McAfee Internet Security Review (2016) ​

An overview of the comprehensive antivirus McAfee Internet Security (2016). The solution allows you to install protection on all Windows and Mac home computers, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices, and includes a new True Key password manager
Many years ago, the issue of computer security was solved very simply. The user installed an anti-virus package on the only family computer, and the problem was solved. Advanced users bought a license for 3 devices if there was a need to install protection on their parents' laptops. Today the picture has seriously changed. Your family may have more devices than you initially estimated, and they may all be using different operating systems. But don't worry, for just $79.99 McAfee Internet Security (2016) allows you to install protection on all Windows and Mac home computers, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices, and includes a new True Key password manager .
McAfee leads the industry in providing cross-platform, multi-device protection with McAfee All Access, now McAfee LiveSafe. A subscription to protect all devices is now available for all vendor products, including McAfee AntiVirus Plus (2016).

The main window of the program does not visually differ from last year's version and strongly resembles the standalone McAfee antivirus. Large panels show the current status of various protection components, and clicking on the panels gives the user access to the corresponding tasks. A separate page "Navigation" provides access to all the program's functions in the form of a simple list.

The main window of the program is no longer the home page. When you click on the “Home” link, a list of all protected devices and a button for expanding protections are displayed. There is a button to search for devices on your home network that don't already have McAfee protection installed. Thus, the process of adding McAfee antivirus products to other devices is as simple as possible.

General antivirus protection

McAfee's standalone starter antivirus includes a wide range of additional tools in addition to direct antivirus protection. In this review, we will simply briefly list the common features and dwell in more detail on the unique features of Internet Security.

McAfee's results in lab tests range from good to very good. ICSA Labs and West Coast Labs have certified McAfee's antivirus technology for virus detection and removal, and the product received a score of 17.5 out of 18 in the latest AV-Test report. AV-Comparatives awarded McAfee the highest ADVANCED+ rating in two tests and STANDARD in another. Dennis Technology Labs certified McAfee with an AA rating, which is one step below the maximum rating.

Kaspersky Internet Security (2016) and Bitdefender Internet Security 2016 continue to receive top marks from independent antivirus labs.

In its own amateur malware blocking tests, McAfee found 89 percent of the samples and scored 8.8 points. Three solutions showed the same result at once: Kaspersky, Panda Internet Security 2016 and ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus+ Firewall 2016. In the Malicious Link Blocking test, McAfee scored the highest and outperformed the average by two times. Antivirus successfully blocked 91 percent of online threats.

McAfee also performed well in the anti-phishing test, outperforming the built-in content filters of Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and only 2 percentage points behind the benchmark Symantec Norton Security. Bitdefender is the only product that Norton was able to beat in this test.

Other General Features

McAfee Internet Security (2016) includes all the advanced features found in the entry-level antivirus, such as a vulnerability scanner, a file shredder, and a cleanup tool to remove traces of Internet activity. WebAdvisor includes all the features of its predecessor, SiteAdvisor. The component notifies you when you visit potentially dangerous sites and flags dangerous or suspicious links. WebAdvisor includes advanced options, for example, it can notify you when you access the Internet with antivirus protection disabled.

A simple McAfee firewall tries not to interfere with user activity. By default, the component independently makes decisions about network access permissions for each program. The firewall has successfully put all system ports into stealth mode. Although the firewall does not attempt to block exploit attacks at the network level, the antivirus was able to remove the malware load in about a third of the tested threats. The only complaint is the poor protection against direct targeted attacks. During testing, 8 out of 13 protection services were closed.

The My Home Network component displays all devices connected to the network and identifies whether they have McAfee protection installed. After completing the linking process, the user will be able to remotely view the protection status of other McAfee installations and fix issues with a single click.

The complete solution and standalone antivirus offer the same level of protection for platforms other than Windows. Both products allow you to install McAfee Security & Antivirus Premium on all Android devices. This full-featured mobile antivirus offers antivirus protection, anti-theft features and an app privacy level display tool. If you share the same device with your child, you can set up an app launch lock with a PIN or set up different user profiles. Other features include a battery optimizer, web protection, and a home page that displays the current protection status.

Mac users can install McAfee Internet Security. Keep in mind that despite its name, the Mac product is feature-limited compared to the Windows antivirus. The solution offers only antivirus protection, firewall and WebAdvisor.

