McAfee is a reputable name for digital protection, with software that hits the majority of the important buttons. Its basic Antivirus package, Internet Security, and Total Protection packages are very effective in detecting malware and viruses on your PC as well as mobile devices. Customers also rate it highly on its iOS and Android apps. You can add extra security by using Windows Hello or a finger print sensor, setting up different devices to authenticate at the point of entry to your home network, as well as encrypting the data and files on your device.
All of the features we tested performed well. The quick scans were comparatively short, requiring only eight minutes in our tests to identify intrusions into the areas where viruses can infect, including systems files and registries. The full scans we ran took a bit longer, but were still much shorter than average for the field.
The antivirus itself is easy to navigate and uses a clean interface with all functions carefully grouped into their own tabs for convenience. The Tracker Remover feature is especially helpful, deleting cookies and temporary files that can eat up space and potentially provide hackers with sensitive information. Unfortunately, accessing some of the most important features, such as parental controls and identity theft protections, requires you to log into a separate online dashboard.
Twitter and Facebook are the only options to reach customer support. Email or phone calls are not available. There’s also a deep FAQ library and a thorough set of troubleshooting manuals which will assist you in solving common issues. If you’re looking to get the most customized tech assistance you can sign up for McAfee’s Techmaster Concierge service and get one-on-one assistance with your device, computer and other technologies.
