McAfee Live Safe 2021, Unlimited Devices, Antivirus Internet and Identity Security Software, 1 Year Subscription $29.99

Awful software. Only helps if your computer is running too fast

Was looking for antivirus for multiple devices. Guess they got my business for a year. Anyone know if I can buy multiple for multiple years?

I have been using McAfee for five years now , will not use anything else.

Both my laptops are almost 5/6 years old

Most of these anti-virus software's do nothing but bloat your PC. You don't really need anything more than Windows Defender and Malware Bytes.

Unless you visit sketchy sites and download almost anything and everything, definitely won't be needing McAfee.

A post like this is almost a rite of passage for any antivirus threads.

I was gonna reply and say this.

All you need are Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. The rest is common sense.

If you are gonna torrent, use virustotal before opening torrent files, and download from reputable public torrent trackers like 1 3 3 7 x.to, for example. There are a bunch of others.

I see no difference between virus and McAfee except latter you consent. It's like hire a gangster to protect from other gang

Does malwarebytes have a free version?

Mcafee is fine, it does not bloat your pc nor does it slow it down, i have been using it for years as well. intel owns Mcafee
try HitmanPro works better then malwarebytes

This software is good at checking front and back, pls see the results.

Is there still that 1990's McAfee FTP site with licensed versions?

Thumbs up if you know what I am taking about!

For those of you who have Bell internet, McAfee is FREE:

R.I.P McAffee

McAfee could pay me $29.99/yr and I still wouldn't install it.

Absolutely agree! Why pay for something which already comes with Windows? I don't see any advantage to add any bloatware to my PC. I actually didn't install McAfee, although it came free with my new Dell PC.

$29/yr for them to use your computer to mine crypto, no thanks.

Well, at least it usually beats Windows Defender in the anti virus tests.
So, you have that going for you.

Realistically, you're probably using it because it came with your computer or you work for a company that uses Mcafee.
Get off of Mcafee. It stopped being good many, many years ago.

I moved my clients off of Mcafee at least 10 years ago and never looked back.

Lol.
