    Bad Antivirus

    I have used different antiviruses but this one was the worst. To begin, it slow down my computer, it change my audio settings, didn't clean my computer properly. When I started my computer it took up to 45 seconds to show me the user names and after typing my password in it sometimes took up to 5 minutes to login because it would show me a black or blue screen. After removing McAfee my computer works at its normal speed.

    Wow, great price for this security software. I've always used McAfee and it has never let me down. Total Protection on the many devices in my home is a big plus. Whether it's the personal computer and/or all the mobile devices, McAfee covers it all.

    This is my first time trying out McAfee, and it was mostly due to how much bang you get for your buck. This product frequently gets deep discounts, and so it's usually far below competitor prices. Alongside that, it does tend to offer more for a cheaper price. I've been using it for a while now, and it runs silently in the background with no noticeable slowdown. This was especially helpful for me, as I was on a budget and needed something quick.

    I picked this up during a sale BestBuy was having and love the value/features. Glad to know I'm being protected in some regard - with up to 5 devices, I'm currently using it for three and it gives a little piece of mind by doing so. Includes virus scans for your files, web browsing security (let's you know how 'safe' or 'unsafe' a site may be when you visit or search) and has a few other bells and whistles - like data backups for your phone, for instance. Overall, a very sound product.

    My Reasons for Choosing McAfee

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    McAfee is usually my choice of virus protection for our computers, cell phones, and tablet. I say "usually" because sometimes a virus protection including Antivirus Security has been included in the purchase of a computer. But, when I am choosing a virus protection and Antivirus Security, I have all the confidence in McAfee and consider it to be an excellent choice for total protection of our computers and cell phones. And the price is very reasonable and always includes a number of devices that you can put the virus protection on. The one I selected this time was protecting 5 devices so that it covers all 5 of our devices which includes 2 computers, 2 cell phones, and 1 tablet. I have never been disappointed with McAfee and never intend to buy any other brand of protection for our computers and other electronic devices! Thanks for a very good product!

    This is my second time using this internet protection. I liked this one because I am able to use this protection on several different devices. Also it's better to just buy the protection in the store versus renewing the subscription online. Buying a new protection in store will save you some money.

    Extends my current McAfee subscription

    Bought this McAfee package at a very good Best Buy price, to extend my current McAfee Total Protection subscription, which will expire soon. Have used McAfee for several years now after switching from Norton. Only reason for switching was that the new Laptop that I bought 4 years ago, already had a one year McAfee subscription installed. So I have stayed with McAfee with excellent results. I found nothing wrong with Norton, and I experienced excellent results with Norton for many years as well.

    I have been using McAfee for many years. I gave it a good review . I am very happy. The software has given me peace of mind.I have had no viruses or malware problems. The icon on every page is very convienant. You click on the icon and it immediately tells me if the page is secure ,how many trackers and cookies the site is using and if the site has valid credentials .The only problem is there schedule to run scans etc. are way to far apart. I run my scans as frequently as I want.
