McAfee is a well-known brand in the field of digital protection. Its software is a complete package. Its basic Antivirus package, Internet Security, and Total Protection packages are extremely effective in detecting viruses and malware on your PC as well as mobile devices. Its iOS and Android apps are equally highly rated with customers. For added security, you can use Windows Hello or a fingerprint sensor, set up different devices to authenticate your access point of your home network and encrypt files and data stored on your device using McAfee’s password manager.
All of the features we tested worked well. The scans that were quick took just 8 minutes to find any intrusions into areas that viruses are known to infect like the system files or registries. The complete scans took longer but they were shorter than the norm in 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.
