    Not Worth It

    Date: Jan 10 2024
    Summary

    Waste of time, not a good product, basically a scam so they can make money off of Yahoo clicks. Should be reported to someone cause WOW.

    Positive

    I didn't notice any positives other than scanning my downloads. Rescanning my computer with Malwarebytes, it missed SO MUCH.

    Negative

    Had to do so much research and uninstalling after realizing they were somehow changing my browser to redirect to Yahoo from Google. SO ANNOYING.

    This program is a virus.

    Date: Oct 28 2024
    Summary

    It was a poor experience. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to uninstall it.
    It was installed against my will when I bought the computer, and refused to go away no matter what I did.

    Positive

    Nothing. I was happy when I could finally uninstall it.

    Negative

    It did not provide any protection, and kept hijacking my default search engine to Yahoo secure search.

    It's a scam

    Date: Jun 14 2023
    Summary

    Scam app that installed itself on my computer and could not easily be deleted. From what I can see online this is what they do to every user, I would be very surprised if anyone has ever actually willingly bought this awful product.

    Positive

    There are none, it's a virus. There's nothing good to say about the product at all.

    Negative

    Any so called anti virus program that installs itself without permission and then cannot be deleted is clearly a scam. It adds no value to you at and just slows your computer down with continued popups. The people who operate these kinds of service are trying to trick you out of your money and will kill your computer to do it.

    Yahoo Secure Search Virus

    Date: Sep 05 2023
    Summary

    Yahoo Secure Search Virus made me pull my hair out. While the extension worked itself, it's not worth the hassle of dealing with the reinstallation of the secure yahoo search engine. This is malware in itself.

    Positive

    Performs functions of most standard web protectors. Tested on some confirmed malicious sources to ensure it worked.

    Negative

    Leaves a redirect virus that is left over and re-installs itself even after uninstalling McAfee Web Advisor. Had to remove registry data to resolve the issue.

    Once Useful, Now Annoying

    Date: Aug 16 2021
    Summary

    Used to be a good product now it's just an ad for a different product and unless you want another 60-70 pop up ads per day, I don't recommend it.

    Positive

    Warns you about suspicious links, scans your downloads, generally saves you from yourself when it comes to online security.

    Negative

    Used to say there were no cons but as of this morning literally every time I switch to a new webpage it pops up an ad for McAfee secure search which is absolute garbage. It's annoying enough that I would rather risk the dangers I listed in the pro's section than keep it installed.
