McAfee is really great
Windows User
Great product for multiple computers and more!!! Unlike the previous version, this seems to not slow my PC down :)
Love McAfee for all my devices
Windows User
I have several computers and other devices I need to protect. This is one of the best tools/packages for making that happen at an affordable price.
Difficult to use
Windows User
Found this antivirus very difficult to install on multiple items devices (cell phones, multiple computers) as it did not use the Key Code for all devices but issued a new code for each device. I don’t know how to keep track of each one. Once installed, it seems to work well but I doubt I will want to go through the installation process every year, so I have to lower its score.
McAfee is good for me
Windows User
I am not a tech guru or a computer enthusiast. This was easy enough for me to install without calling tech support. I have been a McAfee user for years and it has never failed me. I ordered the physical version with a card inside that has an install number (a.k.a. "Key") on it. I have an account with McAfee, so I logged in, put the install number in my account and downloaded the new software. For every other computer I needed to update, I logged into McAfee and downloaded the new software. Very easy.
HUONOA PALVELUA, VELOITETAAN, MUTTA EI SUOJAUSTA
Windows User
Todella huono palvelu, toukokuussa 2019 veloitettiin tililtä 79,95 euroa. Otin yhteyttä chatin kautta, kun koneelle tulee ilmoituksia ei suojauksesta, asia käytiin läpi moneen kertaa ja vakuutettiin, että suojaus on OK. Siitä asti on tullut toistuvasti viestiä koneelle, että suojaus puuttuu. Ei löydy suomenkielistä palvelua. Chatin kautta palveltiin suomeksi, mutta niin huonoa kieltä, että epäilin kyseessä olleen robotin. Olisi todella hyvä, jos sivulta löytyisi joku puhelinnumero, josta saisi suomenkielistä palvelua.
Untrustworthy "review" site in general
Windows User
Don't listen to these amateur reviews. McAfee is known for its poor protection compared to industry leaders such as ESET and Kaspersky. Reason why they get bad reviews here is cause they don't pay a dime to these reviewers, while McAfee bribes these salesmen to get perfect ratings. If you want actual tests and reviews between different anti-virus software go to YouTube and search for tests OR go to AV-test or AV-Comparatives. Do not listen to these bribed salesmen they have no idea what they are talking about.
McAfee on todella suuri
Mac User
Upea tuote useille tietokoneille ja muille!!! Toisin kuin edellinen versio, tämä ei vaikuta hidstavan tietokonettani :)
