Software Test Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-Around Security With Minors Flaws" July 30, 2024 5.0 In the last two years, my overall experience with McAfee Total Protection has been okay in general. This makes me feel secure using devices since they are covered against numerous online threats. Customer support has responded well whenever there was something I needed help with or had questions for them. I would suggest anyone looking for a trustworthy and all-encompassing security solution despite little grievances recommending McAfee Total Protection. Pros One of the things that I appreciated the most about McAfee Total Protection is its all-encompassing suite of protective features. It offers solid defense against viruses, malware, and phishing attempts. Its user interface is user-friendly, so even non computer experts can figure it out easily. Besides, such regular updates keep its security up-to-date regarding recent threats. Cons The main thing I did not like about McAfee Total Protection is that they experience slowdowns on some occasions during scans. Although the impact is not too bad; still, it can be felt when doing high demanding activities. Besides, sometimes this software runs heavy on computer resources, which could be a problem in regard to old or weak machines. Review Source OB Oscar B.

Digital Marketing Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Security for PC as well as Phone or Tabs!" May 19, 2024 5.0 The automatic scans and total protection from virus and malware attack. Great Services! Pros It's firewall system. I have been using it for a long time in my PC and its working really well. It immediately warns about any malicious website and auto scans also detect any suspicious link on my system. Cons Nothing to dislike but the price could be a bit much for personal use. Of course great thinhgs comes with some price. So if you could afford it you shoyld try using it. It'll be totally worth the price. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Well my system crashed because of a malware attack and I even lost my data and my antivirus at that time doesn't warned or protected my system.

President/CEO/Consultant Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Macfee Total Protection Is The All-inOne For Personal and Business Use" March 17, 2022 5.0 Pros I love this product because everything is in one package. It include antivirus, antispyware, and anti-malware, and Dark Web protection. Set up to schedule automated virus scans is easy, and I can adjust the settings to fit my needs. I most of all like the web protection feature that lets you know if you're about to log onto a safe website or not. Cons Though it's a little pricey, it's worth it. The only thing I don't like is the Web Boost. While I'm looing at videos online. it keeps pauses them while I'm in the middle of watching them. I thought the purpose of the Web Boost was to speed up the Internet experience, not slow it down while surfing. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Between the two, it was cheaper for me to purchase McAfee plus my Norton subscription expired.

Owner Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mcafee Total Protection in 2022" August 17, 2022 5.0 Overall, Mcafee’s Total Protection is defiantly a security suite worth the price. There are certain things in life you don’t want to skimp out on, your health, your financials, and your cyber security. Whether you’re a casual web surfer or a coding genius who works at a Tech Firm, this is the security suite for you. It’s an easy-to-use, one-stop-shop that that will take the stress and burden of keeping your data safe. Pros Pros Features: The Total Protection is as it is advertised -- a total package. With this software bundle, you will get everything you need starting with a VPN to protect your browsing anonymity. Also included are real-time intrusion trackers, antivirus software, ad blockers, network monitor, and a deep web data search, where they scan the internet for your personal data and deliver a detailed report and how to fix it. User Interface: The user interface in Mcafee’s software is very simple, which makes it very user-friendly. People with basic knowledge of computers and technology can easily navigate around and find what they are looking for. Helpful prompts are also available which tell users what each feature does and why it’s important. Pricing: Mcafee has 4 pricing tiers starting at $29.99 for a single user on one device and goes up to $79.99 for the top package which covers Unlimited devices as well as up to one million dollars in ID theft coverage. Customer Support: Mcafee offers live support, which is becoming increasingly less common. Being able to speak with someone on the phone when you’re having an issue with your cyber security is important in protecting yourself. Cons Mac version: The amount of support and level of detail given to Mac devices is underwhelming compared to everything you get with the windows version of the software. Confusing upgrades: Sometimes “highly customizable” can simply mean confusing. Features packaged in the Total Protection bundle and services promoted as individual upgrades such as Mcafee Total Protection VPN and their Safe Connect VPN can confuse customers into thinking they need both, leading to double paying for the same service.

Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Uno dei migliori antivirus in commercio" January 5, 2024 5.0 Nel complesso posso assolutamente affermare che Mcafee Total Protection svolge alla perfezione il suo compito, ovvero contrastare virus, malware, etc. Pros Questo software ti protegge in maniera impeccabile da malware e introsioni indesiderate. Cons L'unico difetto di questo antivirus è la presenza continua e invadente. Verrai bombardato da notifiche che ti avvisano che è stato rilevano un problema. Sarebbe opportuno regolare questa impostazione in modo da rendere il programma meno fastidioso. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Perché Norton era ormai obsoleto e sentivo la necessità di rimpiazzarlo.

July 29, 2023 5.0 I used it as my very first antivirus program. I received it as a promotion along with another item. Pros I thought McAfee was excellent. I enjoy using the Internet, various websites, and programs. Through the usage of McAfee, I was able to recognize my level of security since every time a problem arises on my computer, it is made clear that it has been fixed or attended to. Cons Even though it's a bit expensive, it's worthwhile. The Web Boost is the only thing I find objectionable. I'm watching videos online at the moment. While I'm watching them, it repeatedly pauses them. I mistakenly believed that the Web Boost's goal was to speed up browsing rather than slow it down. Review Source DV Daniel V.

I ended up aborting the call because the person was asking for more money and etc. etc. and I was becoming uncomfortable that something wasn't right. I hung up and call Staples (local computer store - they said bring in your machines) but I then though "this is crazy I've been with Mcafee for years....so I called customer service and they said there was no record of me talking to anyone at Mcafee.....and the two ladies from CS and from Tech helped me get things straightened out. Life savers they were...... terrific to deal with. Pros the security of knowing....I'm protected. Cons Its not cheap but you get what you pay for. Review Source LC Letonio C. Graphics Design Graphic Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Mcafee Antivirus review" February 10, 2024 3.0 Overall. I like this software but if you aren’t going to pay for premium version. It’s best to get a different antivirus software that offers more for the free version. Pros What I like most about this product is that it can help protect your electronic device if there is malware or virus on it. It has almost all features that other antivirus softwares have. Cons What I least like about this product is that it has a free option available. So if you want more out of this product, you need to pay to access them. But the thing is that most antivirus softwares offer more for the free version then what McAfee is offering. Review Source KA Kiran A.

May 25, 2022 3.0 Pros It gave me that sense of security that I crave in an antivirus, the app does a great job of detecting potentially dangerous files and that is all you really need out of an antivirus Cons It's not perfect, dangerous files get past security all the time and the constant notifications and pop ups are easy ways to make you uninstall McAfee Review Source Essoyomèwè A.
