Cuong Do April 4, , pm. Miguel Quintero May 14, , am. The other features that come standard with McAfee virus protection from Comcast is Malware detection, spyware detection, email scanning and of course an up to date database for virus protection. The trouble with virus protection is that the jaggoffs creating the viruses will always be at least one step ahead of those charged with creating fixes and protection software to combat them.
One thing I've tried to impress upon people over the past couple years is that regardless of which software you choose to protect your computer, you still have to take responsibility for what you are doing online. Viruses can still get through to your computer, especially when new viruses are being introduced on a daily basis. So, if you let your children and their friends download the latest free tunes from Limewire, then you'll probable end up with an infected PC.
McAfee comes standard with all the features listed above, and maybe a couple other features I may have forgotten about, right out of the gate, whereas free downloads like AVG only provide partial protection against everything unless you upgrade to a premium service.
Well, in a stunning development, it seems that Comcast, or Xfinity, or whatever these jokers are calling themselves these days I haven't been pleased with Comcast for many months, see Xfinity - The new "C" word is making the switch from McAfee to Norton anti-virus protection, just in time for me to have to revamp this entire Hub, less than a week after I wrote it.
Wait, no I don't; I still think McAfee is the superior product. I'll know once I've made the switch. I pretty much have to switch, 'cuz Norton protection is better than no protection, and AVG isn't something I'm eager to reinstall. Oh well, I'll post more when I know more.
How I know: I received an email from Comcast this evening telling me about the exciting switch to Norton. This after all the trash-talking they did about Norton and Symantec the whole time I worked there.
What a joke! Comcast's hypocrisy knows no bounds. Although Comcast will no longer be offering virus protection software from McAfee, that doesn't mean you still can't utilize the McAfee security suite. With Mcafee Anitvirus Plus you will enjoy the same protection and usability as you have in the past. Clearly, Comcast anti virus protection is in a state of flux, and hopefully things will settle a bit so that those customers who have been so loyal to this floundering telecommunications giant will once again find themselves on stable ground with their ISP.
Update: May 11, Well, I finally made the switch to the Norton anitvirus package that Comcast now offers their customers, one day before the McAfee package expired. The installation was a painless as it could have possibly been, as it intuitively offered to uninstall the McAfee software that it was replacing. So far, so good. I like the interface, as it seems to be a bit more user friendly than I had in past experiences with this software.
We'll see how that holds up. I'll post occasional updates as my usage progresses. Hopefully, this software won't negatively affect my PC and my browsing capabilities, but I have enough experience in this arena to solve many of my own problems if they should arise.
May 14, The only drawback I've noticed thus far is that my browser takes much longer to load than it did before the install. Once is pops up, though, it's good to go, so no worries really. I'm still rather impressed with how simple and user-friendly the download process was, though I'm sure the Comcast call centers were inundated with calls regarding the switch.

Some virus protections will find and keep viruses in a quarenteen area. When you stop paying a yearly fee for these protections, they release all viruses back onto your computer, like Norton. Norton is awful. My experience is that it slows down internet connectivity and blocks many useful add ons.
