Complete security for your PC or mobile device

The security features and their overall performance are outstanding. McAfee keeps adding new information and malware protection settings according to user feedback.

McAfee is one of the oldest and most trusted names in the cybersecurity industry. It is still a powerful antivirus which protects devices both online and from malware downloaded from the Internet. The web-security features include spam blocking, social media protection, and safe network location. It also enables the user to put up parental controls on some programs and websites. Moreover, one of the most significant advantages of this antivirus program lies in the scanning.

Besides checking files and folders for viruses, it notices ‘suspicious behavior.’ Once it runs into something off, it compares it to the ever-growing list of indicators to detect possible issues. The company runs a Threat Center where any detected issues get analyzed.

The browser extensions are also solid, helping you avoid risky websites and accidentally downloading viruses. The Social Media Guard protects you from false accounts and posts hiding spam and viruses. The program keeps your devices running smoothly as well, thanks to its cleaning and vulnerability scan features.
