McAfee Internet Security

I used McAfee Internet Security for many years but some time ago I decided to use AVG as a replacement and was very pleased with its functionality and efficiency.  AVG had also faired much better in a number of past reviews.

Having recently made the change to fibre broadband my new ISP provides McAfee Internet security as a free add on so I decided that once again I’d give it a try.

The lack of the previous spam filtering functionality was a disappointment but the fact that Windows Networking was blocked between my networked computers was a major annoyance.  I opened the appropriate ports and enabled the appropriate functions within the McAfee firewall without success.

I will be reverting to my previous security products and I doubt if I’ll ever use McAfee products again in the future.

A warm dry Saturday

Work is continuing on the new fences, John is using an air powered nail gun to attach the feather edge uprights and it’s quite amazing how quickly the fence is being put up.

I’ve had to restore the main software drive on one of my computers as Norton Internet Security 2006 is still causing major problems if I use Live Update to take the latest program updates, it keeps accessing the drive and it’s impossible to open the Norton interface to disable it. I think when the subscription expires I’ll be uninstalling Norton on that machine and using an alternative solution for anti-virus, firewall and spam blocking.
