McAfee is a long-standing participant in the antivirus market. The company founded in 1988 is also well-known for its firewall antispam, file encryption, and public key infrastructure product lines. It is most well-known, however, for its anti-virus software and has a stronghold on the market. Its security suites offer comprehensive protection against malware and viruses and are supported by a one-million dollar identity theft guarantee.

All McAfee plans come with a full featured malware scanner which can stop the entry of malware into your system and kill or quarantine any viruses already in the system. The real-time engine blocks malware from being downloaded and reroutes, encrypts and reroutes information so that your online activity isn’t intercepted.

In our tests, McAfee consistently earned top scores in the tests of AV Test’s 0-day test as well as our malware protection test. It also scored 100% in our privacy tests.

The interface of the suite is simple to navigate and clear. Accessing features such as parental controls and identity theft protections is quite a hassle, though. They’re separated into distinct menus on the dashboard. Support is also a bit difficult. The McAfee Community Forum is active however Techmaster Concierge will be required to assist you www.swiftvpnapp.com/digitize-board-processes-with-the-best-board-governance-software with more complex issues.

The biggest disappointment was that McAfee’s system scanner failed to remove junk files that we tested on our systems. It also fails to provide a way to drag and drop a file or folder into the suite to scan, as many competitors do. This is a major omission for a security suite of this price.
