I received this McAfee Total Protection for my Apple iMac and other devices in my home (I have 5 total that this being used for this). It was a download purchase, not the disc I had used before. Came via our email. A tip I did not know, should you have a previous Mcafee installed on your computer, be sure to uninstall it before downloading the new one purchased. I am in my 50’s, and not computer savvy by any means. I eventually contacted Mcafee support as I was receiving msgs. from Mcafee that my download was going to expire. I found a very helpful representative @ Mcafee and he helped me so much and got me on track. So the help is there for you should you need it. This is a good product, we have used it for many years. Don’t let this McAfee+ Advanced Identity, Privacy, and Device Protection intimidate you, take control of your devices don't let them take over your identity and life !!

I was really excited about the McAfee + Advanced Internet Security (Unlimited Device) (1-Year Subscription) - Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS, Windows, Chrome [Digital] because I could use it on all my devices. I loved the idea of being better protected on my phone especially but liked the broad coverage I expected to get with this product. Covering all the bases! Setup was incredibly easy to get things up and running. It prompted me to complete a software upgrade that I had overlooked on my phone so I complete the update and set up my network for access. Everything seemed great...until I left the house - my network. Suddenly, I started having issues accessing internet when I wasn't at home on wifi. I initially thought it was a bug with the software upgrade it had suggested I complete. Of course, I forgot about it when I was home. I ended up sitting in a doctor's office for over an hour with a dead device because I wasn't on wifi. Finally it hit me. It was the McAfee software. Everything worked just fine after I uninstalled it. I was incredibly disappointed since I expected this product to work really well and be super intuitive. I'm hoping there's a setting or some step I need to take to ensure my device continues to work even off my home network, but I haven't had the time yet to explore other options. With this type of software, it really shouldn't take a lot of instructions or googling to figure out how to use it successfully on your phone. I like the brand, but I'm disappointed in the product and hopefully will be able to get it working successfully on my device. It worked fine on other devices that don't leave home which is to be expected. If you aren't using it on your cellphone, you should be golden. If you plan to take it off wifi, I'd suggest double-checking the details to ensure the product is capable and then investing the time to completely set that up to avoid surprises I experienced.

After installing on Windows 10, my PC experienced slow downs and lockups. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, but the lockups continued. As soon as I removed McAfee+ my PC returned to normal. The OS AV is disabled and I have no other Antivirus software installed. I've been in IT for over 20 years, so I know how to troubleshoot. I then installed McAfee+ on another PC running Windows 11. This was a fresh build. For the first two days all worked well. After that, the lockups a slow downs started again. Just like the previous PC, the OS AV is disabled. In between lockups on the second PC, I was able to do some sample testing and the results were very disappointing. Multiple ransomware samples were never detected. There were also several malware misses as well. When trying to do any scan, the lockups would happen immediately. I have used McAfee before in past and never experienced issues like this. I'm hoping the bugs can be fixed with future updates, but as for now, I cannot use the product on any working PC that I own.
