<strong>McAfee antivirus makes online protection easy</strong>
Get continuous protection from phishing, viruses, hackers, and ransomware. Your security also includes alerts before connecting to risky websites. It’s simple to install and use with 1-click fixes to help you and your family stay safer online.
<strong>Protecting your devices and personal data</strong>
Most antivirus software programs download updates automatically when you are online. This helps ensure that your protection is always up to date. We recommend that you enable real-time scanning to make sure that there are no lapses in your protection. In addition, you can schedule system scans in advance for times that work best for you.
<strong>Online protection beyond just antivirus</strong>
Adopting a more complete security solution goes beyond strictly PC antivirus. Protecting the expansive aspects of your digital life covers a wide spectrum of devices – including your PCs, Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices – all of which are key pillars supporting your connected lifestyle. Strong security software that provides the right level of protection for each device is a great start to ensuring your busy life is protected, and more importantly, uninterrupted.
But life doesn’t start and end with devices alone. Having personal protection also involves your identity and privacy, particularly when it comes to the services you trust with your personal information and your data going to and from the internet. Adopting a VPN solution, regularly deleting cookies and adopting an identity monitoring service can all help to stay on top of your identity and privacy that extends beyond your devices. While you can control your security and best practices, unfortunately, you don’t have much control over what happens to your data once it’s on the internet, nor can you control when companies that you entrust your data to may get breached and leak personal info onto marketplaces like those on the Dark Web.
