Features and Benefits

Complete Anti-virus, Anti-spyware, and Anti-malware
Relentless security software scans and blocks dangerous emails, risky web content, and online threats like viruses, Trojans, spyware, and rootkits.

Real-time Safeguards
Cybercriminals are masters of disguise. McAfee Active Protection™ immediately looks at suspicious material and determines its risk to help keep your computer secure.

Two-way Firewall
Extra layers of Internet security software block bad guys breaking in or sneaking out with your personal information. This traffic cop patrols nonstop to prevent malicious software from gaining access to your PC.

Safe Searching and Shopping
Color-coded icons next to your search results let you know before you click which sites are safe and which may install malicious code, phish for your identity, or send you spam.

Fast Start-Up and Scan Times
We invest in performance to help you enjoy your digital life to the limit—surfing, shopping, and socializing with minimal interruptions.

Digital Data Shredder
Permanently destroy sensitive files to be sure they cannot be retrieved by other users when you donate, recycle, lend or upgrade your PC.

PC Tune-up
Unused applications, cached browser files, and other junk slow down your PC. McAfee QuickClean™ software removes the clutter so your computer can keep up with your digital life.

NEW Exclusive Anti-bot Protection
McAfee now blocks stealthy botnet software by denying its attempts to connect your PC to web addresses that belong to crooks. This extra defense helps prevent your computer from sending out your personal information to Internet crime networks.

NEW USB and Removable Drive Scan
Portable storage devices can be infected in their travels, spreading malicious code from system to system. McAfee scans and blocks this portable payload of viruses, Trojans, and worms before it can wriggle into your PC and your network.

NEW Pre-install Scan
Many people get McAfee protection because they are already infected. To help you salvage your system, McAfee works to remove infections as our software installs.
