McAfee Total Protection is a premium antivirus that offers maximum security for computers running Windows or Mac OS X, also for smartphones and tablets. Total Protection pack ensures that your identity and privacy remain under ten locks. Users can choose how many devices they need to protect – 1, 5 or 10. Users interested in this software can test it with a 30-day trial and find out why this product has earned so many awards from independent antivirus test labs such as AV-Test or AV-Comparatives.
The software vendor gives 100% guarantee that the software or a McAfee expert can remove any virus or you will get your money back. Speaking of McAfee Total Protection features, you get quite a lot for the price you pay ($54.99-$59.99 per year for one device):
That is a nice pack of features; however, if you are willing to protect more than one device, you can purchase a license for 5 devices (costs $89.99/year or $84.99/year during promotions) or 10 devices ($99.99/year, price during promotions can drop to $29.99 for the first year). Some sources say that the number 10 simply draws customers’ attention more effectively while actually you can secure an unlimited number of devices.
Opting for multi-device protection gives access to an additional feature known as File Lock. With this little extra, you can secure your private files by encrypting them and protecting them with a password. However, when you try this feature for the first time, you will be asked to answer three security questions. The number of selectable questions is short, and unfortunately, answers to some of these questions can be figured out by nosey scammers quite easily. Be creative or either use wrong answers on purpose.
McAfee Total Protection requires connection to the Internet and works with the following operating systems:
Speaking of hardware requirements, McAfee needs at least 2 GB RAM for Windows 7 or higher, also 500 MB of free drive space and at least 1 GHz processor.
The security product supports these browsers: IE 10.0 or later, Firefox, Chrome, Safari (on Apple devices only).
The ANTI-SPAM feature is compatible with the following email software: POP3 (Windows Mail, Outlook, Becky, Shuriken, Thunderbird, Netscape), MAPI (Outlook), Web (MSN/Hotmail or an account with IMAP/POP3 access). The ANTI-SPAM toolbar needs the following software to function: Microsoft Outlook 2007/2013/2016, Thunderbird 38.0 or higher, or other POP3 email clients without SSL and web accounts.
McAfee offers a variety of different options for users, and one of them is LiveSafe software, the ultimate antivirus for your computer. At first sight, it shares many features with Total Protection software; however, there are some differences between these two.
The price of LiveSafe is between $94.99-$99.99, but you can catch an even better deal during seasonal promotions. For this price, you can protect as many Windows/Mac/iOS/Android devices as you want.
