### "Awesome Anti-virus I've used in my whole life"

June 25, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with McAfee Complete Data Protection was awesome. This software is the best of all and beats all the softwares that I had previously used in terms of both price and services.

Pros

Mc-Afee offers day-to-day virus protection as well as web pages scanning daily which has helped me to protect my data in my computer. It is easy to use and after installation, you don't need to do anything, everything is done by the software itself and provides highest protection possible.

Cons

I found that the alerts provided by Mc-Afee is annoying and sometimes it takes a lot of my RAM of my computer.

### "The most reliable antivirus"

June 16, 2018

5.0

In general terms, if you have the money to license the product, it is highly recommended for medium and large companies.

Pros

It is an antivirus that I have known for many years and it makes me feel safe, both at home and in the companies I have worked with. It just gives me a lot of confidence

Cons

Sometimes I feel that the computer, depending on the processor and memory, gets a bit slow, also the price is a bit high for small businesses.

### "A Tad Irritating."

August 28, 2018

3.0

McAfee can get things done if you are able to work through the program without getting frustrated, however I am unlikely to recommend it to anyone due to the awful experiences it has lead me through.

Pros

I like how the software protects ones assets, allows one to run protective services and gives offers and options to utilize different ranges or parts of products (full membership or free versions).

Cons

I absolutely detest how the McAfee software has countless pop ups, invasive notifications, constant redirects and sometimes unresponsive pop up options. I cannot stress enough how annoying the software can be for a beginning user, even helping someone with the software is infuriating. McAfee software, including the antivirus service was the single reason I moved to Norton... The UI of the software and irritating nature of its 'help and support' functionality just was not easy to work with or get through. I even had difficulties and the above mentioned issues with pop ups and unresponsive buttons when uninstalling the software.

### "The software is functional, versatile, and performed as expected."

February 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

It performed exactly as expected, there are many customizable options, and I was able to apply the antivirus to multiple devices. I was charged an annual renewal fee this year, however I wasn't prepared and I contacted customer service and they refunded me immediately and offered a 6 month subscription instead of a year. It was a very pleasant experience.

### "Great Virus Protection"

December 12, 2020

5.0

I feel that it served its purpose in protecting my data.

Pros

I like that you can protect multiple devices with one application. It is worth the money and pays for itself.

Cons

I feel that they have improved already and there is nothing that should be changed. This is great protection.

### "McAfee security is not so great"

June 21, 2019

3.0

McAfee security is okay for light internet data users and not for heavy users as they are less prone to virus attacks.

Pros

McAfee security is very easy to set up without any complication, even a computer learner can run the set up.

Cons

McAfee security doesn't seem to see certain computer virus and is seen as a virus when run be another spyware application.

Avast was basically a dummy antivirus as it never sees any virus

### "It complies with all the functions of a normal antivirus and much more."

June 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I used it by chance because my computer has it incorporated and when using it I am very satisfied with this antivirus, what I like the most is that when I detect a virus it does not erase the documents.

Cons

It has worked quite well so far, the only drawback I have observed is that it is a bit heavy, otherwise I have no complaints.

### "A great Defender for your equipment"

November 20, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very easy to set up. Software is not as heavy as other ones that slow down your PC. Excellent software that will protect your PC against everything.

Cons

There has not been things that I do not like about this one. Maybe the price can be adjusted a little bit.

### "safety and efficiency"

April 12, 2018

5.0

It is useful to ensure the safety of the equipment

Pros

It is an easy to install and use antivirus, it is a great product and it works very efficiently, providing excellent protection to the team, helping the team to be protected from viruses.

Cons

It really has no cons, only that the scans can take a while to be done, the rest is an excellent product to keep your computer free of viruses.

### "Great software tool!"

March 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

McAfee came with my laptop and has been helping ever since. The scans help my computer be protected from viruses and I enjoy get the notifications on updates and systems that help.

Cons

The scans can slow my computer down and take awhile to be preformed. The Internet goes slower due to this

July 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Good security, simple and managed by an administrator in the company. Doesn't hurt computer performance and does scans automatically.

Cons

No big concerns as of right now. Works in the background and does not bother the performance of the computer.

### "Excellent antivirus, reliable and easy to use."

July 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

Excellent antivirus that keeps my computer free of malware and viruses, the system is very reliable, easy to configure and use.

