McAfee has been in the business of antivirus for a long time. The company was established in 1988. is also well-known for its firewall and antispam, as well as file encryption and public key infrastructure product lines. It is however best known for its anti-virus software and is a dominant player in the market. Its security suites offer comprehensive protection against malware and viruses and are backed by a $1 million identity theft guarantee.
All plans from McAfee include a full-featured malware scanner that can stop the entry of malware into your computer system and kill or eliminate those malware that have already penetrated it. Its real-time protection engine blocks www.swiftvpnapp.com/avast-anti-track-premium-license-key-2021 malware-related files from downloading. It also reroutes and encrypts data to ensure that your online activities isn’t hacked and used against you.
McAfee consistently scored highly in our tests for both the AV Test 0-day test as well as our malware protection test. It also scored 100% in our privacy tests.
The interface of the suite is clean and easy to navigate. Accessing features like parental controls and identity theft protections can be an issue, though. They’re separated into separate menus on the dashboard. Getting support is also a little difficult. The McAfee community forum is active, but you’ll need Techmaster Concierge to get help for more complex issues.
The biggest disappointment was that McAfee’s system scanner failed to clear some junk files on our test systems. It also does not provide the ability to drag and drop a folder or a file into the suite to scan like some of its competitors. This is a major no-no in a security product of this price.
