McAfee Woes (and serious lack of Customer Care)




Based on the problems my mom is having with McAffee, I am so glad I dumped
them 5 years ago. Their AV engine is obviously still sub-standard.

And if you post it, be sure that the press folks at mcafee find out.

Love that customer care. Please be sure to get this into all of your
advertisements so that folks know how great it is to work with McAfee
Customer Service. I really liked the touch of sending along a long
distance number that I will need to call and pay for. Nicely done. Great
service.

I guess you aren't interested in keeping customers. You sent me no cost
free way to contact support.

The problem is that McAfee does not find viruses that are two years old. I
would think that would be a customer service issue of the largest magnitude.
I will be happy to share your e-mail with all the techy folks I know in the
area so that they understand how little support you give a customer when
your product fails.

Comments:Gentlemen, I just purchased your product. Prior to that I had been
using Panda Software but decided to switch to you because the Panda firewall
has issues with Windows XP Professional. Today I scanned for a virus, and
your product told me I was clean no viruses. However, I had been notified by
an e-mail correspondent that they got a funny e-mail from me . one I hadn t
sent. I went on-line to the Panda web page and ran a scan. Panda found the
Mydoom.n.worm virus on my PC and fixed it. That came out in 2004. Why didn t
your product find it I am concerned that I bought a pig in the poke. I use
Outlook 2003 for my e-mail client. I want to be protected and fear that I am
not. This is a serious problem for me. Please give this your attention. I
need to know why your product couldn t find a two year old virus. Exactly
how much at risk am I using your product Thank you, Lynne Ober
