Summary: A big no-go on my system
Review: After installing the suite my computer has been seriously misbehaving and freezing. Like other users, uninstalling seems to be the impossible order of the day. I finally had to reformat. I took a chance and reinstalled but this time only one application at a time. After each application I would reboot and then do the next. That seems to have done it. I'm not convinced yet, even after the reinstall, that the suite works that well.

Summary: Windows ME and McAfee Office 3.1 NOWAY, ME & 3.5 OK
Review: Bought McAfee Office 3.1 to run on a Windows ME computer. Initial installation is when the nightmares began. Could not uninstall all the McAfee Office 3.1 components either. Not about to spend ADDITIONAL $$$ on Toll Calls, used the McAfee Chat over internet. After a few weeks of deadends and frustration, Demanded to chat with a supervisor. McAfee then sent a new McAfee Office package. Guess what ??? What came in the mail was not version 3.1 but version 3.5 This new 3.5 had a totally different set up screen. Version 3.5 loaded without any problems and "so far" runs just fine even after 3.1 about messed up the computer. McAfee has real problems with anything less than version 3.5 and Windows ME. If your users manual says Version 3.1, don't wait -- Make them send you a new package with version 3.5 (or higher if they have it).

Beware of new purchase, current "advertised" versions all say version 3.0

Summary: bad software, bad custom service
Review: Bought one from CompUSA and installed it. Really feel bad, the uninstaller (v6.02) integrated in it doesn't work at all. After several times of installation and uninstall, I gave up. The custom service is ridiculous. There's a phone number, but it's not a 800 number so I have to make a long distance call. After several entries I was told I should call another number (long distance call to me again). This time I was told their office hour was before 4:30pm. So I have to use their 'smart' internet custom service, sent emails and wait. No response yet for almost a day by now.

Fortunately I returned it to CompUSA and got a refund. A person worked there also thought this software was really bad and recommand me to buy a Norton. At least I won't buy any other product from McAfee.

Summary: This program was more problems then windows
Review: I bought this program at officemax.com Because I needed a firewall and antivirus. I did not have any blue screens before I installed this program and when I tryed to unistall it the program told me it was running and could not be unistalled. So I used system restore thet commes with windows ME and that took it off.

After asking a freind what he had for antivirus program he told me he had InoculateIT and so I bought it from amazon.com and it workes great no blue screens.

I use zonealarm for my firewall and it works great to no blue screens.

Summary: This program was more problems then windows
Review: I have had a home computer since 1984 and worked at an industrial plant as an electrician and instrument technician. I have used many programs. This has got to be the worst program that i have ever purchased or used. I Purchased this program in mid June and have never been able to use it. Your problem will start after you think you have installed it. You will get the install program every time you start your computer. The Tech. Rep will send you instructions as to a manual uninstall and safe install. Your troubles have only started. Missing files and weird computer freezes and other troubles begin to show up. Customer Service stinks. You will be told that 3.1v is the latest version, but according to other people there is a 3.5 version that may work. I don't know. I am going to do one more manual uninstall, but this program will not go back on. It will be another program. My advice is just don't buy. I would rate it a 0 star. Sometimes we take our lumps and go on.

Summary: McAfee Office is ...
Review: I installed McAfee Office for my Window ME, 1 Ghz, 60 Gbyte computer. Nothing but trouble. Since I installed it, my computer won`t start. It feezes since right from starting the computer. I tried to uninstall it, but because my computer freezes right from the start, I have a hard time with it. I spent so much time to figure it out. I even couldn`t do my homework because my computer won`t work at all. Now I am using the computer in my school library. I really want to let you know, do NOT buy McAfee. I will try to get Norton instead. And when I get back home, I`ll try to do recovery for my computer, which is that I have to delete all my program files and install everything from the beginning again. See if my computer will take to start the recovery software. If not, I will have to find a technician to do it. McAfee is ...!!! I am very mad. I wish I could give ZERO STAR for McAfee if I could choose. But Amazon doesn`t give me that option.

Summary: It Works For Some, I Guess
Review: I purchased McAfee Office this new year. I installed it in my older computer a Sony Vaio 266 MHz, I had also installed the new Windows Me upgrade, problems with my computer started there after. I managed to figure out how to uninstall McAfee Office which took up alot of my time. Once figured, it was a long process of commands just to unistall it, it was a pain!

I then took a chance and decided to install McAfee Office in a newer Sony Model I purchased this year(800Mhz), which had already came pre-installed with Windows ME. So far, McAfee Office is working fine. I have had no problems. Guard Dog takes up a lot of memory! The 128MB of SDRAM my new computer came with was not enough to support what info I have on my hard drive, since guard dogs takes up most of it. I installed another 128MB of SDRAM, now I'm happy with my computers performance.

Summary: Nightmare at McAfee
Review: I run windows me, installed Office 3.1. The product did not work. Unfortunately, I could not get it to uninstall either. After a 62 minute toll call to McAfee's free tech help, and 9 chat calls to their tech service, they cannot tell me how to uninstall the product either. I have spent over 12 hours and cannot delete the software from my computer. It appears to me, that McAfee was not ready for this software to work on windows ME.

This is supported by the fact that even though McAfee Office states that it is for Windows ME, when you open the box and read the directions, only parts of the software actually work on Windows ME.

Windows ME users beware! I cannot get McAfee Office 3.1 off my computer and therefore cannot use another virus scan. Reformatting my hard drive looks like it will be the only solution.
