- McAfee Total Protection includes virus protection, identity management, and privacy protection
McAfee's antivirus software is well-known for being one of the most user-friendly available.
Reliability and PerformanceOnce in a while, McAfee has scored remarkably well on several third party lab testing, with scores ranging from good to excellent, but different labs and testing over time paints the complete picture of an antivirus software which isn't bad but also not that good.
Anti-MalwareWebAdvisor promotes safe internet browsing by checking all downloads for malware and warning about risky behaviors such as going online without the real-time virus protection turned on.
Anti-PhishingThe antivirus program's WebAdvisor component doesn't just rely on a blacklist of bad URLs, but rather actively checks pages for signs of phishing.
FirewallIn tests of the firewall, the software has been found to perform admirably, providing 100% protection.
Extra Special Features
ShredderEver tried to delete a file from your hard drive completely? Usually, when you delete something, it moves to the recycle bin, and then it needs to be deleted again. But the deleted file's data never really is wiped from your disk. McAfee's shredder lets you easily delete files completely and securely, ensuring that all the file's data is completely erased and untraceable.
Quick CleanThis McAfee feature saves users time by cleaning up useless files and browsing history, freeing up space on your hard drive. For a truly hands-off experience, users can save additional time by programming this feature to run on a weekly or monthly basis.
Vulnerability ScannerThis feature alerts the user to potential security threats created by not installing available operating system patches and due to outdated programs.

Password StorageAfter easily installing the system, True Key will invite you to log in to a list of common sites so that it can gather and store your passwords.
SummaryAlthough it is a bit pricier than some of the other best antivirus software solutions available, the wide range of features that McAfee provides makes it one of the most popular antivirus programs.
In addition, its user-friendly, hands-off approach to internet security makes it particularly appealing to a wide audience. Not only does it protect the user from the hazards of the internet, it also saves headaches and time by performing the most critical of its tasks automatically in the background, quietly recognizing dangerous files and links.
