Who now but believes that the 2006 Security Suite will also run on Windows Vista, you are wrong! The Vista upgrade can not even install when the McAfee Internet Security Suite is on it. And although the version is totally up to date. Earlier versions should not be running as a fortiori. You need to uninstall all McAfee products, if you want to upgrade to Windows Vista! Is Vista then once it, you can not subsequently re-install existing McAfee products. The installation simply breaks with the note from compatibility issues. This review is based on a test with Windows Vista Ultimate (RC1).
Do you want to McAfee products even continue to use Windows Vista, you are forced to buy products from the 2007 series! Thus McAfee builds on tradition, because when changing from Windows 98 to XP, it was that way. Previous versions no longer ran and were to use at best, as proof of license. No other program caused on my Windows XP computer when upgrading such problems. email inquiries to the McAfee customer simply remain unanswered. Gladly you can also call the expensive telephone hotline :( Also McAfee confused customers with its new product variations and editions:.. VirusScan, VirusScan Plus, Internet Security Suite PC Protection Plus, Total Protection and Wireless Protection There are, of course, . all McAfee products in single versions Whoever nor looks - who needs what and what license for that product must have, is really good.
Now a few words about the Internet Security Suite 2007 (version 9) saying, I have previously tested the US version. The new version is simply bad. It is activated via the Internet, the installation takes forever. Once the installation is finally complete, the system must be restarted (still). After Windows restarts Windows is lame extreme. The Security Suite overloaded the CPU to the full. Even the simple letter in Word, the text appears delayed. And I've really not very old computers: My Amilo M notebook just celebrated his first birthday :). How good is the scanning performance of the Suite, will only become clear during operation.
CONCLUSION: I'm disappointed and the new McAfee generation can not recommend. Only the scanning performance of earlier products keeps me still at McAfee.