The solution for protecting iOS devices has also been functionally reduced. One of the reasons is Apple's restrictions, which prevent not only the spread of malicious applications, but also the development of antivirus products for this platform. Anti-theft allows you to locate or wipe the data on a stolen iPhone, as well as play a loud, annoying siren. However, during testing, it was not possible to start the siren. A McAfee representative confirmed the issue. The application also allows you to back up contacts and optionally move photos to a PIN-protected vault.

High-precision spam protection

When you open the antispam settings in McAfee Internet Security, you will find a huge number of configuration options. In the “Spam protection levels” section, you can switch the sensitivity of the spam filter. The default setting is Best Mode, which offers a balance between blocking unwanted emails and minimizing false blocking of trusted personal messages. If you have a small number of senders of important emails, select Closed mode, which will block any messages from users not listed in your friends list.

Depending on the email client you are using, you can quickly populate your list of trusted contacts by importing data from your address book. This feature works for Windows Address Book, Eudora, Thunderbird and some other email programs.

Using the toolbar that McAfee installs in Outlook or Thunderbird, the user can add the sender of a message to their friends list. Other buttons on the panel allow you to unblock messages that were mistakenly sent to the spam folder and vice versa, add messages to spam that were passed by the filter. Other features include the ability to block emails written with a specific character set and set rules for messages containing specific words or phrases.

If you are using an alternative email client (not Outlook or Thunderbird), you will not have access to these toolbar buttons. You will need to create a rule to redirect messages marked as or to the Junk Email folder.

The most unusual feature of McAfee's spam filter is the ability to filter messages in an online email account. For the function to work, the user must specify complete information about POP3 or IMAP accounts, including the server address, port, account name and password. At set intervals, McAfee logs into your account, analyzes the messages it finds, and moves potential spam to a kind of quarantine. The user can view blocked messages on the spam filter page in the antivirus window.

High efficiency spam filter

Antispam in McAfee has a large number of configuration options, but the default settings were left for testing purposes. The spam filter in McAfee failed to be very accurate despite no tweaks.

When downloading thousands of messages from a real spam-infected email account, the average download time of 1000 messages with and without active protection is measured. McAfee slowed downloads by 75 percent, a non-normal user is unlikely to notice a slowdown.

When the download was completed, all messages older than 30 days were excluded, and the remaining letters were sorted into three categories: personal letters, promotional mailings and unconditional spam. Messages that did not belong to any of these categories were discarded.

McAfee only allowed 3.7 percent of spam, which is a good result. The product mistakenly blocked only 0.3 personal messages, although this figure can be reduced when using the friends list. Trend Micro Internet Security 2016 missed slightly more spam, but sent even fewer personal messages to the spam folder. Bitdefender leads the test with just 1.8 percent of spam.

True Key Password Manager

In the 2016 version, a separately installed True Key password manager was added. One True Key subscription allows you to install and use the tool on all your personal devices and sync data between them. McAfee LiveSafe includes five True Key licenses, which means five family members can have their own True Key accounts. McAfee Password Manager currently includes support for Internet Explorer and Chrome, while support for Firefox is under development.

To get started, sign in to your McAfee website and download True Key. Then you need to create an account, a master password and a passphrase. If your email address is linked to a PasswordBox PremiumFree account, you will have a chance to import your data. However, in this case, a warning is displayed that the credential exchange and digital heritage transfer features are not present in True Key. As for importing data from competing products or from browsers, these features are planned but not yet implemented.

Initially, True Key displays a list of popular sites, including Facebook. Twitter and Dropbox and offers to log in to them to intercept credentials. Of course, the user can ignore this offer and simply log in to other used sites. True Key can capture regular logins and supports capturing data when registering an account. In the case of new sites, the tool offers to generate a secure password. By default, True Key generates 16-character passwords with different character sets, which is more than enough in most cases.

If you run into older forms that True Key doesn't automatically recognize, you won't be able to force-grab the value of the fields, as is the case with LastPass Password Manager or Sticky Password premium.

You can fill in your True Key wallet with personal data: addresses, credit card details and passports. However, the personal data manager does not know how to automatically fill in web forms with this data. It's just storage.

True Key Profile

The main advantages of a password manager are revealed in the so-called True Key profile. Meaning this profile is to perform secure authentication without relying solely on the master password.

The profile reliability page shows concentric circles. which give a visual representation of the protection of your data. During the initial setup, the user activates two circles: creating a master password and automatically identifying the protected device as trusted.

If you add the email address factor, True Key will send a confirmation message every time you try to sign in to your account from an untrusted device. You can use a second device for authentication. In this case, the temporary digital code that is used in Duo MobileFree or Twilio Authy will not be used. The user will simply receive a notification on the second device and verify their identity with a simple swipe.

