overview

THE GOOD
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 sports a new interface, includes the SiteAdvisor antiphishing toolbar, backup and recovery tools, and a data shredder.

THE BAD
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 uses a two-step download, process; doesn't play well with other security apps; feels heavy; runs multiple processes; not all of its tools are security related.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.
