Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow. What a great product. I love that I can install this on all my devices at home. That includes 3 iPhones, 4iPads, and two gaming laptops. Installation on all devices was super easy. The first one I did was my iPhone. I was directed to the App Store to download McAfee. Then since I already had an account I just logged in and verified some information. The iPhone and iPad apps are a little different from the windows version. You get more granular control on the windows version. I actually liked the VPN prompts and set up on the iPhone and iPad. I liked knowing I was more secure when browsing the net especially on networks outside of my home. Although I found when using the vpn my connections seemed slower. So even though I “Trusted” my home network I ended up turning off VPN at home to speed up my net experience. But when not at home I use the VPN. Installation on the other devices was easy too. I would email myself a link and then open that link on those devices and I was prompted to install the proper package form McAfee. I have not noticed any additional slowness with the software running so that is good. I also like knowing. My kids and I are more protected when working online.

With technology everywhere around us…literally, it is important to keep your device and information safe. When it came time to protect myself, I knew I could trust McAfee services to keep my devices safe. The installation of the software is very simple. Follow the provided instructions, enter the key code, and you’re on your way to peace of mind and security. It’s packed with many options to keep your devices and identity safe. You choose what you want to activate for your monitoring and keep things safe. With their unlimited device protection, I can protect all of my devices, including my wife and child’s. Just the other day, I ran a scan on my son’s computer and found a Trojan virus that was immediately fixed through this scan. I’ve set up all of our devices up for automatic scans every other day. Just about anyone can run this McAfee software. There really isn’t much to it. You are guided through the installation process, fill a few pieces of information, and you are on your way to being safe in no time. I would highly recommend McAfee to anyone.

This antivirus does no work ,no have VPN included,the worst product I have seen in Best Buy

SETUP: Is very straightforward and similar. There is something that I was not a fan of though. Once you go to the website and put in your code and email address it will take you to the next page for “automatic renewal”. The way they dress it up is that you MUST do this to proceed forward with installation. But you don’t. As underneath the accept button in small font is “continue without additional benefits” which again makes you think you are missing out on something critical (when you aren’t). I find this to be shady business practice. But otherwise, I’ve been very satisfied with this software, and ironically, they are far less intrusive than the competition. LAYOUT: I find the software layout to be simple, straightforward, and easy to navigate. It also isn’t intrusive at all, and I don’t get pop ups all the time on additional features to download, use, or setup (unless if I go to their website). I haven’t noticed any type of significant hit on my system(s) either. It includes an unlimited VPN that is easy to navigate, and online privacy protection/monitoring of your information which is appreciated so you don’t have to buy that separately. I did put in my information for that, and it was able to find results which means it works and you aren’t limited to how many times you can search. However, there are a lot of pop-ups during this section along with having to verify every time which become cumbersome. It also comes up with a security score but I got frustrated with this as well. As I had a low score as many of the things listed aren’t things that you can actually complete. Such as installing their software on multiple devices. As despite me doing that, the recommendation never went away and my score didn’t increase. Many of them were like this. When something was found they also tell you what was found but with breaches there isn’t anything you can do other than change your password. While with other things you need to go in manually to remove them. Which is fine but not as simple. Additionally, you can download it on unlimited devices which I appreciated. As most other software’s limit you to 3 – 5. CONCLUSION: Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to like this software. But it’s done an excellent job at keeping me safe, monitoring information, using minimal system resources, and being easy to navigate. So outside of the “automatic renewal” shadiness I’m very satisfied. As the rest of the wording and things I came across were less intrusive and friendly over the competition that I’ve tried. I thought I was going to use my previous security but I’m going to keep this on my computers instead.

I had a older version of McAfee and wanted to upgrade. The older version worked well, never had any issues. This newer version has quite a bit more protection. Antivirus, Personal data cleanup, Tracker remover, ID protection and Secure VPN! It seems to be working well, However, It took a little while for my PC to adjust. My first unusual experience came with the VPN, Some accounts saw my pc as a new device or unrecognizable device so it must hide or change the IP address, not really sure. After going through the motions with these sites, banking etc...eventually had a better experience. One thing I liked, I was able to use my current McAfee account to add the new version. It was also very easy to send links to my other devices for install. So far I have installed onto 3 devices. I noticed that my new android phones' battery runs down rather quickly since installing McAfee. Seems to required a lot of power to run and you have to accept Always Run if you want the proper protection. I did use the personal data and tracker searches to find possible breaches and cleaned up as needed. The home page layout is straight forward and easy to navigate. For the most part I would definitely recommend due to the amount of protection and the effort they put into there software.

