    Comprehensive Identity theft protection suite

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    McAfee + Advanced internet security is a 1 year subscription to their new identity theft protection suite. The program supports Windows, Mac OS, Chromebook, IOS and Android. There is no smartphone app at this time but the web interface is available on all devices. The setup begins with McAfee asking for your personal information. The interface is clunky, you only enter your email at first but later you can add your Social Security number, Phone numbers, Passport number, Driver’s license number, Tax ID numbers, Date of birth, Health IDs, Credit cards and Bank accounts. It can take a while if you have a lot of accounts. After all the data entry you will have a nice Dash board that lays out what is left to do and the services that are active. I do feel this could be better organized with a better flow. You can then use each of the programs features to look for identity theft issues. This could be a little more automated with a guided flow. After setup you will get a score on the dashboard indicating your relative safety as you take the actions indicated your score will increase. This gives you an idea of how safe you are but is really not necessary a simple bar gauge would suffice. The identity protection module will scan for data breaches on the dark web if a site breach is involved it will allow you to go to the site with a click of a button to change your password, I found some of the sites no longer exist though, these could be weeded out by McAfee. They also warn of lists of breaches that include your info all you can do is note these then archive them. The personal data cleanup feature requires you to reenter all of your accounts again! I feel this could be improved as entry takes some time and effort and asking you to enter it multiple times in the same program is not what I expect. McAfee then scans data broker sites for your info, it will then automatically remove it. On the first scan it requests removal that day, repeat scans are done every 3 months. With McAfee Advanced, you have expert identity theft support specialist ready to help with any identity theft. It is very reassuring to have someone walk you through the required steps to keep you safe and start your identity restoration. If you lose your wallet they can help you replace your cards and ID’s. McAfee covers you with up to 1 million dollars of identity theft insurance that reimburse you for stolen funds, lost wages, and legal fees. The subscription also includes McAfee antivirus and McAfee Total Protection for unlimited devices. This protects your computer from malware and viruses that steal your information right from your computer and protect you while browsing the web. McAfee also includes a VPN for up to 5 devices. All of your online activity is encrypted and your ip address hidden offering even more protection. A password manager is also included to protect those valuable passwords avoiding storing them in your browser which is not as secure. To fully delete sensitive files McAfee’s includes a digital file shredder so they can not be easily recovered by hackers or unauthorized individuals. Overall McAfee + Advanced Internet security is a good package to keep you safe from identity theft and help you recover from it if it occurs.

    The McAfee+ Advanced Identity is such a simple product to install, yet provides so much value and peace of mind. Visit the website, download the product/enter your product key, and in just a few clicks you're on your way to safety. The Advance version includes credit bureau monitoring and a monthly credit report/score. Simply enter your email address and a quick scan lets you know if there's any suspicious activity, or identity exposure. Another scan using your Social Security Number (securely, of course) lets you know if there's any fraudulent activity to report. The product also includes five licenses for your very own Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN encrypts your identity and allows you to browse securely. This keeps your browser history private, like it should be. Other valuable features include a password manager, identity monitoring, identity theft coverage, and so much more - at a bargain price! The McAfee software runs quietly in the background and doesn't seem to take up too much hard drive space. It doesn't "take over" like some of the other programs out there. Overall, this is a great product and I would recommend it!

    Unobtrusive and easy to set up; unlimited devices

    Registration was easy, just paste in the key code & provide an email address. It will prompt you to enter a credit card number to enable auto-renewal, but there is a small link underneath the entry fields that will allow you to skip. They make it easy to overlook, but at least they provide an option for those of us that don’t care to sign up for auto-renewal right away. Installation was simple & took about 5 minutes. At that point, you can pretty much leave things alone if you’d like. It will take you to a landing page where you can enable things like Personal Data Cleanup, Secure VPN, and ID Protection. Antivirus and Tracker Remover features are enabled by default. First manual virus scan took about 15 minutes. It does ask if you want to send any suspicious files to McAfee, but you have to opt IN to that feature, so it’s nice that they don’t assume you want to send them suspicious files. Subsequent scans have taken less than 5 minutes. The Personal Data Cleanup feature makes it easy to find out which data brokers have your personal information available online. Supposedly, McAfee will automatically take the necessary steps to have those profiles removed. It’s only been a few days, so I can’t verify how successful that feature is. It does include a VPN feature, but every resource I could find indicates that McAfee VPN is NOT a no-logging service, so I can’t recommend this particular feature. For the most part, McAfee seems pretty solid. UI is easy to understand & navigate. The product pretty much just sits quietly in the background, which is what I like it to do. I don’t want to be bombarded with notifications about upgrading, or setting up this feature, or whatever. And another plus is that you can install it on unlimited devices, cuz who only has one device these days??
