    McAfee has a great reputation for security. I view my notices every week it give a sense of peace of mind knowing what’s going on with my online activity. Notices about unusual activities by who and when helps immensely.

    Of all the options I've had to protect my devices, this protection is undoubtedly the best. I could improve only in the configuration, since it has some extra steps that can be simplified, but in general very good article.

    This product alerts me before I get to questionable sites. Easy to use. The vpn can be a pain as I have to cut it off daily at some point depending on what site I'm trying to log into. But it does automatically reconnect. I wouldn't try surfing without it.

    McAfee works so well protecting my devices that I renew annually. So easy to install and it does all of the work after that. The product runs when your device is off s well as when you have it on. If it finds anything or has suggestions, it will notify you.

    Nice app, doesn't slow down the laptop. The big limitation is the limited VPN. Browsing feels secure with Internet security protection. Overall good anti-virus.

    a better virus product I feel than Norton . I experienced too many configurations with Norton along with incessant pop up promos to buy additional apps with Norton and I am not seeing that with McAfee.
