In line with the suite’s inconsistent performance, McAfee’s interface was good in some ways and less appealing in others. It did somewhat better in on-demand speed, which involves scheduled and manually run scans, with a fifth-place finish.
It was second to last for on-access scan speed, which refers to how quickly files are scanned when you access or open them. McAfee’s suite also failed in scan speed tests.

That doesn’t quite compare to the score of about 99 percent for top performers such as the Avira security suite and the Norton security suite, but is much better than the sorry 55.7 percent rate that the Trend Micro package produced with password stealers. It caught 97.4 percent of malware thrown at it, though it lagged with a 90 percent success rate at identifying spyware varieties that steal passwords and financial information. In ’s malware-detection tests, which use 654,914 collected malware samples and then measure how well antivirus detects the nasties, McAfee’s suite performed respectably. Offsetting Artemis and McAfee’s otherwise generally good malware detection rate, however, were its slow scanning speed, its interface annoyances, and its very poor performance in proactive, behavioral detection tests. The 2009 version features Artemis, a new Internet-based malware detection feature. McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 ($60 for three users as of 12/23/08) landed smack dab in the middle of the rankings for “ Paying for Protection,” our 2009 roundup of security suites, ranking fifth out of the nine tested products.
