Macfee Total Protection Is The All-inOne For Personal and Business Use

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I love this product because everything is in one package. It include antivirus, antispyware, and anti-malware, and Dark Web protection. Set up to schedule automated virus scans is easy, and I can adjust the settings to fit my needs. I most of all like the web protection feature that lets you know if you're about to log onto a safe website or not.

Cons:

Though it's a little pricey, it's worth it. The only thing I don't like is the Web Boost. While I'm looing at videos online. it keeps pauses them while I'm in the middle of watching them. I thought the purpose of the Web Boost was to speed up the Internet experience, not slow it down while surfing.

McAfee- An antivirus that gets your job done

3.0 last month New

Comments: I had gotten this application with my laptop purchase and so far I'm happy with the way that it has been working. It scans every 15-60 mins , keeps tabs on everything and i can access all that information easily

Pros:

It makes sure that it scans every little piece of application or data that you put into your pc/laptop and makes sure it is virus free

Cons:

Sometimes it can be quite annoying with their ability to stop installation of any application. Even though the file is downloaded from official safe stores , it flags them as not safe

Good Security for PC as well as Phone or Tabs!

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: The automatic scans and total protection from virus and malware attack. Great Services!

Pros:

It's firewall system. I have been using it for a long time in my PC and its working really well. It immediately warns about any malicious website and auto scans also detect any suspicious link on my system.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike but the price could be a bit much for personal use. Of course great thinhgs comes with some price. So if you could afford it you shoyld try using it. It'll be totally worth the price.

Good antivirus, but the pricing could be better

4.0 last week New

Pros:

It came built in for most of the common laptops, offering a good start with protection, also that trial shows how good it is in real time protection

Cons:

Competition can offer a better price-service aspect, also, if I want to uninstall it, is pretty difficult to turn Windows Defender back on

All-Around Security With Minors Flaws

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: In the last two years, my overall experience with McAfee Total Protection has been okay in general. This makes me feel secure using devices since they are covered against numerous online threats. Customer support has responded well whenever there was something I needed help with or had questions for them. I would suggest anyone looking for a trustworthy and all-encompassing security solution despite little grievances recommending McAfee Total Protection.

Pros:

One of the things that I appreciated the most about McAfee Total Protection is its all-encompassing suite of protective features. It offers solid defense against viruses, malware, and phishing attempts. Its user interface is user-friendly, so even non computer experts can figure it out easily. Besides, such regular updates keep its security up-to-date regarding recent threats.

Cons:

The main thing I did not like about McAfee Total Protection is that they experience slowdowns on some occasions during scans. Although the impact is not too bad; still, it can be felt when doing high demanding activities. Besides, sometimes this software runs heavy on computer resources, which could be a problem in regard to old or weak machines.

Mcafee Antivirus review

3.0 12 months ago

Comments: Overall. I like this software but if you aren’t going to pay for premium version. It’s best to get a different antivirus software that offers more for the free version.

Pros:

What I like most about this product is that it can help protect your electronic device if there is malware or virus on it. It has almost all features that other antivirus softwares have.

Cons:

What I least like about this product is that it has a free option available. So if you want more out of this product, you need to pay to access them. But the thing is that most antivirus softwares offer more for the free version then what McAfee is offering.

Customer Service Outstanding

4.0 last year

Comments: I was hacked and thought I was talking to Mcafee and I wasn't and it was terrible. I ended up aborting the call because the person was asking for more money and etc. etc. and I was becoming uncomfortable that something wasn't right. I hung up and call Staples (local computer store - they said bring in your machines) but I then though "this is crazy I've been with Mcafee for years....so I called customer service and they said there was no record of me talking to anyone at Mcafee.....and the two ladies from CS and from Tech helped me get things straightened out. Life savers they were...... terrific to deal with.

Pros:

the security of knowing....I'm protected.

Cons:

Its not cheap but you get what you pay for.

The "All-in-One For Personal and Business Use" is Macfee Total Protection.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I used it as my very first antivirus program. I received it as a promotion along with another item.

Pros:

I thought McAfee was excellent. I enjoy using the Internet, various websites, and programs. Through the usage of McAfee, I was able to recognize my level of security since every time a problem arises on my computer, it is made clear that it has been fixed or attended to.

Cons:

Even though it's a bit expensive, it's worthwhile. The Web Boost is the only thing I find objectionable. I'm watching videos online at the moment. While I'm watching them, it repeatedly pauses them. I mistakenly believed that the Web Boost's goal was to speed up browsing rather than slow it down.