It is Very difficult to get to work with Microsoft.

I’m a simplistic person. The easier something is for me, the better. I’ve owned multiple anti-virus’ and started my career in the IT field in the early 2000’s. McAfee has been around the block and I can say after installing and letting the program run its course, I can vouch for its minimalistic user interface and great features like a secure VPN, Dark web monitoring, and file shredding your recycle bin contents so that they can’t be recovered. Anything with that level of protection gets a pass from me. I’ve scanned my files and the peace of mind that it gives you is priceless. With the advancement of scammers and keyloggers being loaded into your computer from a simple click. I can browse the internet without fear of your computer being taken over. Obviously this doesn’t protect those over the phone scammers from the call centers that ask for gift cards. This doesn’t protect against that, in that case you have to literally download a program where they actually walk you through it and then hold your computer ransom. It’s a tough world out there but it’s good to know that some companies have your back.

I loved this product and would recommend this wholeheartedly. I have used Mcafee in the past and made a comeback after over 10 years. In the meantime I have used Kaspersky and Norton and while they have worked well, this package gives the best bang for my buck by miles and just the sheer lightness of the software footprint for Mcafee compared to its competitors makes me a firm believer. Downloading and installation were a breeze and the quickness of the software presence is very much appreciated. It has unlimited devices and that is so huge at this price-point. Also, it comes with free VPN, which, I have been impressed with as well. It is just a complete package in a very small footprint. The download itself was only about 79 MB and the entire process has been made very seamless. On your homepage dashboard, you can get your security score and I tried running the scans and they ran seamlessly and efficiently and quite quickly as well. Gone are the days of that bloated Mcafee software run. This is a very good product and I am absolutely hooked. Well done, guys.

Truly an all-in-one package for protecting my info, computer and privacy. comes with all sorts of tools, system alerts, etc. like Dark Web Monitoring, Antivirus, Firewall, Spam blocker and my favorite PC boost. I have used CC cleaner in the past (almost daily) to clean up my PC to help it run more efficiently but prefer this product given its premium service. I have already started getting alerts regarding my email being leaked on the dark web. Includes time stamp and what was stolen so you are fully informed and can address appropriately. Interface is very easy to use and user friendly. Encrypts internet traffic, which helps keep passwords and any other data saved on sites / cookies safe. Unlimited devices - currently have it on my personal windows computer and mobile device. You can secure VPN from anywhere on any device and automatically turns on (if off) when accessing internet through public Wi-Fi. I have never had a personal VPN before so was nervous it would be hard to use. Easy to login/set up and I feel much safer surfing the internet with it on.

I love how much is included on the premium edition. The anti-virus services work well, and don't appear to suck too many resources off of a computer. Additionally, the firewall that it comes with is easy to understand and modify. The color coded links when surfing to demonstrate safety is a nice bonus. I have zero clue how to test the file shredder, but it appears to work in at least deleting files. I am unsure of any significant difference from this process over just deleting a file. 5 VPN licenses are a nice bonus as I can install it on a few of my devices and surf in private. Basic identity monitoring is included and seems to find things just fine. This basic version doesn't include any identity theft protection or related services. It does however include a nice password manager that also shows when passwords are compromised. Overall for a basic virus protection and device security software, it does a fantastic job and offers a ton of added features. I would encourage anyone without device protection to consider this.

Great choice... When I received the offer for this McAfee Premium Individual, I was happy to accept the offer. I have had McAfee products in the past and always found them to be solid. They have always delivered as promised... This is no different. Set up was simple. Go to the linked website, enter the code, download the software, open an account and boom, you are off and running. Interface is clean, intuitive and simple. Seems to run relatively lightly in the background. Some of the primary items it provides is antivirus and tracker removal. These are (I know, I am stating the obvious) quite important options to have in today's on-line environment. How well do they work? Well, so far so good. And based on McAfee's reputation, I expect them to be competitive to other popular offerings. Another nice option is the built in VPN. While I normally use Surfshark VPN, I decided to try this for a few days and it seems to work just as well. Nice offering. Some other items this has is ID Protection and Personal Data Cleanup. I have other products I use but if I am going to go on reputation alone, I would say that this product is certainly on par with it's cometitors. End of the day, this is a solid choice and I would recommend it.

