Mcafee Cloud AV

looks like mcafee cloud av is out of beta. Anyone try it out yet ?

It seems interesting, but there are not too many tests

I don't think it has a whitelist feature that I can see.

 

Very nice, let's try it. Do you have screenshots?

 

you can find some screenshots here

I tried it just to test it. Without a whitelist feature that's a deal breaker.

Back to panda cloud free. No nags or anything just works

 

Free?

 

It's free but lacks a lot of features that a user needs

 

and you can't setup exclusions with it

 

Nope you can't. Only restore and I did a second scan and I had to restore the same file again.

 

major fail

 

Whitelist is no dealbreaker for me because I don't collect malware on my computer.

Is there a quarantine function?

 

Yes there is a quarantine function. You can restore a file but the scans will pick it up again and re quarantine it again.

 

Binned it shortly after installing, started to cause loads of lag despite initially appearing to have a light footprint.
I had to remove it using Revo forced uninstall method.

LOL, it sounded like an interesting AV, but no surprise that it's crap at the moment.

 

new release

Nice user comment on Softpedia, no answer so far.

 

Would never touch McAfee again, slow development is one of the reasons.

 

I think McAfee "cloud free" has potential. It just needs more users to feed its cloud (black and white) and share feedback on app usability/functionality.

I hope someone from McAfee chimes in.

 

Installed this again to test on my microserver.
Had to remove last time due to lag issues but that turned out to be a red herring, mobo eventually failed.
It's very impressive load wise, totals about 30mb across half dozen processes with no impact whatsoever that I can establish.
Come with a web advisor plugin that to date does not include Opera, even though Chrome is supported which seems a tad weird seeing as Opera is a derivative of Chromium?
Anyhow, it's doing a great job for me being not only invisible on Windows 10 coupled with VoodooShield but isn't chatty either!

 

Do you have the chance to test it against malware?
I remember a video from cruelsister where it didn't perform very well (you can search "Grandmother sent me an Email" on youtube for the user cruelsister1)

 

I haven't although I do know Mcafee isn't the world's best for protection, hence my use of VoodooShield in tandem

 

That's really strange.

 

looks phishy
