McAfee Internet Security 2009
Authour’s Rating: 
McAfee Internet Security 2009 is a complete Internet security package for Windows-based computers which includes antivirus, firewall features and Internet content filtering. It appears not much different from last year’s offering, a truth that masks some improvements in programming under the hood. But it once again offers more features than Norton Internet Security 2009 and integrates them with a more intuitive user interface, the one that allows you to understand the specific feature and also to tweak its settings.
The McAfee Internet Security 2009 package is very easy to install and provides an excellent range of system protection tools. Configuration is not arduous and once completed, the user should be able to relax.
