Is McAfee a good antivirus?

Yes. McAfee ranks among the top anti-malware scanners on the market, with a consistent 100% detection rating for various malware, including trojans, rootkits, spyware, adware, and more. In my tests, McAfee’s full system scan took about 1 hour to complete, which is comparable to top competitors like Bitdefender . McAfee allows you to schedule scans, too, and there’s also an option to customize your scan (you can select specific files to scan). McAfee offers affordable antivirus plans for individuals and families across a range of devices.

Will McAfee remove malware from my computer?

Yes. McAfee is a reliable antivirus that can scan your PC for viruses and protect it in real-time. It performed consistently well in my tests, detecting all kinds of malware, such as ransomware, spyware, cryptojackers, adware, etc. It also includes a real-time protection engine that can block malware files from being downloaded or opened on your device. With auto-renewal enabled, you’ll also benefit from the McAfee Virus Protection Pledge. This means that McAfee promises to give users their money back if it cannot remove malware from their devices ( Norton has a similar deal with their products, as well).

Will McAfee slow down my computer?

It likely will, at least on a full scan. McAfee slowed down my PC during a full system scan , but users can also schedule scans during the night to avoid any slowdowns. McAfee is unlikely to slow down your system when you’re not performing a scan. That said, if you’re looking for a very lightweight antivirus, take a look at Bitdefender , which is extremely easy on system resources.

Does McAfee have a free version?

McAfee doesn’t have a free antivirus for protecting computers, but it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee with all of its plans (extended to 60 days for auto-renewal customers). You can use the Android and iOS app without a subscription, but you’ll only get access to a limited set of features.

Is McAfee available for iOS and Android?

Yes. McAfee has mobile apps for both iOS and Android. McAfee’s mobile app offers advanced anti-malware and anti-phishing protection, a Wi-Fi security check, and a VPN. It’s one the best mobile apps on the market today — and it’s extremely affordable when purchased as part of any multi-device plan .

Which McAfee should I buy?

It depends on what you need! To cover 5 devices and benefit from McAfee’s excellent malware protection and most of its extra features, you can opt for the Essential plan . But if you have a larger household and would like unlimited device coverage, the Premium plan is a great option. If you want comprehensive identity theft protection, you should check out the Advanced plan. All plans are available as family variants, getting you extra licenses and parental controls.

Can McAfee be trusted?

Yes. McAfee is a safe and secure software you can install on your Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. McAfee is a legitimate cybersecurity company that doesn’t engage in shady endeavors, such as logging your data and selling it to third-party advertisers. It scans, detects, and removes malware from your devices and helps prevent real-time cyber threats like phishing attacks, ransomware, rootkits, and trojans. It also offers a lot of extra features, including a firewall and a VPN.

Is there a better antivirus than McAfee?

My favorite antivirus is Norton . Its scans are faster and use fewer resources, it has better parental controls and a better password manager, and it comes with other features that McAfee lacks, such as webcam protection and cloud backup. That being said, McAfee’s malware detection rate is just as good as Norton’s, it’s also feature-rich, it offers competitive pricing plans , and it’s an overall excellent value.

Pretty good

المستخدم Windows

I'm still trying to figure out how to use this software, but it has served me well. It's worth the money by a longshot and I'm really happy with my purchase. I have had no troubles or viruses yet. I hope this helps!

not bad

I don't know what other people are using but I use McAfee total protection and had no problem with it. I have no pop-ups, my laptop is not slowed and it can catch viruses. just have a complaint about its VPN which asks for my credit card details for using it. I don't give my card details and not using their VPN.

Don't bother

You might as well buy

Does what any other anti-virus protection, including free/in-built ones do. Nothing more (except the price). But what they do offer in excess of this, is that if you do not renew your subscription (for example because you are broke, don't have your own home at the moment and are trying to regroup, is a load of horrible, passive-aggressive pop-ups about 'risk' and all the threats to your computer. They also virtually cripple your system. Like the modern version of the protection racket.

Andrew Waller Peter Stokes

They also make it exceedingly difficult to uninstall their program. Cannot get rid of them!

Total protection

This is a rip off company. Even after paying for one year subscription, Their pop up windows shows asking for buying their product. It is very annoying. Besides they ask to remove antivirus for me, even when I have paid for a full year protection for my laptop. I hate them.

Get ready to lose money

Bought McAfee kept hijacking my computer and switching my search engine. Also slowed down up loading. Called customer service to politely ask for a refund. The rep started arguing with me that it's impossible. Yet had the same computer for 10 years with no issues. In fact, since deleting the software I never had an issue. I told the rep to keep the money and hung up. The guy called back 3 times.

The rep said it's not possible that it was MacFee yet, as soon as I got rid of it, the issue resolved. Even if it's true what the rep said, then the system is still crap since it missed the virus malware that was causing the issue.

Not only is it a crap system in my opinion, they will no refund your money for a substandard software. My advise ...أظهر المزيد

My review of 2020 LiveSafe McAfee

I recently bought a Dell laptop and it came with a 12 month subscription of McAfee LiveSafe suite. The suite is OK in terms of basic protection, but it tries to constantly nag you about upgrades such a VPN, parental controls, password manager. It also tries to install a extension called WebAdvisor which used to be called SiteAdvisor. It tries to warn you of rogue and malicious web sites. Its OK, but it doesn't always catch every bad web site. Again it relies on a black list that requires updates. The nice thing about LiveSafe is that I can install it on 10 devices which is the most generous out of all the security suites I have seen. I'm gonna to use it for the year and then decide if its worth renewing.

BEN MARTENS JohnIL

You don't need this "protection" and there are cheaper and better options for VPNs, etc. It's bundled with manufacturers like Dell because that's how they con people into subscriptions. It's essentially borderline legal malware/ad...أظهر المزيد

Unauthorized access

I have purchased antivirus last year , the renewal cost was more than the purchase cost and when I tried for refund , the refund was not initiated rather that guy tried making transaction from my account , I got the mail from my bank, and i have to block my card for that. I have paid 3000 for the renewal.

how can they try unauthorized access to bank account ???

Bank informed me for the same that somebody tried withdrawing amount , i got a mail also
