FAQs

These answers might help.

First, check the website of the company offering the antivirus, especially if a brand you have not heard of is promoting a free antivirus download. Verify that the company is real and reputable, and if its website is safe and secure. Malicious websites or virus-infected applications and devices often offer fake or rogue antivirus software through pop-up ads. You can use a web protection service like the one included in McAfee Total Protection to help you avoid malicious websites.

Windows 10 offers basic protection through Microsoft Defender Antivirus. Microsoft Windows Defender improves and evolves continuously to compete against other third-party, built-in security suites. However, it lacks the comprehensive identity and privacy protection that a comprehensive online protection service provides.

Frequent lags, unusual battery drain, appearances of unknown apps, and a surge in data usage are some signs that your mobile device may have been compromised. If you experience any of these, you can run a scan on your phone using a dedicated antivirus software program to check for viruses or malware that might be hiding in your device. You can learn more about McAfee security for mobile devices here .

The free antivirus software trial offers all the features of McAfee Total Protection, such as antivirus, web protection, password manager and identity monitoring. You can even extend online protection to your mobile devices, with antivirus software on Android and System Scan on iOS

McAfee’s Virus Protection Pledge that includes our 100% Guarantee: Viruses removed or your money back, available with auto-renewal.* For more information, see here.

Go to your My Account to cancel your free antivirus subscription or change the auto-renewal settings seven days before the free trial period ends.

Your free antivirus trial is good for 30 days. We’ll add any remaining days left on your trial to your subscription if you decide to continue with your subscription purchase.

McAfee Total Protection is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile devices, and we offer antivirus software for Android, Apple, Windows, and other operating systems. To see a complete list of compatible operating systems, visit our System Requirements page.
