Continuous protection


MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS MAKES ONLINE PROTECTION EASY

Get continuous protection from phishing, viruses, hackers, and ransomware. Your
security also includes alerts before connecting to risky websites. It’s simple
to install and use with 1-click fixes to help you and your family stay safer
online.

Automatic protection


PROTECTING YOUR DEVICES AND PERSONAL DATA

Most antivirus software programs download updates automatically when you are
online. This helps ensure that your protection is always up to date. We
recommend that you enable real-time scanning to make sure that there are no
lapses in your protection. In addition, you can schedule system scans in advance
for times that work best for you.

Beyond protection


ONLINE PROTECTION BEYOND JUST ANTIVIRUS



Adopting a more complete security solution goes beyond strictly PC antivirus.
Protecting the expansive aspects of your digital life covers a wide spectrum of
devices – including your  PCs, Macs,  iOS devices,  and Android devices – all of
which are key pillars supporting your connected lifestyle. Strong security
software that provides the right level of protection for each device is a great
start to ensuring your busy life is protected, and more importantly,
uninterrupted.

But life doesn’t start and end with devices alone. Having personal protection
also involves your identity and privacy, particularly when it comes to the
services you trust with your personal information and your data going to and
from the internet. Adopting a VPN  solution, regularly deleting cookies and
adopting an identity monitoring service can all help to stay on top of your
identity and privacy that extends beyond your devices. While you can control
your security and best practices, unfortunately, you don’t have much control
over what happens to your data once it’s on the internet, nor can you control
when companies that you entrust your data to may get breached and leak personal
info onto marketplaces like those on the Dark Web.



Mobile protection


DO I NEED ANTIVIRUS FOR MY SMARTPHONE?

Yes! The prevalence of mobile phones has created a unique opportunity for
cybercriminals. Even just a handful of malicious apps pretending to be
legitimate apps can do serious damage in a hurry. Protecting your mobile device
with antivirus software can help you steer clear of these threats and keep both
your money and personal data safer.

WHAT IS ANTIVIRUS?

An antivirus is a software program used to prevent, detect, and eliminate
malware and viruses. It works for all types of devices, such as desktop
computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. An antivirus usually runs in the
background to provide real-time protection without interfering with your
browsing experience.  

 

Many antivirus programs include additional features to keep your computer
optimized and resource consumption at a minimum. Here are the main features of
an antivirus: 

MALWARE DETECTION, QUARANTINE, AND REMOVAL 




REAL-TIME, ON-DEMAND, AND SCHEDULED SCANNING OF FILES AND APPLICATIONS  




ADVANCED FIREWALL FOR HOME NETWORK SECURITY





WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAID AND FREE ANTIVIRUS?

Usually, free antivirus software offers baseline malware protection that may not
be sufficient to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape. This is particularly
true when it comes to the wide variety of zero-day threats and digital threats
that go beyond just antivirus. Some features may be limited in use – even worse,
some free programs can even gather your personal data in exchange for their
services.

On the other hand, paid antivirus subscriptions give you up-to-date, advanced
security protection against a wide variety of malware and digital threats. Paid
solutions also tend to come with richer features and services. For example,
McAfee® Total Protection includes identity protection and a VPN to protect your
personal info.

Rest assured that with our free 30-day trial you’ll get all the features of our
flagship product, including antivirus, web protection, password manager, and
more. Take advantage of our free trial and gain greater peace of mind every time
you use your devices.

KNOWING WHEN A SITE IS SPOOFED

Have you ever received a congratulatory text about a contest you never entered?
Or maybe gotten a poorly drafted email from your bank about an overdue bill you
know nothing about? These, and the infamous Nigerian Prince messages, are
examples of phishing. Phishing is a tactic used by cybercriminals to mislead you
into thinking you’re about to engage in a legitimate transaction. In reality,
you may be about to enter your banking credentials or credit card into a fake
site.

If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of some links or emails, you can type the
address of a website directly into your browser instead of clicking the link you
were sent. Checking the domain (or .com) that the email was sent from is another
good practice. These simple steps can help you stay ahead of website spoofing or
URL spoofing.

With McAfee® Web Protection, you can sidestep malicious sites with clear
warnings of risky websites, links, and file downloads.


HOW DOES AN ANTIVIRUS DETECT EMERGING MALWARE AND THREATS?

Security tools of the past relied on manually gathering malware definitions (the
different types of malicious software that had been found in the wild, like
viruses, ransomware and spyware). As threats have advanced in nature and
complexity, industry-leading antivirus software like McAfee Total Protection,
also quickly developed to stay ahead of cybercriminals. At McAfee, we use
strategies like behavioral detection and machine learning to ensure we can
detect, isolate, and eliminate all recognized malware and even zero-day digital
threats (brand new threats that haven't been seen before) to keep you safe
online.


