Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has been some time since I have used McAfee software. To be honest, it often comes pre-installed on a new Windows laptop and I just delete it - this is the first time I have ever really used the McAfee+ and all of the features. I have to say, the first genuine moment of surprise is this is unlimited devices. In a world where most families now have a laptop+phone+tablet, the ability to install this without restrictions across a whole family is a bonus. Although FYI, the password manager is capped at 5 users (not devices, users). Setup was easy, download and install (Windows/Mac) or there's a QR code that takes you to the relevant app store on your mobile device. I'm using this on Windows, macOS and iOS devices. The software footprint and background process impact seems very minimal (no noticeable lag or device slowdown). You are required to create an account to use the software, pro tip if you have an existing McAfee ID Theft monitoring then the same username/password can be used for the software. I like how McAfee gives you a credit score like number on how "safe" you are with your data protection and device security. That said, there are a few little gaps in features where it would be great if McAfee automated the process. One is "data exposed" where McAfee identifies where data brokers may be selling your data, but it only shows you where, it doesn't automate removal without (it seems) requiring an additional fee. So removal is all manual and the directions are generic. The other is VPN. It works (great!) and seems fast (awesome!) but there's no details of what country or where the VPN is connecting - which would be nice just to know. McAfee say it doesn't share or sell your data (nice) but absent knowing what country it's running through, hard to know if they might be subject to some weird local law. It also means the VPN is not a solution if you're looking to bypass geoblocking. Overall, I'm very happy with McAfee+, it's better than expected, easy to use, and user friendly enough that I am happy to have my whole family using it.

Mcafee is one top brands in security for all your office and home needs.

Easy way to protect your family’s devices with one subscription

This is fantastic for family device protection as all devices will be covered.

It's ok the Parental controls don't work the best!

Have been using McAfee for years. Like the family coverage on multiple platforms.

We have used Mcafee for years and we recommend it!

Good virus program definitly should buy. Worth the money.

I used this for my family and trustworthiness software

2 months before my subscription was up I was getting pop ups to renew. It was hard to get to get rid of the pop ups. This went on for a while before I deleted Mc Afee and installed another software.

Simple to install. Perfect for multiple devices. Great price

The McAfee+ Premium Family offers several great features at a very affordable price, and covers unlimited devices which is great if you have a house full of smart phones, tablets, Macs and PCs like we do. I installed the software on an iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, and Desktop PC. (so far). The IOS/iPadOS and PC installations were seamless. The PC installation was almost automatic. The IOS/iPadOS installations required enabling VPN under settings, but that action was prompted when first opening the App. The Mac installation was a little more cumbersome, requiring setting permissions for four(I think) files in System Preferences, but still wouldn't be a problem for the average user. It's nice having virus protection, and that has become something we just all know we need. So far it seems quite effective in preventing all types of malicious software. I've only been using it for a few weeks, so time will tell. My home network is protected by a relatively robust hardware firewall, but when travelling with my MacBook, I've had no issues on public WiFi. Two features I really love in this package are the included VPN, and the Identity Monitoring. The VPN allows you to set your virtual location to several geographic possibilities, or to simply use whichever server is fastest, preventing hackers from identifying your location, and the identity monitoring searches the web for your personal information, and then provides instructions for removing yourself from online databases. I'm about half done with removing the information McAfee discovered by just taking care of one website every few days. Overall, I feel that this software provides excellent features for the price. Especially with protection for unlimited devices within one's family. The two things

I've been testing the McAfee + Premium Family unlimited devices subscription for a few days. Overall, it is a great antivirus suite that includes a VPN, and protection not only for my devices but also my family's devices. This is excellent because the cost of single device licenses can add up quickly. Another thing I like about this subscription is that it also covers multiple operating systems. So, I can also use it on my android phone and computers. Installation of the McAfee suite was fairly simple. I went to the website that was delivered with the subscription code. Entered the provided license key, registered for an account, and began installing it on all my devices. On both my PC and phone, the McAfee security suite was not intrusive and did not take up a lot of resources. The only thing I didn't like was the copious number of one-time passcodes it sent me while trying to view data breach alerts associated with my email address. With all that said there is a lot of value in this subscription and the whole household will thank you when they do not need to get a subscription of their own. I highly recommend it.

I like the McAfee plus premium family since not only do I have business devices I also have personal devices as well as my entire family and I want to keep everything protected. Mcafee offers unlimited devices one year subscription and that is just great. With premium I can see who is selling my data and it does give you direction on how to remove it. I like that I can have parental control over other devices. Either at home or In other places I know my devices are protected, when the kids are at a public WiFi connection I want to make sure the information and the devices are protected and they are with McAfee. It was easy to download and install and it lets you know where in the process the scanning is as well as the results. It also lets you know potential threats as well as high risk too. I really like that it is compatible with Pc, Mac as well as mobile devices including kids tablets. Overall it is great software to keep all the family devices protected while also protecting our privacy.

absolute garbage. third rate support. cannot add new PCs. updated my personal settings and whole account got erased. now i think this subscription is lost.

