Is McAfee a good antivirus?

No, my son has repeatedly been charged falsely by Mcafee. Hundreds of dollars on an account he canceled in 2019. STAY AWAY!

no, i sorta maybe installed malware on accident and mcafee did random things (while i didnt even had it before the malware). it changed whole settings and after i got it my laptop crashed 3 times.

I have a feeling that John Mcafee is the one suppyling the viruses.

i never used it , and never even touched it, every since i got a virus. I fixed it, its been giving me these notfications, saying subscription failed. any tips, or what should i do??, and to answer your question, dont.

I just got a message saying my subscription expired on 8/16/2024 so I feel like it’s a scam

why is mcaffe bad my mom is honest and they stopped scamming bcz my mom told them

No. It was never good.

No. Why do you say Avast is garbage?

God no it is itself adware (technically a virus but just annoys you until you buy a subscription)

Download

Kaspersky or Bitdefender

Both have free options

My definition of a virus: A program that installs itself against your will and/or knowledge, pesters you for money, and requires a third party program to uninstall it. McAfee checks all 3 boxes.

It is worse than a virus

NO!! Socks. Resource hog. Misses threats. Impossible tobremove.

Whatever tickles your fancy. I personally love McAfee as an antivirus, and I can confirm that it can make your computer run slow at some points (especially if 1. You have Real Time Scanning activated. 2. You have an extremely low-end personal computer.) But, overall it works pretty well.

No, the first step if it comes pre-installed is to uninstall and activate Defender/MSE.

if your new laptop comes with mcafee subscription then definitely use it till it expires

its a good antivirus ,check independent antivirus test ,it showed that is good as bitdefender or Kaspersky in terms of detection rate

The concept of an antivirus is dated. Some even argue if was never needed in the first place.

Now your Windows OS comes with Windows Defender. That plus your standard firewall is enough.

I suggest other AV solutions such as kaspersky, bitdefender, eset, f-secure and norton
McAfee won’t let you rest with it’s pop ups everywhere

no. Kaspersky, malwarebytes, avira are just a few good ones

Avast is far, far better than McAfee. Lmao

They SUCK ASS thru will rip you off and continue doing so for years
