McAfee is a big company with a mixed reputation. Some people totally hate their products and are not afraid to make this public, while others have used them for a long time and did not switch to products from other vendors. I am totally new to the world of McAfee products and I was curious to know if this mixed reputation is well deserved or not. Therefore I was very excited to test McAfee Internet Security 2012 and see how effective it is at securing a Windows computer. Let’s see what I have found out.

F-Secure Internet Security is a suite which traditionally fared well in our tests, here at 7 Tutorials. The Finish company has joined other important security vendors in launching the 2012 version of security products, which bring a few changes compared to previous versions.