Cons

I have only used the free version and it has been very good, I imagine that among the plans offered is better and greater its functionality, specifically so far I have no bad experience.

### "Un antivirus indispensable."

November 11, 2022

4.0

En general estamos contentos ya que nos mantiene cubiertos en temas de seguridad frente a virus y malware por un precio bastante razonable y la facilidad de tener varios dispositivos conectados para transferir archivos y demás funciones muy interesantes.

Pros

La facilidad de implementación, realmente fue fácil la instalación y el manejo interno dentro del ordenador. La relación precio-calidad es realmente insuperable, estoy también muy satisfecho con el soporte técnico ya que tuve un problema con una instalación en un equipo y el servicio técnico me ayudo hasta solucionarlo.

Cons

Quizás las constantes actualizaciones, considero se pueden hacer en un segundo plano sin salir las ventanas emergentes tantas veces al día.

### "rely on this daily"

February 20, 2021

5.0

Everyone needs to protect the data on their personal and work computers and devices, plus personal and work phones. This is one of many to choose from but probably one of the most well-known. And that's for a reason! I feel protected when this is the software I'm using and know that this software will alert me to anything dangerous or even potentially dangerous so I can decide how to proceed.

Pros

I feel protected having had this on my computer and phone at different times. It alerts me if there are any security issues and even lets me know that my wifi is secure.

Cons

At times I've used other options that may have been more affordable, but this has always been one of the best!

### "It's a great software to protect and transfer the company data outside the network. Especially when "

June 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

1\. Its easy to use single interface helps to transfer data securely between multiple places, mainly for multiple offices. 2. The configuration is so simple. 3. The Security features and the encryption features are one of the best, which secures the business data with high grade encryption.

Cons

1\. They don't support for MacOS Server version. Currently only supports Windows NT servers and Linux variants. 2. It seems bit higher price for small business. They don't have pricing for small business people.

### "Excellent protections from viruses and malware"

This is a solid computer security system that won't let you down when a threat is made. I will repurchase from the original store I bought this, as it was less expensive than the advertisements I receive directly from McAfee.

Pros

I purchased this software a year ago at the recommendation of a sales agent. It was affordable and effective. I have not had any issues with security and it did a great job of alerting me to any potential threats.

Cons

Quite a bit of advertising to repurchase when you are near expiration

### "McAfee Software "

October 9, 2020

5.0

I have been using McAfee products since I knew what a computer was. It has been around for a while and like wine, is better with time. Thanks McAfee!!

Pros

What I like most about this software is that it actually gets the job done. I never question if my computer and apps are protected. Its is almost like the "Protection Bible" for computers. (LOL)

Cons

Overall, I do not have any complaints, not even when it comes to the price because in my opinion, you get what you paid for. When your license is up, it's easy to renew and there are many reminders to keep everything in line.

### "Considerable antivirus software"

May 17, 2020

4.0

Overall, I think it is a good antivirus software if your computer can handle it. I recommend it for those who are curious about protection & 100% security, on the cost of slowness.

Pros

It has a good security and protection, as well as it provide you with a firewall all the time. You can start using it for free initially to discover its features.

Cons

It makes the computer slow, and it takes long time to scan the computer. It blocks some websites or softwares to protect you, but you can't stop it. You need continuous updates, which is annoying to me.

April 4, 2018

Feel protected on and offline. Runs in the background and alerts you whenever issues are found. Great product to invest in.

Pros

Great product that works efficiently, and effectively. Used this product for years and runs seamlessly without and hassles in the background. I would suggest try a free version and you will definitely purchase after trial. Used at home and at work.

Cons

Don't really have cons, except you don't get full features for product unless you purchase but that is expected for most free trials.

### "Thorough and reliable "

August 11, 2017

5.0

Security and peace of mind.

Pros

The thing that I like the most about this service is that it is simple to use and has been very reliable. I use this on my work computer and have not had any problems with viruses in 4 years.

Cons

They do tend to like to up-sell a lot. Which is understandable, but I do think that it is overboard that it shows an error message like something is wrong, but really they just want me to purchase something.

### "If you want to be safe, get this software, stop looking around"

December 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very easy to set up. Does that promises. Some other antivirus put you pc very slow, this one continues protecting without affecting your PCs performance.

Cons

A good software cost, this one is no the exception. There are some other antivirus out there that handle a better price, but this one is worth for its price.
