At its core, McAfee^® Total Protection provides our award-winning antivirus to defend against viruses, online threats and ransomware with both cloud-based online and offline protection. Beyond your Windows PCs, McAfee^® Total Protection provides cross-device protection that extends your peace of mind to your Macs and iOS/Android mobile devices, so you can enjoy security at home and on-the-go across all your compatible devices.

McAfee^® WebAdvisor web protection enables you to sidestep attacks before they happen with clear warnings of risky websites, links and files, so you can browse, shop and bank with confidence.

PC Optimization features help your PC go faster while ensuring you still have top-notch security. Web Boost helps rescue both your battery and bandwidth from distracting auto-play videos by automatically pausing them. And with App Boost, apps that you’re actively working on will automatically receive a boost in resources, so you can get the job done faster.

Available with McAfee^® Total Protection for 10 devices, McAfee^® Safe Family provides robust parental controls for your kids’ Windows PCs and Android/iOS devices. Packed with useful features, Safe Family gives you an extra set of hands to juggle your kids’ digital lives, from helping them build good habits to managing their app usage and online time. You can even keep track of their location when they’re getting some much-needed outdoor time.

Because much of your digital life exists in files on your computer, you can use McAfee^® QuickClean™, File Lock and Shredder™ to manage your privacy. Use McAfee QuickClean to remove temporary files and cookies to reclaim storage space and minimize exposure. File Lock allows you to create password-protected encrypted drives on your PC that only appear when you’ve unlocked them, perfect for storing sensitive files like tax returns and financial documents. And finally, when you’re looking to dispose of sensitive files, McAfee Shredder securely deletes files so that would-be thieves can’t put the pieces back together.

Our passwords are the keys to our digital kingdom. Take the guesswork out of creating and remembering complex passwords with our password manager, which can store, auto-fill and even generate unique complex passwords. For added convenience, you can access your shared passwords on your PC and mobile devices with a single account.

Many vulnerabilities on your PC are due to out-of-date apps. With Vulnerability Scanner, you can update Windows and your apps from one place, streamlining Windows and application updates with a single tool that scans and installs critical updates.

Just say “no” to inbox-clogging junk mail by using our built-in spam filter for Microsoft® Outlook to remove junk mail before it reaches your inbox.

Once McAfee^® Total Protection is installed, you’ll be able to scan for viruses and quarantine/remove them.

When you open McAfee^® Total Protection for the first time after installing, you’ll be greeted by a guided tour that will help you run scans and discover capabilities.

McAfee^® Total Protection is available in three packages: for the individual, which covers one device; the multi-device package, which covers five devices; and the household package, which covers ten devices. McAfee software is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android devices.

When you are enrolled in auto-renew, 30 days before your subscription is scheduled to expire, the credit card on file for your account is automatically billed, and your subscription is extended for another year.

If your auto-renewal has been disabled, you will receive a message 30 days before expiry to inform you that your license is about to expire. You can then choose to renew your license for another year or purchase an upgrade.

If the McAfee^® Total Protection subscription expires, your software and security will deactivate. Once your antivirus software's subscription has reached its expiration date, you’ll need to decide whether to resubscribe, purchase another solution or install a free solution. Otherwise, your computer will become susceptible to numerous virus threats.

McAfee Safe Connect VPN uses bank-grade AES 256-bit encryption to keep your browsing information and online habits protected at home and on-the-go. While convenient, connecting to public Wi-Fi can expose your sensitive data such as your physical location, banking account credentials and credit card information to prying eyes.

Much like a firewall protects the data on your computer, a VPN protects your activity by encrypting (or scrambling) your data when you connect to the internet from a remote or public location so you can hide IP address and online activity.

It's legal to use a VPN in most countries, including the U.S., however:

• Anything that's illegal without a VPN remains illegal when using one (e.g. torrenting copyrighted material).
• VPNs are banned by a few countries including China, Russia, Iraq and North Korea.

McAfee Safe Connect VPN includes five devices, and is compatible with Windows, iOS and Android devices. However, the free version of the McAfee Safe Connect only supports one device and is limited to 250MB of data per month.

McAfee Safe Connect supports iOS 9.0 or later (iOS 13 included), Android 4.4 or higher (Android 10 included) and Microsoft Windows 10*, 8.1, and 8 (32-bit and 64bit)

*Windows Enterprise not supported.
