I feel more confident checking emails knowing that McAfee is actively working to block threats and secure my information. ----- ### "Haven't Had Any Breaches - Guess it Works\!" — 5.0/5 > **Benjamin** | *20 June 2024* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Non-intrusive system. Just check to make sure it's activated and works in background. It will occasionally pop-up when you try to open an attachment, but better safe than sorry and it seems to learn what you regularly use. > > **Cons**: I haven't had to deal with it much as it seems to work. No complaints. ----- ### "McAfee Security" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *22 April 2021* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: At the current market place McAfee Security become very competitive. They have improve their faster loading software and now rewarded by customer in comparison to Norton > > **Cons**: Very difficult to uninstall, once you haver a paid service. They try to get the customer back with app and email system. > > Overall I think, McAfee Security has lot of potential when it comes to security. ----- ### "Excellent Security" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *17 August 2021* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Keeps my important data safe. Excellent spam protection. No fear of emails being hacked. The software identifies potential threats and filters them out. Don't be fooled, there are cheaper option out there, but you get what you pay for. McAfee is always evolving to keep up with hackers who consistently find new ways to steal your sensitive information and send emails that look very convincing while being loaded with viruses. After the pandemic hit, my office sent employees home to work. in the end many of us continued to work from home for convenience. This software is not on both my work laptop as well las my personal desktop. McAfee will keep you safe from opening a harmful email, protect personal information from hackers and prevent you from being locked out of your email account if a hacker has gained access to your personal or work email. Potential spam will be sent to junk folder where you will have a Notification of potential spam. If you do recognize the sender you can still access the email. I was not surprised at the quality of this software because McAfee has a great reputation and is a leader in computer security. the software updates regularly so you are never paying for outdated software. > > **Cons**: On occasion you may find that a non-threatening email may be wrongfully identified. I have had this happen a couple of times. A small inconvenience considering the high level of security being offered. As I mentioned you can still open emails marked as spam if you recognize the sender and once added to your contacts they will go directly to inbox in the future. > > My overall experience is excellent. Honestly I never think about security because I know the software is working properly and updating regularly. ----- ### "Not a big fan of McAffe" — 2.0/5 > **John** | *26 May 2021* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: For some people this program may be just the thing for them. It is easy to use and simple to run. > > **Cons**: I personally am not a big fan of this program does not take care of the needs that I am looking for.
