The interface which has not changed from last year is easy to use and very intuitive.  As with the other latest McAfee programs, system resources are not locked up well the program is running, which is a big plus

The software falls within the mid-range price point within its class.

Although lacking firewalls and other add-on programs, the higher cost of this program is well justified by the ease-of-use.
