25 Oct McAfee Antivirus Review
McAfee is a reputable brand in the field of digital protection. Its software has all the right buttons. Its basic Antivirus package, Internet Security, and Total Protection packages are highly effective in detecting viruses and malware on your PC and mobile devices. Users also love its iOS and Android apps. You can enhance security by using Windows Hello or a finger print sensor, setting up alternative devices to authenticate at the entry point to your home network, and then encrypting data and files stored on your device.
All of the features we tested were working well. The scans that were quick were quick, taking just eight minutes to identify intrusions into areas that viruses typically infect, like the system files and registries. The complete scans took longer however they were shorter than the average in the field.
The antivirus itself is easy to navigate and uses a clean interface with all functions carefully grouped into their own tabs for convenience. The Tracker Remover feature is especially helpful, deleting cookies and temporary files that can eat up space and potentially provide hackers with sensitive information. Unfortunately, accessing some of the most important features, such as parental controls and identity theft protections, requires you to log into a separate online dashboard.
Twitter and Facebook are the only way to contact customer support. Email or phone are not an option. You can also discover solutions to common issues by consulting the extensive troubleshooting manual and an extensive FAQ library. If you’re looking for personalized tech help you can use McAfee’s Techmaster Concierge service and get a one-on-1 assistance with your smart devices, computer and other technologies.
