Ratings and reviews

McAfee seems to do a good job, but it is currently my number one source of adware. Every day I have to dismiss multiple notifications on my laptop related to "buy more stuff from us" -- only scam protection, make more space on your computer, upgrade your account, spend, spend, spend. For helping me get rid of this stuff, they do a great job of replacing it with their own ads. Then we move to the phone, constant notifications. It's like a toddler saying "look mom!" over and over. Tiring.

I guess it is working...its installed on my phone but has not found anything. but these alerts are annoying with no way to turn them off. Literally every 3-5 minutes it has to tell me it is protecting my phone, like an annoying coworker that has to make a point of constantly telling you they're doing the job they are hired for. And the PC, I have it on 2 Win 11 PCs & its fine until I do a full scan and it errors out on both. Doesn't pass 1% of the scan. Even for my parents' PC that has few files

Have used McAfee for years and have yet to be disappointed. Used to have my own business; selling, building, and repairing computers, I have used McAfee since the mid 80's and always recommended it to my customers, but I was never disappointed except how expensive the price has gotten. May be confusing at times but does it job plus some. Actually, I would give 10 stars, except for new users, it could be very confusing & little hard for them to understand how exactly to set everything up & price.
