Question 1

How do I use/activate a coupon from McAfee?

Accepted Answer

Activating a coupon from McAfee is super easy. All you need to do is follow these 3 steps:

Choose the best McAfee deal for your needs.
Click on “Get Deal”, then “Visit Discount Page”.
You will be taken to the discount page — in most cases, the discount will automatically be applied at checkout (but in some cases, you may also need to copy/paste a promo code).

Question 2

Can I use a coupon for an existing McAfee subscription?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. You can only get a discount when signing up for the first time. But the good news is that top-quality antiviruses offer yearly subscriptions, so you can use the longest available subscription to save even more money.

Question 3

Can I combine several McAfee coupons to get a bigger discount?

Accepted Answer

Typically, you can only use one coupon at checkout. However, the McAfee coupons on this page offer the best savings available, so you can get one of the best antiviruses on the market at a fraction of the regular price.

Question 4

How long are these McAfee coupons valid for?

Accepted Answer

Most of the McAfee coupons here are limited-time offers, so you need to hurry, as no one knows when they’ll go away. This page is updated daily, so you can be sure that you’re always seeing up-to-date McAfee coupons and promos.

Question 5

How often does McAfee offer new deals?

Accepted Answer

McAfee offers deals and discounts several times a year, usually around the holidays. I recommend that you bookmark this McAfee coupon page and regularly check back for new deals and discounts.

Question 6

What’s the best VPN for Mac?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is my favorite Mac VPN in 2022 — it’s one of the easiest VPNs to use, it’s full of excellent features, it scored as the fastest VPN in my tests, it’s reasonably priced, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee (so you can try it out for 30 days and see if you like it).

But there are many other excellent Mac VPNs out there. CyberGhost is one of the easiest-to-use VPNs on the market, and ProtonVPN has a good free plan. VyprVPN has the best set of VPN protocols for macOS, Private Internet Access provides great security and a feature-rich macOS app, and IPVanish lets you connect an unlimited number of devices.

Question 7

How does a VPN for Mac work?

Accepted Answer

The VPNs listed here all work by rerouting your data through private, encrypted tunnels. All of the browsing activity that you send from your Mac gets rerouted through a third-party provider (the VPN) and encrypted with military-grade encryption before it reaches your destination website. Then, whatever the website sends back to you will also be encrypted.

This prevents anyone — including hackers — from surveilling your internet activity. A VPN also replaces your IP address with a virtual IP address from another country, so you can bypass internet restrictions. The best Mac VPNs (like ExpressVPN) can do all of these things and more.

Question 8

Doesn’t macOS have a built-in VPN client?

Accepted Answer

Yes, macOS has a built-in VPN client, but it’s very different than a VPN service. The macOS VPN client connects users to a VPN at their workplace or school — so remote workers are able to access their company’s network and files, and students or faculty members can log into their campus’s network.

On the other hand, a VPN service provider like ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN will let you connect to secure servers located all over the world while masking your IP address and encrypting your data — this allows you to securely and privately browse the web, stream videos, and share P2P files.

Question 9

Are there any free VPNs for Mac?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but most aren’t very good. While there are a couple of decent free VPNs for Mac users, most free VPNs aren’t secure enough, have frustrating limitations, store user data, and/or slow down internet speed. If you’re looking for a safe and secure free VPN for your Mac, I recommend ProtonVPN — its free plan works on macOS, provides unlimited bandwidth on 1 device, has good speeds, and is very easy to use.

But if you’re looking for a VPN that provides multiple simultaneous connections, comes with advanced security features, works with streaming services, and allows torrenting, you should get a premium VPN. My top 3 choices — ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, and ProtonVPN — all offer money-back guarantees, so you have plenty of time to try them out risk-free.

Question 10

What’s the best VPN to torrent with?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is the best torrenting VPN in 2022. It’s very fast, supports torrenting on all of its 3,000+ servers, uses unbreakable encryption (256-bit AES), has a kill switch, fully protects against DNS leaks, and maintains a strict no-logs policy.

But there are a lot of other excellent torrenting VPNs out there. ProtonVPN is great for maintaining anonymity, Private Internet Access has strong security and fast speeds, CyberGhost has a particularly intuitive interface, and IPVanish allows for unlimited simultaneous connections.

