If you want to protect your identity, finances, and privacy online, you have a pretty powerful tool at hand. It\u2019s online protection software. Today\u2019s protection is built to get that job done.<\/p>\n

For starters, online protection has evolved tremendously over recent years, making it more comprehensive than ever. It goes far beyond antivirus. And it protects more than your devices. It protects you. Your identity. Your finances. Your privacy.<\/p>\n

Given how much of daily life has shifted to our computers and phones, like our finances and shopping, there\u2019s a strong case for getting comprehensive online protection in place.<\/p>\n

Granted, we\u2019re an online protection company. And of course, we hope you\u2019ll give our protection like McAfee+<\/a> a close look. With that, a quick rundown of what it can do for you and your identity, finances, and privacy helps. In all, it shows just how comprehensive this protection gets.<\/p>\n

You can keep tabs on your identity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This form of protection starts with Identity Monitoring<\/a>. It checks the dark web for your personal info, including email, government IDs, credit card and bank account numbers, and more. If any of it shows up on the dark web, it sends you an alert with guidance that can help protect you from identity theft.<\/p>\n

Should the unexpected happen, our Identity Theft Coverage & Restoration<\/a> can get you on the path to recovery. It offers up to $2 million in coverage for legal fees, travel, and funds lost because of identity theft. Further, a licensed recovery pro can do the work for you, taking the necessary steps to repair your identity and credit.<\/p>\n

Another way identity thieves get what they want is through scam texts, emails, and messages. You can keep clear of their shady links with our new AI-powered Scam Protection<\/a>. It automatically detects links that can send you to scam sites and other destinations that steal personal info. If you accidentally click? Don\u2019t worry, we can block risky sites if you click on a suspicious link in texts, emails, social media, and more.<\/p>\n

You can monitor your financial big picture all in one place.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As you conduct so many of your finances online, it only makes sense that you can keep tabs on them just as easily. Features like our Credit Monitoring<\/a> keep an eye on changes to your credit score, report, and accounts with timely notifications and guidance so you can take action to tackle identity theft.<\/p>\n

And if you spot something out of the ordinary, our Security Freeze<\/a> can quickly stop unauthorized access. It freezes credit card, bank, and utility accounts and prevents thieves from opening new ones in your name.<\/p>\n

Rounding things out, you also have transaction monitoring features. They track transactions on credit cards and bank accounts \u2014 shooting you a notice if unusual activity occurs. They also track retirement accounts, investments, and loans for questionable transactions. Finally, further features can help prevent a bank account takeover and keep others from taking out short-term payday loans in your name.<\/p>\n

You can lock down your privacy.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Several features get the job done. Our Social Privacy Manager<\/a> helps you adjust more than 100 privacy settings across your social media accounts in only a few clicks. This way, your personal info is only visible to the people you want to share it with.<\/p>\n

Another big intrusion on your privacy comes at the hands of online data brokers. They drive a multi-billion-dollar industry by collecting, batching, and selling people\u2019s personal info. To anyone. That includes hackers, spammers, and scammers who use it to their own ends. Yet you can get your info removed from some of the worst offenders out there. Personal Data Cleanup<\/a> scans data broker sites and shows you which ones are selling your personal info and helps you remove it.<\/p>\n

Another great tool for protecting your privacy comes in the form of a VPN<\/a>. As a \u201cvirtual private network,\u201d it encrypts your activity.\u202fThink of a VPN as a private tunnel for your internet traffic. It hides your\u202fsearch habits and history\u202ffrom\u202fthose who might use that info to build a profile of you \u2014 whether to serve up targeted ads or to steal personal info for identity theft. In all, a VPN gives you one of the most secure ways you can go online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