But that is not all! If your device has a front camera, you can add face recognition as an authentication method. When tested on a laptop, it turned out that the function requires good lighting to work correctly, and displaying the screen with glasses can cause access problems. However, there are tweaking options that fix this issue. In advanced face recognition, you must turn your head from side to side to prevent photo authentication from being attempted. McAfee offers nice bonus: Sign in to Windows using your face.

After setting up and selecting authentication factors, including face recognition, you can choose how you want to use them by selecting blocking options. In basic mode, you can choose to authenticate with a trusted device or with a master password. When choosing the “Advanced” mode, authorization will require the presence of three factors: a trusted device, a person, a master password, or a second device.

Do you hate master passwords? Then you will like the second mode. The combination of facial recognition and access to two personal devices is a safe measure. If the room is too dark to recognize your face, and you forgot your phone at home, you can access it the old fashioned way, using a master password.

A new major update of True Key is planned for October 2015. Owners of a comprehensive antivirus license will automatically receive the update, and the product will become available as a standalone tool.

Parental control

Parental controls in this product have not changed compared to last year's version, which means that it still performs only basic tasks. For each child account, the user can set up blocking access to unwanted sites and limit the time of using the network. That's all.

The content filter is quite effective. Security cannot be disabled with the usual network commands that some other products are successful in, and support for working with HTTPS prevents attempts to bypass control through an anonymous proxy server. When you try to visit dangerous sites on supported sites, the browser displays a pop-up warning.

Parents can set a weekly schedule for children using the network with an hourly breakdown by day. The user interface of this function remained inconvenient. When viewed on the screen, only seven hours are in the visible area; to set the remaining time intervals, you need to scroll manually. Kaspersky, Bitdefender and many other products can replicate the daily schedule for all days of the week, for example, set up access blocking every day from midnight to 6 am. McAfee only allows you to configure one day separately. On the positive side, children will not be able to bypass restrictions by changing the system date and time.

A simple reporting system allows you to view the activity of a child or several children for all time or for a certain period. Incomplete report: You can only see the domain names for sites that have had the most access attempts. McAfee doesn't add internet access attempts at prohibited times to the event log.

These are all the parental control options in this solution. Here you will not find advanced features such as real-time alerts, chat control in messengers, remote configuration or cross-platform configuration. If your purposes require powerful system parental controls, consider Kaspersky, Bitdefender, or Norton.

Little impact on performance

When testing McAfee, no serious slowdown in system performance was noticed. Like Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus (2015), Kaspersky and Bitdefender, the product had no measurable impact on PC boot time.

PCMag: Benchmark Results

More importantly, the antivirus did not seriously slow down the work with files. When running a script that moves a large collection of large files between drives, McAfee only slowed down file operations by 18 percent. Of course, this is not zero, but not very high either. Another script that zips and unzips a similar collection of files took only 3 percent longer to run.

In three tests, McAfee showed a 7 percent slowdown, which is better than most competitors. Note that Webroot and AVG Internet Security 2015 showed only a 1 percent slowdown.

Stuck in the middle?

McAfee Internet Security (2016) is an inconspicuous member of the McAfee product line. For $20 savings, you can purchase a standalone antivirus that will contain most of the features of the complete solution, including cross-platform support and unlimited licenses. For an extra $10, you can get McAfee Total Protection or McAfee LiveSafe, which will include useful additional tools. The product is a good choice, but its counterparts will be more profitable.

If you're looking for a cross-platform, multi-device security solution, check out our Editors' Choice in this category: Symantec Norton Security, Bitdefender Internet Security 2016, and Kaspersky Internet Security (2016). The $119.95 Bitdefender Family Pack subscription, like McAfee, provides full-featured protection for all your personal devices.

Overall rating

McAfee Internet Security (2016) includes a rich collection of different features and tools found in the original McAfee antivirus and adds antispam, limited parental controls, and an impressive password manager that supports various types of multi-factor authentication.

A huge number of anti-virus programs have been created for personal computers. The most popular are those antiviruses that primarily check Internet traffic. After all, everyone knows that it is the Internet that has the greatest threat now. Among such programs, McAfee Internet Security 2013 can be noted. This software package fights spam, hacker attacks, and downloads of malicious utilities. It also has cloud storage and parental controls.

