Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

We have used Mcafee for years and we recommend it!

Good virus program definitly should buy. Worth the money.

Awesome.. and it’s so easy to put the code.. And activate

I used this for my family and trustworthiness 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.

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.

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.

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.

This product solves one of the greatest problems of internet security app: the limit being set to install the app to specific number of devices. Yes, you can install this app to as many devices you want. And that fact alone is awesome. I got so many devices in my family: kids’ laptops, tablets, Desktop PC, phones, etc. even across different platform including android and Mac and this app allows me to install it to every single one of them without extra cost. I like the approach of the app to educate user on how to improve their personal safety on the net. There’s a scoring system, which will improve as you use the app more frequently and make use of the features. Aside of the typical antivirus protection, the app gives you VPN, identity monitor and protection, as well as access to parental control tool and password management app. That’s a lot of features to offer. In particular, the VPN gives you many location options. When connected to the recommended server, the VPN gives you high speed connection and fairly low lag performance so that’s good. The app feels pretty light as I don’t see noticeable impact to my device’s performance. Granted that the PC app doesn’t give you PC utility features such as registry clean-ups but these days to be honest Windows is good enough to run efficiently without truly needing such feature. Overall, this is a very cost-effective app that offers you great set of features.

I am quite impressed by this security suite. We all know McAfee’s reputation as a leader in pc security and they aren’t letting anyone down here. Installation and setup were a breeze. After signing up, you can send emails and texts to all of your family members with links so that they may install on their devices. After a quick and easy installation, it’s time to get the system working for you! You get to select how many or how few aspects of your life the system monitors. Plug in anything from your name, address, email, birthdate, social security number, credit cards, drivers license, etc. The system searches everything, including the dark web identifying any breaches where your information has been exposed or sold. It showed me any “identity search” websites that had my information for sale, and provided links and instructions on how to have your information not subject to sale. They also advise that you have to do it 2x per year or they can put it back up. I am very impressed by McAfee. My wife and I feel much more secure now and it is relieving to know that this security suite is actively searching and will alert my when my information has been exposed. Easy 5 stars.

i enjoy using McAfee. My job gives out a free version, so I trust using McAfee anti-virus. Scanning, I like that it lets you know what percent it is at. This has a lot of options with it as well, like secure VPN, a protection score and a lot more. was easy to install and get using. You can use it on multiple devices, and multiple types of devices like mobile, Pc and Mac. So far, I have installed on my main PC, as well as my iPhone and no issues. I even have other anti-viruses and in the past, I have had issues installing new anti-viruses as I would always get a conflict and it would tell me I need to uninstall my other virus protections. Not this time. That was something I was afraid would happen and I am glad I did not run into that this time. I also like that this is for unlimited devices and not capped at 5 or 10. I have a few computers/laptops as well as other mobile devices. So, I am glad I don't have to pick and choose what device I want protected. Overall satisfied with this anti-virus. I prefer to use a couple and McAfee has always been one of them.

McAfee premium + family, it did take a few minutes to get it to download and set up for some reason it kept taking me in circles to create an account and set up with my code I was provided, but once it was done it was pretty easy from there has you set up other personal information to check the dark web for security breaches, name search and how to remove your information it includes the links to those sites which is helpful. You can even enter you drivers license information to check for usage. It sets up VPN for 24/7 monitoring, has child parental control so you can keep an eye on them. I set up two authentication to access account. It was easy to add my other devices, phones, iPads, laptops it comes with unlimited devices which I really needed being that we have so many devices to have on the account. It took me over 20 mins to opt out from websites selling my information it was scary to know I was being searched and information address past and present, phone numbers all so easily available to people. I highly recommend McAfee premium + family if you have multiple devices. So far highly pleased with the product.

When it comes to virus protection for your PCs you really can’t over do it. Windows 11 has some pretty great native antivirus and malware detection but stacking McAfee Plus with it does provide some good peace of mind. Installation is very easy. Activation is by 25 digit activation code; very familiar to a paid app or operation system installation. Once installed, McAfee Plus scans your computer for threats and, after a while, displays a logged report for your review. I really like the unobtrusive way the McAfee Plus antivirus software monitors silently in the background. My past experiences with various antivirus programs, including the older releases of McAfee, were very negative as the programs often used more CPU resources than the PC could supply and thus slowed my computers down significantly. I’m happy to report that I have not noticed any slowdown whatsoever after the installation of McAfee Plus. It’s also worth noting that it’s a lot easier to disable when you don’t require protection.

I think everyone knows the major companies offering malware prevention & removal tools with McAfee being one of the top 3 names you’d get if you asked everyone to name you 3 or 4 or 5 different antivirus/antimalware/internet security solutions. McAfee has been in the AV game for a long time so it absolutely is a brand I can trust. They aren’t going to go out of business tomorrow with me getting 0 updates for my antimalware solution. So, prior to acquiring this McAfee product I spent the better part of a month trying to clean all the malware from every single system in our home. My significant other & I were the targets of targeted spearphishing campaigns which were brought about by a member of our home downloading cheats for offline gameplay resulting in them acquiring malware which allowed the attackers to see what type of work my SO & I do. Being in high level leadership we were prime targets as soon as they spotted us after gaining entry into our home via this softened security point. Prior to this I had not given much thought in regards to segmenting our network…but that has changed & is something I sk be doing very soon. I’m still trying to sort all this mess out. Again, the malware plus our being targeted & attacked was prior to acquiring McAfee but I do make a suggestion due to that attack. Now on to the review. Let me offer two suggestions (and I’ll be reaching out fo McAfee to make the same suggestions): 1) put some sort of hash (such as md5) on your downloads, 2) allow for easy navigation to finding the executable download for your products WITHOUT having to log in. Why on both? First one is because part of the attack was a MITM attack where the downloads were either outright denied if AV related or even injected with malicious code or redirected elsewhere to grab the malicious code infused exe file. So knowing the hash would mean I cold spot this easier if I had an active malware infection that was doing a MITM type attack. Second one is because I did not want to login to anything until I knew I was malware free but yet i couldn’t download the software without logging in. i have a payment method stored in my McAfee account, I wouldn’t want to wake up and find I had bought 10 copies of a McAfee product while I was asleep due to this bad actor logging on & purchasing some since they had a keylogger on the machines. Both of these not being easily viewable or done is a security oversight on McAfee’s part & I hope they correct it. As for the installation & the daily use it was a breeze. I did not experience any major performance impact on any of our systems that I installed this on & I have enjoyed it thus far. It is straight forward, not complicated & easy to use. My non-techie SO has stated how easy it is to use, that it doesn’t bombard you with notifications & because of that she knows when it does notify us it is something important. This is a huge plus in my book because I don’t know about you but I get notification fatigue due to the bombardment of notifications from my phone. So thank you McAfee for not contributing to this. All-in-all we are happy with the McAfee solution & only due to my having had an active malware issue prior to acquiring McAfee+ Premium that I even thought about the only 2 negatives I mentioned (no file hash easily found & not being able to download unless logged in). I’ll end with also saying that both could be there/easily done and I just overlooked it, that is entirely possible and if so then I definitely stand corrected. If you need antimalware for the whole family then definitely give McAfee+ Premium Family a try! You won’t be disappointed!
