McAfee antivirus offers advanced security options and, according to independent tests, repels the vast majority of cyber threats.

Lets dig deeper in our McAfee review to reveal why this product is being used by millions of clients around the world.

Why McAfee McAfee has been around since 1987, and as the result of a partnership with numerous well-established IT companies, it started providing reliable and efficient open-source software that leverages high-end technologies.

From 2014 to 2017, McAfee was owned by Intel Corporation, and was renamed as Intel security.

McAfee specializes in digital security software for PC, servers and mobile devices.

McAfee software is praised for simplicity of navigation and flexibility, and antivirus solutions are not an exception.

Read our McAfee Antivirus review to learn what the software has to offer, and which features turn it into one of the industry leaders.

Best For Average users without much technical knowledge; Browsing and playing games on PC; Basic protection of mobile devices.

Pros Cons While testing McAfee antivirus software, we revealed the following advantages and drawbacks: Pros Decent scores in independent tests of malicious URL blocking Multiple bonus features Excellent customer support available around the clock, live chat Suits for smartphones and tablets are available 99 of false positives the software doesnt block safe programs and files Cons Almost all of the 12 services provided can be disabled by the malware The bonus firewall is rather weak Phishing detection rates are low Requires almost 80 of computing power, very resource-hungry Does not feature protection of vulnerable software.

No CD or USB rescue files McAfee Pricing McAfees pricing mostly depends on the number of devices connected.

The cost of McAfee Total Protection is: One device: 29.99 first year, 79.99 further on (50 off).

Family package: 39.99 first year, 119.99 further on (80 off) Users can also order a 30-day free trial: suites for PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones are available, and up to 10 devices can be connected.

There is also a 100 money-back guarantee in case the software doesnt detect viruses (naturally, many additional terms apply, and the service is available for users from a few certain countries only).

Reliability and Security During recent years, McAfees scores in independent antivirus tests have been controversial: the software repels some malware quite well while ignoring new threats.

The researchers at AV-Test Institute evaluated the quality of protection according to three criteria: how it protects against malware, how good the performance is, and how much it interferes with usability.

For each aspect, the software could earn six points and get a maximum of 18 points.

McAfees score ranged from 14.5 to 17 during the last three years.

Good news: all the packages have an inbuilt firewall that hides ports and withstands web-attacks efficiently.

Instead of sending requests for connection, this firewall performs the program control on its own.

Its pretty efficient except for the cases when targeted attacks are made.

McAfee has a gaming mode that suspends some functions while you play computer games, so you arent interrupted by lag or pop-up reminders.