This program is endowed with great functionality. This is not only the standard background protection against the harmful effects of hackers. Antivirus is capable of regularly backing up important data. So to speak, just in case. But this software package also has one serious drawback: it is quite expensive. For an annual license for three computers, developers ask for 1450 rubles.

How to get a license for a year

Fortunately, now this program can be obtained for free. However, for this, the developers should send your bank card number. This operation is completely secure, the number will be stored in the McAfee database and nowhere else.

To get started you need visit registration page McAfee account. Create a new account ( Create Your Account), during which you need to specify the bank card number.

Product details

What language will my program run in?

By default, the client program uses the address specified when purchasing or activating the client software to determine the working language (if this language is not supported on the computer, the program uses the closest possible language).

Why are some features of the PC product not available for Mac users?

PCs and Macs use different operating systems and therefore have different security needs. Some of the features found in McAfee's PC security products, such as anti-spam protection, are already available on the Mac operating system.

What is the difference between McAfee Total Protection and McAfee LiveSafe?

McAfee Total Protection includes McAfee File Lock, a fully integrated data encryption software that allows users to create local virtual storage on a hard drive or removable drives such as a USB drive. McAfee File Lock encrypts sensitive sensitive documents such as credit card details, bank statements, passport pages, and more, and places them in a password-protected vault on a user's computer to protect their identity from tampering, and his PC - from loss or theft. McAfee File Lock also allows users to securely transfer files using USB drives. A unique feature that distinguishes McAfee LiveSafe, secure cloud storage with Personal Locker biometric authentication, users can store their documents in secure cloud storage and access them from any device anywhere in the world. Once the files are hosted in the "cloud" storage, McAfee Personal Locker requires biometric authentication to access the data. Authentication is carried out using a combination of face recognition, voice recognition, PIN code and one-time password OTP using IPT technology. McAfee Personal Locker includes 1 GB of encrypted storage that can be accessed via the Windows 8, iOS, and Android app. McAfee LiveSafe includes one McAfee Personal Locker license per subscription.

What help and support can McAfee offer to customers?

Those who purchase a McAfee subscription receive free support for the duration of the subscription. Support is provided at no additional cost by phone, chat or email. Answers to some common questions can be found in the FAQ section.

Why McAfee?

Symantec also offers comprehensive security solutions for various types of devices. What makes McAfee 2017 products different?

McAfee first offered consumer protection for unlimited device types four years ago, when we saw a dramatic increase in the number and variety of digital devices used by consumers every day, as well as an increase in the risks associated with these devices, especially mobile devices.

This year, we've taken the next logical step by extending all of our end-to-end cross-device security solutions with protection for an unlimited number of devices, while Symantec's similar offering is still limited to a limited number of devices. As consumer digital security needs continue to change and evolve, and as the Internet of Things and wearable technologies become more widespread, McAfee will continue to develop and innovate to reimagine next-generation security technologies for an increasingly interconnected world. . McAfee remains committed to delivering innovative products that protect consumers' lives, not just their devices, personal information, and identities.

Are there competitors in the market that take the same approach to personalized consumer security and offer advanced protection for an unlimited number of devices? What makes McAfee's approach different?

We don't know of other companies that offer the same approach. Currently, only McAfee offers this solution. This is our uniqueness.

How are McAfee 2017 products different from similar competitor products that offer protection across multiple platforms?

McAfee 2017 products are solutions that provide protection for all devices owned by the user. Competitor offerings are generally limited to a limited number of devices, from 3 to 10. Additional device protection must be purchased separately, while McAfee 2017 products protect all devices owned by the user. In addition, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Total Protection, and McAfee LiveSafe include a unique and innovative application for managing all usernames and passwords on the web and on devices: McAfee's True KeyTM.

($79.99 per year) allows you to install antivirus software on every computer on Windows and Mac and on Android smartphones. This is the best deal on the market!

There are no official limits on the number of connected devices, but McAfee reserves the right to monitor for possible subscription abuse. If you decide that your household includes 50 different devices that belong to numerous great-nephews, it is likely that vendor representatives will send a polite remark that you have gone too far.

Adding Devices

First, the user needs to set up a LiveSafe account, either by ordering online or by redeeming a key from a retail outlet. If you don't have a McAfee account, you can create one in minutes. Account holders will be prompted to log in. Finally, you install McAfee on the device you are currently using. To install the product on another device, you need to send an email containing a link to the download file and open this link on the protected device. Your unique license key is already included in the downloaded distribution, so you do not need to enter anything during installation. Norton Security by Symantec and F-Secure SAFE have similar installation mechanics.