5 SIGNS THAT YOUR DEVICE MAY BE INFECTED

Depending on the type of malware, your device may exhibit varying behavior. For
example:

 * Screen takeover – a screen filled with a matrix of numbers or
   skull-and-crossbones accompanied by ransom instructions are consistent with
   being infected by ransomware. 
 * Spikes in data usage - if your data usage is increasing but you're not sure
   why, malware may be to blame. It's possible that a program is running in the
   background and transmitting your sensitive information to cybercriminals.
 * Browser pop-ups - while in general pop-up ads are just annoying, if you’re
   seeing these ads when your browser is closed, you could be dealing with
   malware. 
 * Overheating - phones and computers are high-performance devices, but if your
   device unexpectedly gets hot while idle, it’s possible that malware could be
   stealing performance from that device and using those resources for
   cryptomining. 
 * Faster battery drain - similar to overheating, if your battery life becomes
   unexpectedly short, it could be because malware is running in the background
   and draining your power. 

With all the advances in phishing attacks and malware, bad actors no longer need
physical access to your devices to wreak havoc. For example, an intruder
could sign into your accounts as you, spam your contacts with phishing attacks,
add new mobile lines, and even request new credit cards. The good news is that
many of these attacks can be avoided with strong security software that can
prevent these intrusions before they can cause any harm.

online.




WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALWARE AND A VIRUS?

Malware is a term for any type of malicious software, regardless of how it
works, its intent or how it’s distributed. A virus is a specific type of malware
that self-replicates by inserting its code into other programs. There are many
ways cybercriminals distribute malware and viruses, but the most common are
malicious emails and websites.


WHAT IS FAKE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE?

Fake antivirus software is one of the most persistent threats on the internet
today. Masquerading as legitimate antivirus software, these malicious programs
extort money from you to “fix” your computer. This new “antivirus” program even
disables legitimate security software that you already have, leaving you exposed
to real threats. These rogue programs catch unsuspecting users by displaying a
browser popup that warns you that your computer may be infected, and that you
need to download a (fake) security software to fix the problem.\n\nThis type of
malware is often referred to as “scareware” since the pop-ups use messages like
“You have a virus,” as a way to get you to click. Most of us are eager to get
rid of any potential problems as quickly as possible, which opens a huge window
of opportunity for these bad actors. If successful, the cybercriminals get your
credit card details and other personal information, and you get nothing but
malware in return.




HOW DO I USE MCAFEE’S ANTIVIRUS?

McAfee products offer real-time, on-demand, and scheduled scanning, allowing you
to automatically or manually scan your device for malware and other threats
while keeping your data private and protected. Our antivirus software also
includes identity protection and VPN.


HOW TO SET UP YOUR FAMILY

Setting up family protection is simple. Just enter an email address or mobile
phone number for each person you want to invite.

Your family member will get a message to log in along with steps to set up
protection for their computers, phones, web browsing, and passwords. They’ll
also have their own identity monitoring to receive alerts when their personal
data is found on the dark web. 

Two adults can also set up credit monitoring, find their personal info on data
broker sites to remove it, and clean up personal info from old online
accounts.  

Each family member will have their own notifications and log in where they can
check their Protection Score along with recommended steps to improve their score
and overall online safety.


WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH PARENTAL CONTROLS?

Parental controls provides you with the ability to supervise and keep your kids
safer online. When you sign up for a family plan, you’ll receive easy
instructions to get set up with the parental controls app.


 * See what your kids are up to: View your kid’s device activity and location at
   a glance from your phone or desktop.
 * Set rules and time limits: Start off with age-based rules for apps and
   websites that you can customize based on your kid’s needs.
 * Know where your kids are: Locate them on a live map and receive automated
   notifications when they enter or leave familiar places like a school or the
   library.
 * Family requests: Collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra
   app time or access blocked apps or websites.




ADDITIONAL FAQS FOR FAMILY PLANS

What's included in McAfee+ family plans?
Family plans come with identity theft protection, online privacy, and device
security for up to 6 family members (up to 2 adults and 4 children) without
having to share logins. Each family member can set up their own identity,
privacy, and device protection features in the way that works best for them. 

