More information

 

Final build is 8.0.0.912, great AV.

Where do you get it as home user?
I even tested it as a home user.

 

I have a grant#

 

I also am interested in buying & downloading VSE 8.0i online for home use, and have posted in the McAfee Support Forums about this. I'm thinking that McAfee keep the question of VSE home use pretty quiet for marketing reasons - they have never responded to an e-mail from me enquiring about where I could buy VSE 7 for home use. If anyone has the inside track on this (i.e. legit purchase of bona fide VSE 8.0i), then please PM me, but I won't follow-up on any corner-cutting - no offence

 

Unless McAfee have changed their policy with this new version, you cannot obtain a single-user license for Home use.

This is their corporate/network AV and has none of the bloat of the Home retail product; http://www.mcafeesecurity.com/us/audience/enterprise_home.asp.

However, if your company uses the Enterprise edition, you can then use it on your home machine as part of the site license.

 

I don't know....... But at my Uni they use Symantec, My Department uses McAfee Enterprise.... So i get the best of both world

But i haven't try it yet. Anyone know its resource usage? And if it is complusory to install its firewall?

 

Without firewall and email scanner installed it takes up about 27mB memory but it seems to run very light.

At work I have seen it run on a variety of boxes from Pentium II's to 4's with no slowdown whatsoever.

The install is very slick and you can deselect the firewall.

 

McAfee sells VSE to corporate users only. In fact, since VSE won't be sold seperately, probably only corporate users can afford the cost.

"The new product will be sold only as part of various McAfee software suites, which feature a variety of enterprise security tools, according to the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company."
