Fantastic product. Keeps me safe from the bad sites.

It’s good. .

I purchased this to serve two iPhones, 2 PCs and and IPad. It didn’t load for the iPad after constantly trying. Last time I deal with McAfee.

The McAfee+ Premium Individual suite is something that is needed in today's digital information world. Getting everything setup is simple. You do have to create an account with McAfee first, select some preferences, and then download the software to your devices. I have used it with iOS, Mac OS, Windows, and Android phones & tablets. With each device I tested the software on it performed great. My main use is the VPN. At first I thought that I couldn't change the country, but I found out that I could in the menu. Having the security is a peace of mind feeling. I can use all of my devices without the worry of someone getting my information. It covers everything. Your email accounts, phone numbers, passwords, everything! You cannot g wrong if you choose to purchase the McAfee+ Premium Individual suite. It is a nice touch that it can be used on unlimited devices. I know of some that give you a limit, which is not helpful if you have a family, or yourself use a ton of devices. I can definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a working suite of Security.

average anti virus. not the best not the greatest just average.

It’s an ok product. Clashes with some apps on an iMac

My exposure in the past to McAfee has mostly been related to the trial software installed on new PCs, often I would uninstall after the free trial was over and be on my way to my preferred PC Security Protection suite. In some cases, leaving the Windows default product (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall) to do their thing, which is providing strong protection (albeit simplistic) on my PC usually without the performance hit other virus and firewall products have. Mmany Protection suites are now offering Android and iOS protection products and a built in VPN subscription. McAfee+ Premium individual follows the same path. Windows 10: First, I uninstalled my existing protection product from my Windows 10 PC, usually virus and malware protection products do not like to coexist and may essentially “fight” each other. So, after the uninstall Windows defaulted to Windows Defender and Firewall, pretty basic and after a few reboots I was back with basic protection. Next, I installed McAfee the installation program which was a bit cartoony but I let it do its thing and then updated the virus definitions and then I initiated a full scan of my system. McAfee has a simple “home” screen interface with Antivirus, Secure VPN and then an option to “know your protection score” which goes to McAfee Protection center which opens in your browser, fine but I really prefer that the product stands on its own without accessing a browser. In any case this is where you realize the cartoonish look isn’t just the setup program, it is their product webpage interface and with items that feel a game related to increasing your score. Well fine, I get the interface and its appeal, is it my cup of tea ? not really. But after all as long the product protects my device, then fine – I’ll play your game. Here where it gets a bit interesting, I benchmarked my PCs time to login screen from a power up, did this for my old protection product, then Windows Defender, then McAfee. After timing all three McAfee surprisingly came up way ahead of my old protection product or Windows Defender, or so I thought. I tried to open up the McAfee shield, nothing happened, well after a reboot it appears McAfee was having some type of conflict with Windows Defender, I reinstalled it and got it to work. Windows 8.1: No issues here, installation went smooth, no issues like on my Windows 10 PC. Antivirus seemed to work well, but I did seem to dive into the interface a bit to find a Full Scan option. I like right clicking on the task bar icon and selecting what I wanted to do better than using the full interface. Android: Installed the protection app on my Galaxy Z Fold4, again the cartoonish and game like “Protection Score” which counted up my points like a pinball machine or winnings on a slot machine was amusing. VPN app worked well as it did on my PC. iOS: did not install, most of the time Apple constrains what most of these type of programs can do within the operating system. Mac: do not have one. Other features: Personal Data Cleanup/ID protection – again another function which opens a browser and wants you to login to your McAfee account you setup on install. Helpful, if you feel comfortable providing the information to be monitored. With all the security breaches and hacks out there, I am a bit wary of providing yet another company with all my info such as all my email address, phone numbers, Social Security number, passports, driver licenses, tax id, date of birth, health ID, user names, credit cards and last but not least bank accounts. But it did show where my email addresses (used as accounts elsewhere) have been breached and information about what was breached. Secure VPN: Seemed to work well, without much of a throughput hit, connecting was quick and with the PC client seemed to not need your location to provide the optimal regional connection, mobile client wanted location permissions, This part of the service appears to be a keeper and can be used without the other features if needed. Tracker Remover: Cleans up cookies, browser cache and history. Also looks at system files including Windows History, Active X controls and Problem Report files. Cleans up temporary files as well as emptying the Recycle Bin. What is my overall opinion ? Not a fan of the cartoonish interface, they do make the functionality of the suite of products pretty seamless and keep most of the real in-depth controls and settings hidden beneath the interface. Those controls are there if you need to change them, for example firewall controls/ports. I was amazed at the number of McAfee processes/programs were part of the “default settings” for the firewall. Also was a bit annoyed by the number of popups from the program itself, although it seems on par with other protection products, trying to upsell or have you use or buy additional services. Will be interested how annoying all this gets towards the end of my yearlong license. Pros: - Fast, did not seem to have much of a performance hit on my PC - VPN might be the value in this subscription, a lot of different countries to connect to, and a mobile app also. - Simple interface and actions for less technical people, a lot of don’t need to touch it. - A lot of items right clickable from the taskbar icon Cons: - Was broken after first reboot on my Windows 10 machine, had to reinstall to get services to run. - Cartoonish interface and a game like roll of the digits on your “Protection score” - Asks for a lot of personal information to monitor, not sure I am comfortable given on company all that information, although their monitoring service seems to identify the same breaches as my Apple Keychain app and other services of this type. - Is a bit chatty, I have seen others that are worse with popups, but this product is not exactly quiet with notifications.

Terrible--Locks you out of websites. The support was not helpful and caused me many problems

Had to uninstall it. I couldn't go on any of my bill sites to pay them. Couldn't play on my game sites either. Money waisted.

This is a bait type situation. Ive had to pay $100s more in payments to gain access to any usefulness.