Each family member gets their own, Individual Protection Score, which shows how
safe they are, with guidance on how to improve their protection. Plus, parents
can help keep their children safe online and limit their risk exposure
with parental controls. 
How do I share the subscription with my family?
To share your subscription with your family, log in to My Account and click
Manage users and devices. From there, you can send an invitation to each family
member to join your plan. Each family member will be able to set up their McAfee
account and complete the setup for their online protection.
Why does my spouse need online protection if I already have it?
Every one of us has valuable personal data and our online privacy to protect.
When you add your spouse as an adult family member on your family account, they
will be able to set up and manage their own identity and credit monitoring,
Personal Data Cleanup to remove their info from data broker sites, and more.
They’re also covered with up to $1 million in case of stolen identity and up to
$25K for ransomware.
How many people can I add to my family plan?
You can add up to 5 additional people to your family plan for a total of 2
adults and 4 children (minors). 
Why should my children have online protection?
Kids need protection in many of the same ways adults do. They have Social
Security Numbers, which if used for identity theft, could affect their credit
standings. They also have usernames and email addresses that could be part of a
data breach, finding their way to the dark web where criminals can access them. 

When online, children (and adults) need to be notified when a website or link is
risky and could lead to a phishing site or a malware download. And of course,
device protection on their computers and phones can save them from online
threats like viruses and hackers. 
How will minors be able to manage their online protection?
The account owner can invite members as either an adult or a minor. Minors (and
adults) will have access to their own accounts on the McAfee Protection Center.
However, minors have access to fewer identity and privacy features than adults. 

As a parent, you can choose to set up and manage your child’s account yourself
and access the account in the McAfee Protection Center in order to stay on top
of your child’s online protection settings, notifications, Protection Score, and
recommended steps to improve your child’s online safety.
As the purchaser (admin), can I see all other family member McAfee+ accounts?
As the account owner, you can see all users and their devices. However, you will
not be able to access family members’ Protection Score, settings, and alerts.
What comes with parental controls?
The internet is a wide-open world and parents can’t always be there to supervise
what their children are accessing or who their communicating with online.
McAfee+ Family plans include the tools you need to:
 * view device activity easily from your phone or desktop
 * set app and website rules and time limits
 * locate your kids on a live map and receive automated notifications when they
   enter or leave familiar places
 * collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or
   access blocked apps or websites.

Can I add someone like my parent or child who doesn’t live in my home as a
member on my family plan?
Yes, family is what you make it. Add one adult and up to four minors to your
plan no matter where they live. It’s simple to get them set up. Just enter their
email address and they’ll get a message with instructions.
If family members leave my plan does my price change?
No, the price of your plan will not change if family members leave your plan.
You can still make the most of your plan by adding someone else to take their
spot!
How does payment for the family plan work?
The purchaser (account owner) of the family plan is the only person who can
manage payment and payment settings.
Can I change the primary account owner?
The purchaser of the plan will always be the primary account owner.
What devices and OS are compatible with McAfee+?
McAfee+ is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, Chromebooks, and mobile
devices. You can find operating system compatibility on our System Requirements
page.




ADDITIONAL FAQS FOR ONLINE ACCOUNT CLEANUP

Why is closing my online accounts important?
When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company's
database and can remain there even after you delete the account. An internet
user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are
still active.

The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of
them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. We'll help you
delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and
even cut down on annoying spam emails.
How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts?
We’ll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal
information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. If
you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click,
the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We help you send
these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.
How will you see who has my personal data?
With your approval, we’ll scan the subject lines in your inbox to see which
companies are emailing you and how much of your info they might have. We will
only look at the email sender, subject line, timestamp, and the first few words
of the email—we will not scan the full body of the email or any attachments.

We’ll then help you decide which accounts you want to keep and which you might
want to delete to lower the risk of a data breach.
What’s the difference between “Scans” and “Full-service”?
Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and
gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. Online Account Cleanup: Scans
is included in all McAfee+ plans.

Online Account Cleanup: Full-service not only finds your accounts, but lets the
experts send the data deletion requests for you with a single click, saving you
up to 10 hours or more* of manual work. Online Account Cleanup: Full-service is
only included with McAfee+ Ultimate plans.

subscription price in effect at the time of your renewal, until you cancel
(Vermont residents must opt-in to auto-renewal.) Unless otherwise stated, if a
savings amount is shown, it describes the difference between the introductory
first term price (available only to customers without an existing McAfee
subscription) and the renewal subscription price (e.g., first term price vs.
each year thereafter). Pricing is subject to change. If the renewal price
changes, we will notify you in advance so you always know what’s going on. You
can cancel your subscription or change your auto-renewal settings any time after
purchase from your My Account page. To learn more, click here. You will be
provided a full refund upon request, by contacting Customer Support within 30
days of your initial purchase or 60 days of auto-renewal. Your subscription is