The McAfee+ Premium program is working great so far on all 4 of my Daughters lap tops for school plus my phone. Being I have 4 daughters and 3 of 4 are gamers like most kids today, I wanted a software that can protect them all around for school and gaming plus just surfing the web. I have used other free software and it works decent but McAfee+ comes in strong and cleans up the leftovers from the others. I ran the new McAfee+ on all their laptops and all came back with old issues the other software I used missed including many trojan and tracking issues. Knowing we are still finding issues on the laptops is scary as the other software I used was marketed as free for residential with the strength of a corporate account. What this shows me is their either lying to use our laptops for Beta growth into the main program or their corporate customers are getting hit with a lot of left over issues. I have to bring up the VPN as well, and it is decent for what my kids need when not gaming. For normal school and web use, I am making them run the VPN and they said it is fine, but as soon as they try to game with a competitive style FPS, they are losing because their ping is usually in the 110 range with the VPN, without it is under 30 ping every time. So, I have to say, the McAfee+ VPN is definitely not gamer friendly. I did run the Identity Cleanup for all my kids, obviously there was no issues there. I did setup their laptops with a password manager within McAfee+, this is going to save me tons of headaches in itself, so far, it works and works great. And to talk about the title, the program uses very small amount of space compared to most others and runs cleanly in the background rarely seeing over 1% CPU usage unless running an in-depth scan. I am super happy with the McAfee+ Premium program, I will most likely stay with McAfee after this experience with them.

I'm usually not impressed with most of these protection services as they seem to be tedious, somewhat intrusive, and just a hassle to deal with...especially when the coverage is about to end. So normally when McAfee comes with a PC I don't use it. This was the first time in a long time that I went through the process and really tried things out. I do like that this lets you use it on unlimited devices considering the massive number of eligible devices I have in my household, both Windows based and iOS. I think we have a couple of Chrome devices also but haven't added those yet. I installed on a Windows laptop and desktop, a MacBook Pro, and 4 iOS phones so far. Installation was fairly simple on all platforms. I was able to remember an old McAfee account that I had so I didn't have to go through the process of creating an account (a necessary evil with just about everything now). I will say that I noticed a little slowdown on my Windows devices but honestly, that seems to be the norm when adding anything from my experience so I can't say this is a deal breaking negative with McAfee. My iOS devices showed no slowdown or issues. The features offered by McAfee appear to be on par with another brand that I recently tried but McAfee gets a little bit of an edge with the ability to use on unlimited devices versus capping at 3 devices. Where the other brand edges out McAfee is in the way that their identity monitoring feature works. The McAfee one is helpful but more on the generic side where it gives you just enough info to tell you that certain things may be at risk but doesn't offer much in assistance with trying to correct other than some very general tips. This is something I likely wouldn't have noticed if I had not tried one that was a bit more in depth and helpful so for a lot of users this won't be a negative. This will also be appealing for those that have the need for unlimited VPN access. Time will only tell if I find this software beneficial enough to renew the subscription but it's already clear that if you want access to the full abilities McAfee offers you need to be prepared to pay a bit more than this subscription charges. For a large majority of users though I think this will be sufficient and in some ways more than adequate enough to fit their needs.

There is a lot to this suite of protection. Maybe too much. Trying to find things in the app can be cumbersome and not necessarily where you would think to look. Navigating the app alone is cumbersome. Why they have the ADD button at the bottom of the firewall rules perplexes me. I have quite a few apps I need to open ports for in my firewall, scrolling to the bottom every time makes it easier to just turn off the firewall, which goes against the idea of protection. There is a lot of fluff that you can do or live without. The credit protection score...oops ID Protection score is a clunky way of making people feel safe. A high score may cause a false sense of security. The important thing, it does protect against viruses and malware. Although it has not popped up with any warnings for me yet. The included VPN is great for when you are working on anything that may require additional safety measures. Logging into banking, stock, etc profiles. Stuff you want to keep as secure as possible. So far I have not seen the classic virus protection slow down, even when running a full scan. This is good. But my machine is a bit on the performance side. The family install is quite nice. I have it running on my laptops and desktop. Also have it installed on my kids machines and my wife's machine. No one has complained about it slowing them down. The software appears to be doing what it is intended to do. I will feel better when it throws up a red flag on something. One other annoyance is the browser plug-in. It seems to be activating itself randomly. Drives me nuts getting Yahoo search results when I actually prefer duck duck or Googles own search. Outside of navigation and finding settings in the app. I really have not found anything to say "avoid this software". I know that does not sound like a glowing endorsement, but the last thing you want is you antivirus acting like a virus and spamming you to buy this or that. The fact that you almost forget it is there is a glowing endorsement. The design/developers need to rethink the layout. That cost this review 1 star by itself. Nothing makes me sadder than a bad design for a good product.
