Product description
This antivirus and privacy suite protects up to three devices for 15 months, combining traditional malware defence with VPN access and identity monitoring to help keep everyday online activities safer. It suits users who want device protection alongside tools for safe browsing and scam detection while connected to public Wi-Fi.
Key Points
McAfee Total Protection includes an antivirus engine powered by McAfee Smart AI that scans for new and evolving threats, with real-time protection for files and applications. The package adds a Secure VPN to encrypt your connection when using public networks, reducing the risk of interception and helping to protect banking and shopping sessions. There is a scam detection feature that uses AI to flag risky texts, emails and manipulated media aimed at stealing personal information.
Password Manager is included to generate and store complex credentials, which helps reduce password reuse across accounts. Identity monitoring watches for potential leaks of email addresses, IDs and phone numbers and notifies you if an issue is detected, according to the manufacturer. Customer support is available from McAfee for setup and troubleshooting.

Usage Recommendations
Install the software on the primary devices you use for banking and shopping, such as a laptop and smartphone, to ensure the VPN and browsing protections run where they are most needed. Run an initial full scan after installation and enable automatic updates so the antivirus receives the latest threat signatures. Use the Password Manager to replace reused passwords with stronger, unique ones and store them securely.
Bear in mind that subscription auto-renewal requires a payment method and renewal pricing may change according to McAfee’s terms. The identity monitoring alerts are useful for early detection, but consider pairing them with regular manual checks of important accounts for added peace of mind.
