Pros: Put up solid numbers in detecting known malware; has extras such as parental controls; often available at a discount price.
Cons: Very poor numbers in real-world malware blocking and with false positives.
Bottom line: McAfee's solid performance at detecting known malware earns it some consideration, but its dismal real-world malware blocking and over-the-top problem with false positives give us serious pause.