I love having the McAfee Premium Individual device security because it keeps all of my information safe from being hacked. With this subscription you can use it on unlimited devices. This allowed me to use it on my tablet, laptop, and phone for security. I love how it monitors against identify theft and will let you know if anything is compromised. It provides unlimited online privacy from viris websites and click bait. This program is very easy to install on takes just a few minutes to get it all up and running. It runs automatic checks for you so that you dont have to remmeber to do it. So far it has found two issues for me to which i was easily notified and able to change my passwords and make myself better protected. Overall i thibk everyone should protect themselves with McAfee Premium because it protects your identity as well as your devices from the unknown. You install it and just let it do its thing, there is nothing more to it than just installing it. You gain protection in minutes.

Let me start by saying that I normally do not use security software on my devices. I generally rely on my the security software that is already included in most modern OSs. This product from McAfee seemed like a nice package since I also use VPNs daily, and seemed to be complete package for any of my devices. It does work on just about every device, but with a few minor issues I had. Installation is straightforward regardless the OS. You can download it online or from the App store of your deice. If you already setup your account then it's just a matter of logging in to your account and then enabling the necessary permissions for it to scan your system or setup a VPN. I use to stay away from security software because I felt it caused more slow down to the overall performance and it was not providing enough of a service to justify that sacrifice in performance. I can say that this software seems to be fairly lightweight and have not noticed it slowing down my system in any way. One thing that I used to get annoyed by is still here. I get random popups on my Windows laptop, and Android phone about scans, threats, and even ads to upgrade to different services. Each notification has been to tell me that there are no threats and everything is great. I think I'd rather just be told if there is something that needs my attention then to be notified a bunch of times that everything is fine. The ad popups are also annoying considering this is already a paid service. The security seems to robust and even will monitor the web for your information. The VPN is a nice touch, but limited. You aren't really able to choose what server to connect your VPN to. You are just left to hope that McAfee is choosing the closest, or fastest server for you. I use another VPN that gives you more customization to what server you can choose which I appreciate. This is a good security software. I could definitely without the constant notifications and ads. I have it running on my iPhone, iPad, android phone, and Windows laptop. I feel like the ads and issues with notifications are primarily on the android phone and Windows laptops. I would also like for the VPN to allow for more choices in connection options. If you need a basic VPN with out the customization and you are running on a iOS or iPadOS device then this might be great for you, or if you don't mind a barrage of notifications.

I came away from my first week with McAfee Premium+ pretty impressed with how far the premium products have come from the last time I have used McAfee about 5 years ago. Activation and installation were simple. I still had an account with McAfee and it automatically applied the license to my account when I signed in. It installed the WebAdvisor extension for Chrome for enhanced phishing protection when browsing. The software is pretty lightweight in terms of resources. While I haven't run any actual benchmarks, by seat of the pants feel I have been able to game without a noticeable drop in performance. While I said lightweight, I don't mean it was totally unobtrusive. Personally I hate software that pings you with notifications from minute you install it, and McAfee definitely wasn't distraction-free at the start. The notifications haven't been continuous, though. Also, it is weird to me that several features in the app are limited in advance of being discontinued. As a new user, it is discomforting to sign in for the first time and be presented with several features that aren't going to work much longer. Nothing that is advertised 'on the box' for the product, but still weird. One huge check in the positive column: on top of the lack of performance impact from keeping McAfee running gaming, I was also impressed with the speed of the VPN and how easy it was to use. The VPN automatically engages if you connect to an open wifi network, and speeds hit 300mbit down and 100mbit up. McAfee also takes care to note that they do not log or track traffic when using the VPN service, which impressed me quite a bit for a mainstream vendor. Finally, the fact that you can get all of the benefits of the product on every device you own is big plus to me. Being able to switch to a privacy VPN on my Android phone, gaming laptop, and Chromebook when traveling while still getting protection on my gaming desktop and home server is more than you typically see on individual protection products. Usually I have to get a "family" product to cover more than 3 devices. For that reason the high-ish price tag of the Premium Individual coverage doesn't seem that out of line for me.

So far, I've installed McAfee premium on 2 different devices to check out all the features. And this package is loaded - Antivirus with scheduled scans, ID protection, tracker remover, personal data cleanup, and, a secure vpn. All of this comes with - and this is the best part - unlimited devices. I'm in a home with 2 cell phones, laptops, desktops, tablets - both new & old. I have older devices that are used infrequently, so the ability to protect them without paying an additional fee is great. I'm also paying for a private VPN, so the fact that it's included in this package allows me to cancel an unnecessary subscription. The interfaces are clean, unobtrusive, and easy to understand. I do have one issue I've encountered so far, in the data security section where you can check when & where your personal data has been breached, I had a list of over 20 instances. Each time I clicked on an event, it would send a separate email with a code. I would have to go back & forth between email & web browser, every time I clicked off the web browser, the window to enter the code would disappear, and I'd have to request to send another code. Very cumbersome. One code should be sufficient to view all the events on the page. Even sending via text might be better than email. All in all though, as I previously stated, if you own multiple devices, this is a package you should look into.