Question 11

Is torrenting safe with a VPN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you choose one of the best torrenting VPNs. The ones on this list come with 256-bit AES encryption, a connection kill switch, no-logs policies, and other security features like IP spoofing and DNS leak protection.

However, a VPN can’t protect you against malware that gets downloaded in torrenting files — to keep your device and data safe from downloadable malware, you need an antivirus program.

Question 12

Will third-parties see that I’m downloading torrents?

Accepted Answer

No. A good VPN masks your activity by encrypting all of your traffic, which means no one will be able to see your online activity — except for your VPN provider. That’s why it’s important to make sure you pick a VPN provider that does not keep user logs (like ExpressVPN, which has been independently verified to maintain a secure and legitimate no-logs policy).

The best VPNs for torrenting also have additional safety measures like a kill switch, which shuts down your internet connection (or specific apps) in case your VPN connection gets interrupted or compromised.

Question 13

Can I use a free VPN to torrent?

Accepted Answer

You can, but you shouldn’t. Free VPNs may not cost money, but they’ll cost you your privacy, your security, and/or your bandwidth. It’s always better to torrent with a paid VPN that provides strong security, unlimited bandwidth, a no-logs policy, and a lot of torrenting-supported servers.

ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for torrenting — it has all of the features you need to securely and quickly download torrents, and it provides a good value for the money. Plus, it has a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 14

What is the best VPN for Windows?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for Windows in 2022. It’s easy to use, has excellent security, is one of the fastest VPNs on the market, works with Netflix and other streaming services, supports torrenting, and backs each payment plan with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

While ExpressVPN is my top VPN for Windows, there are a lot of other great options available. CyberGhost VPN is secure, fast, and very cheap, and ProtonVPN comes with great privacy features (and also has the best free plan for Windows users). Private Internet Access (PIA) allows Windows users to customize the VPN in a lot of different ways, and PrivateVPN has a very user-friendly Windows app with a Simple View for beginner users and an Advanced View for tech-savvy users.

Question 15

Are there any free VPNs for Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are free VPNs available for Windows. But free VPNs usually lack standard security features, have slow speeds, may log your personal data, and set a limit on the amount of data you can use.

But if you’re looking for a reliable free VPN, ProtonVPN is my top choice — you can use it on one device at a time, you get unlimited data and access to servers in 3 countries (located in the US, Japan, and the Netherlands), and its Windows app is very easy to use.

That said, I still recommend purchasing a reasonably-priced VPN like ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, or one of ProtonVPN’s premium tier-based payment plans. They’re all secure, fast, good for streaming and torrenting, and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 16

Is it safe to use a VPN on my Windows device?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it’s very safe to use a VPN on your Windows desktop computer, laptop, or tablet. All of the VPNs on this list protect your data with 256-bit AES encryption, a kill switch, secure protocols, and a strict no-logs policy. Most of them also include extra features like split-tunneling, ad blocking, and specialized servers for streaming, torrenting, and bypassing firewalls in restrictive countries.

Question 17

Does Windows have a built-in VPN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Windows has a built-in VPN desktop client, but it’s not the same thing as a VPN service provider like ExpressVPN or CyberGhost VPN. The Windows VPN client is designed to use your device as a VPN server, but setting it up is a very technical process (and you still need to subscribe to a third-party VPN provider for the Windows VPN client to work).

I recommend that you keep things simple and purchase a trustworthy VPN service to be able to connect to one of their multiple VPN servers.

Question 18

Is it legal to watch Netflix with a VPN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is completely legal to use a VPN to watch Netflix. However, depending on your usage, it may be against Netflix’s terms and conditions to use a VPN to watch geo-restricted content.

If Netflix detects that you are using a VPN, you will likely receive an error message and you won’t be able to access that Netflix content until you turn off your VPN.

While Netflix blocks a lot of VPNs, there are many good VPNs that are able to access Netflix, like ExpressVPN and CyberGhost VPN.

