THE GOOD
McAfee Internet Security 2008 covers three PCs for about $50; includes backup and recovery; all of the tools integrate well.

THE BAD
McAfee Internet Security 2008 offers security updates only once a day, independent test scores could be higher, no tutorial or manual, and telephone tech support still costs.

McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools.
