CNET Editors' review - McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008

Good

6.7

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 6.7 out of 10
Reviewed by Robert Vamosi
Review date: 10/11/07
Release date: 10/1/07

The good: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 offers more than three user licenses at $10 per seat, the ability to scan links in IM messages, and the ability to watch movies or play games uninterrupted.

The bad: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 uses the same interface as last year, lacks hourly updates, and remains somewhere in the middle of pack in our 2008 testing results.

The bottom line: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product itself doesn't excel.