Question 19

What is the best VPN for Netflix?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is my top pick for Netflix in 2022 — it can access Netflix, it’s fast, and it comes with excellent security features. ExpressVPN allows up to 5 connections on a single account, has affordable pricing plans, and backs each purchase by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

While ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for Netflix, all of the other VPNs on this list are also very good choices for watching Netflix. CyberGhost makes it very easy to find the best (fastest) server to watch Netflix, and Getflix uses SmartDNS technology to access Netflix and 500+ other streaming sites. VyprVPN uses its own Chameleon protocol to bypass internet restrictions, and it’s also pretty fast. ProtonVPN provides excellent privacy features and access to dedicated streaming servers.

Question 20

How do I use a VPN with Netflix?

Accepted Answer

Accessing Netflix with a VPN is very simple — it requires only 3 steps:

Get a VPN. Download and install a reputable VPN that works with Netflix (I recommend ExpressVPN or CyberGhost VPN).
Connect to a server. Open the app and locate the list of server locations in the server menu. Scroll down the list of servers until you locate the server you want to connect to.
Sign into your Netflix account. When you sign into your Netflix account, you’ll be able to stream content from the streaming site’s library.

Question 21

Can I use a free VPN to watch Netflix?

Accepted Answer

Netflix blocks most free VPNs — so you’ll probably need a paid service like ExpressVPN for fast, reliable streaming. While some VPNs offer good free plans, most are unable to access Netflix, are slow, and set a limit on your bandwidth.

The best option is to purchase a reasonably-priced VPN that will allow you to safely and securely watch Netflix. VPN brands like ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, and VyprVPN all work with Netflix, provide fast speeds, include many extra features, are affordable, and have a money-back guarantee.

Question 22

What’s the best VPN for Android?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for Android in 2022. It’s user-friendly, has excellent security features, maintains lightning-fast speeds, allows P2P traffic on all servers, works with all of the popular streaming services, and backs every plan with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

While ExpressVPN is a great Android VPN, there are other good VPNs available for Android users. ProtonVPN is very secure and offers a good free plan, Private Internet Access has tons of customization options and very fast speeds, CyberGhost VPN is secure, easy to use, and pretty cheap, and PrivateVPN is good for streaming on your Android app.

Question 23

Is there a free VPN for Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are free Android VPNs. I typically don’t recommend that you use a free VPN — most of them lack basic security features, log user data, have slow speeds, and don’t offer good support.

But if you’re looking for a good free Android VPN, I recommend ProtonVPN — you get unlimited data, access to 3 server locations (in the US, the Netherlands, and Japan), and pretty fast speeds. TunnelBear also has a decent free plan, but it limits you to only 500 MB per month.

That said, I recommend that you purchase a low-cost Android VPN like ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, or Private Internet Access. They’re all secure, fast, intuitive, great for streaming and torrenting, and include a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can test out the product risk-free.

Question 24

What is the fastest VPN for Android?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is the fastest VPN on this list. In my tests, I only had an average decrease in speed of about 18%, which is excellent. I was able to surf the internet, stream content, torrent, and play video games without any delays — even on the most distant servers. But all of the other Android VPNs I recommend are also very fast, decreasing my speed by no more than 40%.

Question 25

What’s the Best VPN for iOS?

Accepted Answer

ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for iOS devices in 2022 — it’s easy to use, has top-notch security features, maintains extremely fast speeds, works with all of the top streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ExpressVPN is the best VPN for iOS, but there are other good options out there. Private Internet Access is one of the few VPNs that has a kill switch for iOS, and ProtonVPN offers high-end security and a really good free plan. CyberGhost VPN has dedicated servers for accessing streaming services, and PrivateVPN is great for beginners.

Question 26

Do You Need a VPN on iOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I strongly recommend that you purchase an affordable VPN for your iOS device. All iOS devices have built-in security features and are good for protecting you against malware, but a VPN provides extra layers of security that aren’t included on iOS devices.

A VPN protects your browsing data with 256-bit AES encryption, and it protects your privacy by replacing your actual IP address with an IP address from a new location — masking your internet activities from any prying eyes.

And the top iOS VPNs come with a strict no-logs policy, preventing the VPN provider from storing any of your online traffic (websites that you visit and files that you download). Plus, good VPNs are also able to access streaming sites, and they come with extra features like an ad blocker and a password generator.

