    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.

    Worth it to me. The only annoying and thing I hate about Mcafee is the pop ups letting me know I have bad registrys, junk or I restarted my PC. The first two are not accurate, but being able to use the VPN and Shred feature is nice. Other brands I've tried slowed me down as well as not having the options I mentioned free.

    Works well with google 9 cell phone , It scans for antivirus , identity monitoring, protection score and scam detector. Will let you know you know if personal information is listed and where is is located. There is also a text scam detector setting to make sure i don't get text scam messages.

    Solid virus protection, annoying pop-ups

    Provides solild virus protection. I had BitDefender for a few years, and was a fan but their renewal cost was too high for me, so opted for a year of McAfee. So far, it seems about the same as my previous virus protection, but I do get some annoying pop-ups for additional paid services from McAfee every now and then and it resets my Chrome browser's default search engine from Google to Yahoo every now and then. I've been able to fix those issues, but they are minor inconvenices, hence the four stars.

    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.

    Should include a System Optimizer

    Works ok. PC World staff, Tom's Guide and others debate on getting PC Optimizer App, McAfee has promoted an add on with this product for an additional amount of money, so its an unknown performer to clean up and optimize disc. MacIntosh OS used to have an App called Spring Cleaning cleans up junk files and other stuff. Total Protection should included it in the entire software, add-ons are just another subscription that has to be renewed. I don't like McAfee's renewal system that's the only downside.

    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.
