McAfee Antivirus Review

McAfee is a reputable name in the field of digital security, with software that hits all the important buttons. Its Antivirus package is very effective at detaching malware from your device, whether it’s a PC or mobile. Customers also praise its iOS and Android apps. You can add extra security by using Windows Hello or a finger print sensor, setting up different devices for authentication at the door of your home network and encrypting data and files on your device.

All the features we tested worked. The quick scans only took eight minutes to check for intrusions into areas where viruses are known to infect like registry files or system files. The full scans we ran took a bit longer, however they were less than average for 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 options to reach customer support. Phone or email is not accessible.
