MacAfee LiveSafe, the top level in Intel Security's internet security range, has a particular feature which may make it uniquely attractive – it covers as many devices as you can throw it at, as long as they're all yours.
The security software may be primarily Windows PC-based, but there are apps for OS X, Android and iOS offering various levels of protection and you can install them in any combination that suits.
McAfee Mac Virus ProtectionOn Macs, you can install the Mac version of McAfee Internet Security, a slightly less robust version than the Windows equivalent. The essentials are included: malware quarantine and detection, download scanning, and warnings about apps that lack proper certificates.
The firewall component also enhances the existing firewall protection built into OS X. The software also blocks access to phishing sites and other dangerous links and flags potentially dangerous search results and social media links in Firefox and Chrome.
McAfee Android Virus ProtectionMcAfee Antivirus Plus includes full protection for your Android devices. The software includes malware scanning, automatically scanning new apps. You can also lock any app with a PIN – useful if you share your device and would like certain apps to be off-limits. The unique anti-theft protection includes remote locate, lock, wipe, and alarm managed through McAfee's online portal.
Additional features include a Battery Optimizer, contacts back-up, Web Protection, and a handy tab that allows you to check your security status.
McAfee iOS Virus ProtectionAs a result of the lack of iOS malware, there isn't a need for iOS antivirus software. The McAfee iOS version instead allows the user to back up contacts, locate, wipe the device, and trigger an alarm in case of theft, and copy and store pictures inside of McAfee’s secure vault.
Ease of UseMcAfee'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.
McAfee Internet Security 2017 Additional Features
Parental ControlsFor each child's account on either Internet Security or Total Protection, you can configure it to block access to inappropriate websites. You can even control the times that the child is allowed to access the internet!
Anti-SpamWith Internet Security this McAfee software provides comprehensive spam filtering.
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.
