Safety has a feeling all its own, and that\u2019s what\u2019s at the heart of <\/span>McAfee+<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We created McAfee+ so people can not only <\/span>be<\/span> safe but <\/span>feel <\/span><\/i>safe online, particularly in a time when there\u2019s so much concern about identity theft and invasion of our online privacy.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And those concerns have merit. Last year, <\/span>reported cases of identity theft and fraud in the U.S. shot up to 5.7 million, to the tune of $5.8 billion in losses<\/span><\/a>, a 70% increase over the year prior. Meanwhile, <\/span>online data brokers continue to buy and sell highly detailed personal profiles<\/span><\/a> with the data cobbled together from websites, apps, smartphones, connected appliances, and more, all as part of <\/span>a global data-gathering economy estimated at well over $200 billion a year.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet despite growing awareness of the ways personal information is collected, bought, sold, and even stolen, it remains a so<\/span>mewhat invisible problem. You simply don\u2019t see it as it happens, let alone know who\u2019s collecting what information about you and toward what ends\u2014whether legal, illegal, or somewhere in between. A recent study we conducted showed that 74% of consumers are concerned about keeping their personal information private online. Yet, most of us have found out the hard way (when we search for our name on the internet) that there is a lot of information about us that has been made public. It is our belief that every individual should have the right to be private, yet we know too many individuals don\u2019t know where to begin. It is this very worry that made us focus our new product line on empowering our users to take charge of their privacy and identity online.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McAfee+ gives you that control.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now available in the U.S., <\/span>McAfee+<\/span><\/a> provides all-in-one online protection for your<\/span> identity, privacy, and security. With McAfee+, you\u2019ll feel safer online because you\u2019ll <\/span>have the tools, guidance and support to take the steps to be\u00a0safer online. Here\u2019s how:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
