Product Review

Affordability

McAfee Antivirus program blurs the line between a standard antivirus program and a basic security suite. All three products McAfee Plus, Internet Security, and Total Protection offer a 30-days free trial, which is obviously more than enough to decide whether you like the product or not.

Moreover, the company keeps running promotions. So, if you are lucky, you may be able to purchase a package with a huge discount. The 2019 McAfee products are compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 operating systems.

As for its affordability, McAfee may not be the highest-scoring antivirus program out there, but it still manages to offer an outstanding value for money. There are plenty of extra features even with the most basic package.

Reliability

The primary concern when it comes to antiviruses is security. In general, there are two basic areas where they need to prove their worth – a) regular routine scanning for viruses and b) the advanced process of real-time protection in the background.

Does McAfee impress or disappoint? According to lab test results by independent third-party companies, McAfee performed impeccably in the traditional virus detection tests. But in the real-time scanning process, the product fell a bit behind and managed to achieve average results. However, its performance is still solid compared to most rivals in the market.
