Customer Ratings & Reviews

OK, product like this McAfee+ Advanced Family ID Theft Coverage & Internet Security Software are always difficult to review. The fact that they are, by design to be most effective after saomething really bad happens, like identity theft. Hopefully I'll never have to discover the effecacy. That said, I'll address "so for" user experience and what the product should do: The Good: * Personal information protection on multiple devices for the entire family * 24/7/365 data monitoring * Up to $1-million in lost assets and expenses * Monitor of personal information that may be in "stale" accounts Some bonuses (may be more or less useful for each individual): * Parental controls * Included VPN As mentioned, these items are not for everyone. I will not be using them bacuase I alread have a trusted VPN, and my kids are of age and have their online life to a point where they don't need monitoring. But for some, these may be useful tools. The bad: * During install, there were several "upsells" * On initial use, again several upsells This really irritates me. I have always been the type of person who I don't mind buying, but I HATE being sold to. I have told car dealers my entire life that exact same thing. I know what I want, I know what I don't. Don't try to sell me more. Instead, If you want me to have a positive, offer these as bonuses. Instead, that upsell is what led to 3 stars. End of the day, I amd confident this will be a usefull product, albeit with some unnecassary (at least for me) bloat. Hopefully I'll never need to know.

There are so many potential threats for everyone who accesses websites, ranging from simple web browsing to every day email access. Scammers are everywhere and protection for your personal computers to personal devices to cell phones is a must. A program like McAfee Advanced family was designed to give you complete protection for everything you use to access the web. It provides protection against viruses as well as those annoying web trackers. It took approximately 45 monitors to scan my laptop with a 1 terabyte drive with about 50% of it utilized with common productivity applications. I used the fast scanning option, but be aware that this is very resource intensive and used a lot of my system resources including battery life. There are options to use less resources. I was taken back by how many tracking resources this scan cleaned up. I was free from virus issues, but I had a considerable number of web tracking issues. This handled it easily and was able to easily clean up my problems. I am also using the product to protect my iPhone. It’s so handy having one product to handle my mobile monitoring as well. One feature that really has my interest is the password manager add on for my web browser. I have so many passwords and this feature will be great to have. This is a great application for handling all of your computing platforms

When it comes to computer and device virus protection/overall protection, I have tried all the most common options available over the years. McAfee has always been a reliable brand and this McAfee+ Advanced has been the most impressive and reliable option I've used yet. The setup process for this protection on my devices was very easy and simple to follow. It did have me delete another brand name protection that had been already on my device before completing the install so keep that in mind if you have any other subscriptions. May want to let that subscription run it's full amount of time before starting a new one. One the program was installed it was very user friendly and easy to see the status of everything. I was pleasantly surprised to see VPN protection was included and very easy to turn on and off. This is the first time using a VPN on a personal device and not a work device and I'm honestly disappointed to say it took this long. I definitely won't be going back now. The McAfee program did not seem to bog down my devices speed or affect my browser use with annoying pop-ups. I look forward to using this McAfee subscription on all my devices because so far so good and I am impressed with the coverage it provides.