Question 27

Is there a free VPN for iOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are free VPNs available, but I normally don’t recommend that you use one. Free VPNs usually lack essential security features, have slow speeds, set a limit on your data, expose you to ads, and may log your online traffic.

But if you want a good free iOS VPN, I recommend ProtonVPN’s free plan — it comes with robust security features, unlimited bandwidth, access to servers in the US, the Netherlands, and Japan, and pretty fast speeds. However, ProtonVPN’s free plan only allows you to connect 1 device, and it doesn’t support streaming.

That said, I strongly recommend buying a reasonably-priced premium VPN like ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, or one of ProtonVPN’s paid plans. They all have user-friendly iOS apps, fast speeds, excellent security features, work with popular streaming services, and are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 28

What is the fastest VPN for iOS?

Accepted Answer

In my speed tests, ExpressVPN had the fastest speeds (I only experienced an 18% slowdown) — websites instantly loaded, HD videos were crisp and clear, and I didn’t experience any lag while playing video games. But I also had fast speeds for browsing, streaming, and gaming with all of the VPNs on this list.

Question 29

Is McAfee a good antivirus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. McAfee ranks among the top anti-malware scanners on the market, with a consistent 100% detection rating for a variety of malware, including trojans, rootkits, spyware, adware, and more.

In my tests, McAfee’s full system scan took about 1 hour to complete, which is comparable to top competitors like Bitdefender, but it’s slower than Norton and Avira. McAfee allows you to conveniently schedule scans and there’s also an option to customize your scan (you can select specific files to scan).

McAfee offers affordable antivirus plans for individuals and families across a range of devices — you can check out the Plans and Pricing section of this review to find out more.

Question 30

Will McAfee remove malware from my computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. McAfee is a reliable antivirus that you can use to scan your PC for viruses and protect it in real-time. McAfee performed consistently well in my tests, detecting all kinds of malware, such as ransomware, spyware, cryptojackers, adware, etc.

Also, this antivirus is backed by McAfee Virus Pledge. This means that the company promises to give users their money back at any time during their subscription if McAfee is unable to remove malware from their devices (Norton has a similar deal with their products, as well).

Question 31

Will McAfee detect spyware?

Accepted Answer

Yes. McAfee’s malware scanner is designed to detect and remove every type of known malware (including spyware and adware). McAfee also includes a real-time protection engine in all of its plans, which can block malware files — like spyware — from being downloaded or opened on your device.

If you’re curious about the difference between standalone anti-spyware software and more comprehensive anti-malware programs, SafetyDetectives did a full breakdown on the best anti-spyware solutions in 2022.

Question 32

Will McAfee slow down my computer?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Mcafee slowed down my PC during a full system scan, but users can also schedule scans during the night and avoid any slowdown whatsoever. When you’re not performing a scan, McAfee is unlikely to slow down your system. That said, if you’re looking for a very lightweight antivirus, take a look at Avira and Bitdefender, both of which are extremely easy on system resources.

McAfee Total Protection also includes some decent system tune-up tools, which can help optimize your system startup, clean up junk files, and get a slow computer running faster.

Question 33

Does McAfee have a free version?

Accepted Answer

McAfee doesn’t have a free version, but it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee with all of its plans (extended to 60 days for auto-renewal customers).

Question 34

Is McAfee available for iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. McAfee Mobile Security is available for both iOS and Android.

McAfee’s mobile app offers advanced anti-malware and anti-phishing protection, Wi-Fi security check, a VPN, a secure media vault, and much more. Mobile Security also features advanced anti-theft protection.

McAfee’s Mobile Security is one the best mobile apps on the market today — and it’s extremely affordable when purchased as part of any Total Protection multi-device plan.

Question 35

Which McAfee should I buy?

Accepted Answer

It depends!

Individual users on a PC or Mac will want to get the McAfee Total Protection Single Device plan (unless you’re a gamer, then you should check out McAfee Gamer Security).

People with 5 or less devices that want coverage on multiple computers or mobile devices should check out the Multi-Device plan, while parents who want parental controls and coverage for up to 10 devices will want to buy the Family plan. US users looking to protect more than 10 devices should take a look at the Ultimate Coverage plan, which lets you install McAfee on an unlimited number of devices.
