MCAFEE INTERNET SECURITY SUITE 2015 PLUS
McAfee Antivirus Plus contains a surprising number of features that go beyond merely protecting against malware. It looks like this feature may need tuning. When I tested with hand-modified versions of real-world ransomware, it definitively identified one as ransomware, totally missed another, and flagged the rest as generic malware. In the case of a ransomware attack, it quarantines the attack and restores the files. When it detects a whiff of illegitimate "file transformation," it backs up files that might be affected. New in this edition, Ransom Guard adds a layer of protection against ransomware. In testing with 100 very new phishing sites, McAfee achieved 100 percent protection, a feat recently also matched by Kaspersky's security software. WebAdvisor also steers users away from phishing sites, fraudulent sites that try to steal your login credentials for banks, finance sites, and even gaming and dating sites. A protection rate of 97 percent is very good, but Norton eked out 98 percent, and Bitdefender Internet Security rules this test with 99 percent. The WebAdvisor browser plugin deflected 10 percent of them, and its download-checker eliminated another 87 percent. It detected 93 percent of my samples and earned 9.3 points, sharing the top spot with F-Secure and Cylance.Ĭhallenged with a collection of 100 malware-hosting URLs, McAfee defended the test system in two ways. Rather, it waits until they try to launch and silently quarantines any malware. In my own hands-on malware protection tests, I learned that McAfee doesn't scan files merely on access. Kaspersky Internet Security earned perfect scores in the latest tests by all four labs, and Bitdefender came close. Tested by MRG-Effitas, McAfee earned decent scores, but most others did better. In three tests by AV-Comparatives, it earned two Advanced+ ratings and one Advanced. It aced tests by AV-Test Institute, with 18 of 18 possible points. After spotty results for a few years, McAfee seems to be doing better. Three of the four independent labs I follow include McAfee in their testing. Even if you don't use more than 10 licenses, it just feels good to know there's no limit. Bitdefender and Kaspersky give you five licenses for that price, and Symantec Norton Security Premium lets you have 10 for $109.99 per year. That's a lot of protection for $89.99 per year. Unless this combination of components perfectly fits your needs, you're better off sticking with the less expensive McAfee AntiVirus Plus.Īll the products in McAfee's security lineup include protection for every Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS device in your household. And these components haven't significantly grown or evolved since last year. Not every user requires parental control, or spam filtering.

Password management is a universal need, but McAfee's offering isn't one of our top choices. Indeed, while the added features in McAfee Internet Security are welcome additions, they don't add value for everyone. You might think there's not much left to add to distinguish its security suite. This year's edition adds ransomware protection and a PC speed booster. McAfee packs an amazing number of useful features into its standalone antivirus product.
