) 1.1 MB
   Total RAM usage: 67.4 MB
   Processor wise, this program doesn’t use any percentage of it, and at most (full scan), the my 480M Core i5 runs at 20%, and is optimized for all 4 cores of my processor.
   Overall, McAfee Security Center is a very good protection program all around, and I would reccomend it to anyone (I’m still using my 15 month trial even though I have the Norton IS 2012 3-user box sitting 10 feet away from me)

   Mcafee isnt great, as an IT supplier, we have stopped selling this to our clients.
   I would recommend Vipre. one off payment and the license will last the lifetime of the machine.
   If you wanted a free AV however i agree with Microsoft Security Essentials. Very good basic level of protection. Hasn’t let me down….more than once…