The McAfee+ premium Subscription is an outstanding security suite for protecting your system and your data from attackers and malicious content. the subscription is super easy to setup and apply to your system of choice. The McAfee Premium supports all the major operating systems, including mobile devices so you know you are protected no matter which device you use. I have not experienced any issues with system performance after installation of the security agent. It runs seamlessly in the background and will alert you in the event of an adverse action on your system. I love the VPN service that ensures my network is traffic is secured while traversing the public internet. The throughput for VPN is great. I have gigabit service to my home, and while using the VPN I am still getting greater than 40Mbps which allows me to stream 4K content and game without disruption and latency. I highly recommend the McAfee Premium Subscription for your personal devices. It's great for home office use as well. The perfect security package that keeps you protected while your at home or on the go.

Unlimited device protection covering a broad range of services normally you would have to pay seperate for. VPN service, in depth email protection and internet protection. Includes a service that will check your emails you use to see if they have been hacked or sold onto the dark web. Then will also check to see if websites have or are using your information and gives the direct link to opt out of the sites selling your information and using it. Setup is fast and no noticable lag or slowdown of my PC with this running in the background like I've got with other internet security packages. You can't even tell it's working to protect you unless you it sends you a warning about a phishing site or a fishy website trying to get into your PC. I personally have never had such a in depth level of protection from a internet security packages that works and does not slow down your computer or device. Also to give you unlimited protection on multiple devices is top notch. McAfee knocked it out of the park with this level and quality of protection!

If you're on the market for a new antivirus program, look no further than McAfee+ Premium. This program has been super useful in helping me feel protected when I'm browsing online and downloading files. I enjoy the fact that you can download it on your mobile device and multiple PCs to ensure you receive the same protection everywhere. Two of my favorite features are the VPN and SafeSearch. Often when we're searching online, we don't know if the website we're going to visit is a scam or unsafe, and as someone that does a lot of online shopping, keeping my private information safe and my computer free from threats is important to me! McAfee's Safe Search feature helps bring me peace of mind by vetting all the websites for me when I search BEFORE I click on them, so I can skip anything that's a threat or can potentially expose my private information. Overall, McAfee+ provides everything you'd ever want in an antivirus software, and then some. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new antivirus program!

I was a little hesitant to download this and actually use it. I was very surprised at how good it actually is and how it can help you out. My information was stolen and sold so now I get spam/telemarketing calls all day. This program actually informs you of where your information could have been compromised so you can change your password or remove your information from that website. I found out my information is on many different sites without my consent. Mcafee will pull that information and let you know how to remove/opt out. I'm still going through and fixing those issues as it was on 90 different websites. I wish Mcafee had a way from the app to just remove my information without me having to manually do it. This is one downside, but the pros way out that con. The app also has a wifi scanner. The scanner will scan the wifi network making sure it is safe. If you use lots of public/free wifis this is really handy to make sure the network is safe. I did have to turn off the noticiations because to many came through. I work on a college campus and each time my phone would transfer connection points I would get a notification to scan, then the scan happened and another notification showed up. This got a little annoying as I run around campus all day. I still think its a great service and I would have left it on if it wasn't for that small issue. The app also has a VPN built into it. This is nice as its included with the app and very easy to setup and use. If you think that maybe your information was compromised online you should give this application a shot. I feel for the price you are getting real time information about your presence online. I will continue to use this app to clean up the issues and better secure my private information.

Works great and its pretty easy to use. You don't get too many pop ups asking you to upgrade to something that I've seen with other anti virus software. So far on windows 11, I did the install and I'm ready to go. Everything runs in the background without much interaction unless there is an issue. My one concern though is that while this is a download code, during the sign up I had to enter a credit card. So if you don't have a credit card, then its not worth buying, as you won't be able to use the product. Besides that, everything else works good. And on top of the windows app, you get the phone app too which includes a VPN that's great to use when you're on public WiFi. The app and software is easy to use, and keeps getting updated in the background. The website is also easy to use for added features of privacy review there. If you're looking for a anti virus, I would recommend this as a good option as long as you have a credit card you'll enter after buying the code or you won't be able to use it.
