Title: Very simple to activate and upload to your McAfee account!
Review: I didn't know that we could just purchase an annual McAfee Total Protection subscription from Amazon and add the 25-digit code to my McAfee account! In the past, not knowing better, I just paid the exorbitant fee to renew directly with McAfee or let it auto-renew even though doing so was very expensive. (They get you first with a really low introductory rate and then with each renewal, the annual price goes up a lot!) So now that I know I can buy the 1-year subscription to McAfee Total Protection directly from Amazon, I get the best/lowest price and activate the code directly on the McAfee website. THANK YOU, Amazon, for saving me lots of money!In addition, activating and adding the 25-digit code was quick and straightforward. I just followed Amazon's "how to install" directions that came with the code (in your Amazon software library), and voilà, I now have 365 more days of protection.

Title: Used for years
Review: We used to use Norton, but switched to McAfee several years ago after talking to an IT guy at work. It was easy to install and appears to work well and protect our privacy. We recently got WiFi as we’re very rural. The software will recognize our wifi and ask if it is trusted. I don’t know why it doesn’t retain this wifi. I’ve even renamed it, but it keeps wanting me to “certify” it. That’s the only downside that I’ve seen.I wish it was compatible with our Kindle Fires.

Title: Does not work with Mac Big Sur and Monterey
Review: Updates:Q&A says "version 4.10.0.0 or later of McAfee security software for macOS" would work with Big Sur. My version is 4.11 and still not working. I have Big Sur and recently Monterey, but errors kept saying "At Risk" for more than a year since the previous subscription, that gives an impression of Mcafee is not working as advertised. I did uninstall and install a few times but nothing improved. Identify protection says data was bleached and I have to change the account password, but I do not have any account there.What is working:Real time scanning, Automatic updates, Scheduled scans, Part of identify protection (Identity protection score) - go to your web account>Access your identity protection service. it does not slow my Mac down, while Norton slows it down.What is not working:Firewall, VPN in Mac (it says available but no function anywhere that is supposed to be), The early 2021 iOS app does not come with VPN; VPN comes with only the latest 2021 app, so it was not available until recently. Part of identify protection (Web protection), Web advisor (an error says at risk)May be or may not be working:Subscription (says your subscription was expired repeatedly before the expiration date- it is annoying to see the message "you are not protected"), iOS protection (iphone app looked like protecting initially, but it kept giving strange messages, including "no subscription" or "6 month subscription" when I have one year subscription.Confusing is that unlimited VPN does NOT come with unlimited device subscription. I used up limited VPN in a few days, so it is useless. MCafee safe browsing is given an option that turns on as needed, but when I use it, Safari gets very slow and does not load some of the websites. To get an unlimited VPN, you have to get + VPN subscription (for example, 10 devices + VPN).---I have used this for a long time and bought this again for this year. Pros: McAfee has been the only one that does not slow down my computer. I tried Norton but it made it very slow. Others have other problems. The price is ok.Cons: It does not look like working as computer protection soft. It gives me various errors, "subscription expired (this is new)", "firewall not working with Big Sur", "need access to the computer (it does have full access)." The main functions are not working and I am not sure about the other functions.

Title: Peace of mind when online
Review: Have used McAfee products for many years & have had no problems with online hacking ... I hope to keep that record intact! haha I install McAfee on all our computers (desktop, laptop) as well as our cell phones, because we also access the internet from our cell phones, especially if away from the house.Price is reasonable but we purchase a new plan each year, rather than the automatic renewal which is always more expensive.My only complaint are the frequent notices that "your computer might be at risk" followed by "upselling" of another protection plan to "fix" that concern. If my current plan doesn't provide protection from that issue, why does McAfee offer a lesser plan that is apparently capable of detecting a (potential) problem but isn't capable of FIXING the problem?? That's the annoying part. However, I hear the same complaints about Norton, so apparently that's the norm for antivirus programs ... fear-mongering & constant upselling.

Title: Don't get caught up in subscriptions
Review: Buy a new copy every year through Amazon and it is a crap load cheaper than having a subscription with these antivirus companies. They take advantage of you when you just auto renew every year. It's stupid.

Title: Was originally pleased with product
Review: Product is good for the Money. My biggest complaint is that it’s constantly asking me to upgrade to include other products. It’s not every so often. It’s every time I go in to my computer. It is too much and it makes me doubt their product that I did purchase.
