| McAfee SiteAdvisor | Rating  |
Safety while browsing the Internet is enhanced with a feature in Total Protection Service called McAfee SiteAdvisor. This feature of the software will monitor, and notify about the safety rating of each site. This balloon will report on the safety of any Web site, even while using a search engine.
This feature sets it apart from other software of this type, because it was common to wait until the user has opened the Web site before they are informed of the Web site’s security issues. However, SiteAdvisor™ gives a user the liberty to feel safe about the Web sites they visit.
The McAfee SecurityCenter is hassle-free in managing components of the Total Protection Service. It can be used to track how the effectiveness of security controls, or policies such as the Anti-virus or Firewall components. Therefore, if someone is using the network at a completely different location, it is still possible to use ToPS.
| Value For Money | Rating  |
Overall, it is a good buy and indeed worth it. Many security applications are available to detect Spyware and Viruses, but this service has added Firewall protection along with Internet-based reporting on the system’s security.
It is a great value for money, because it saves the user a considerable amount compared to buying each software component separately. There is less software purchased, and less software to install.
McAfee Total Protection Service is available with a one-year to three-year license. Buying up to 25 one-year licenses will cost around $34.98 per license, while up to 25 three-year licenses sell for around $61.22 per license.
Businesses will also be able to save while using the Internet-based McAfee SecurityCenter, as it fully replaces any necessary IT staff or technical support for security needs. Plus frequent automatic updates can ensure the latest security protection is available.
Overall Recommendation
I am often skeptical about the claims that software developers and companies make about what their software can do; then download to find that it does not perform as intended.
However, this was not the case with McAfee Total Protection. It is software that does what it says! After installation the computer was moving along like a well-oiled machine, as if no changes were made to it.
Some security software can cause a system to become sluggish, but during and after installation of McAfee Total Protection, no “hiccup” to the normal process was observed.
The way the latest version of this software integrated onto the system was quite impressive, and anyone familiar with software of this type will be truly amazed at its capabilities!