The solutions available for installation depend on the type of platform you are using. For Windows and Mac users can install complex antivirus McAfee, as well as the password manager McAfee SafeKey. You can install McAfee mobile antivirus on Android and iOS smartphones (iOS version is limited) with enhanced SafeKey protection and Personal Lock cloud-protected space. McAfee has a mobile antivirus for BlackBerry smartphones. On Kindle Fire tablets, users can install mobile antivirus and SafeKey password manager.

PC Protection

On Windows computers, McAfee LiveSafe 2015 users can install LiveSafe Internet Security, which is the equivalent of McAfee Internet Security 2015 ($49.99 per year). The only difference with the LiveSafe version is the lack of a Mozy-based backup tool. This is not a big problem, because you can get almost identical functionality in the free version of Mozy, downloaded from the official website of the system. McAfee's all-in-one antivirus didn't get an Editors' Choice award in PC Magazine's testing, but it does a pretty good job at basic protection tasks.

In general, independent antivirus laboratories give McAfee very good ratings, and the product scored the highest in its own malware blocking test. McAfee, Norton and were able to score 10 points out of 10 each against the current collection of malicious samples.

McAfee's spam filter proved to be highly effective in testing, and it has an unusual ability to block spam in mail service accounts. The firewall provided decent protection, but lacked the advanced features found in competitors such as Norton or Kaspersky Internet Security. Phishing protection in McAfee is stronger than most solutions tested. Parental control allows you to solve only basic tasks: filtering content and planning the use of the Internet.

SiteAdvisor Web Reputation flags links in results search results special icons that signal the degree of danger. Other useful features include secure deletion of sensitive files, a vulnerability scanner with automatic installation of missing updates, and a tool to remove browser traces and clean up junk system files.

Protecting Macs

McAfee LiveSafe Internet Security is a rebranded version of McAfee Internet Security for Mac.

McAfee protects Apple computers from a variety of threats, including viruses, Trojans, worms, bots, and rootkits. The antivirus scans all downloads and files transferred via e-mail or instant messaging clients. In addition, the product offers to check each connected portable drive.

Mac users also get SiteAdvisor's full-featured web reputation system, which can do much more than just identify potential link hazards. On Mac, this tool flags social media links and can be configured to block sites that are marked as unsafe. A similar SiteAdvisor LIVE feature can also be found in McAfee Total Protection 2015 . The McAfee browser plugin only supports Safari and Firefox, there is currently no Chrome integration.

The NetGuard tool protects Mac computers from connecting to suspicious servers, botnets, and other dangerous resources. The built-in software control feature determines exactly what types of network activity should be allowed for each program. The Mac version of the antivirus does not have a spam filter and parental controls, and therefore is more limited than the version for Windows devices.

Advanced Android Protection

McAfee LiveSafe mobile antivirus for Android called McAfee Mobile Security has undergone significant changes since the last review by PC Magazine. The application scans the device for malicious code, and also checks for new applications when they are installed. When a potentially dangerous application is detected, McAfee LiveSafe for Android provides detailed information about possible threat. When testing the antivirus, a full scan was performed no longer than competitors.

If your device is lost or stolen, you can log in to the LiveSafe portal and remotely lock the device, locate it, or wipe all data on it. Unlike similar products, McAfee will initiate a factory reset when you perform a cleanup. The siren feature will help you locate your device in a cluttered environment with a shrill beep. The user can call up various anti-theft functions via SMS messages or the online portal.

McAfee can backup and restore everything on your phone, including photos and videos. Admittedly, many mobile antiviruses are limited to copying contacts, and McAfee is very generous in this aspect. In addition, all backups are available through the online portal.

To protect private data, McAfee notifies the user about applications that have access to personal information. On Android smartphones, McAfee can block unwanted calls and messages. Users can set individual apps to run with a password, a unique way to prevent email, social media, and more from being tracked.

The new camera image capture feature allows you to take photos from the front camera of the device, send them to the owner of the device with the addition of geo-referenced data. The Wi-Fi security tool notifies users that they are connected to an unencrypted wireless network, and immediately terminates the connection when network ARP spoofing attacks are detected. You can send a link to protect your other devices directly from your Android gadget.

The version of LiveSafe for Kindle Fire devices is similar to the version for Android. The only difference is the lack of Personal Lock support for the Kindle Fire platform.

iOS security

The Apple operating system is inherently well protected from malicious attacks, which makes it difficult for malware developers to work. For the same reason, the development of antiviruses for iOS is also not an easy task. The iPhone and iPad version of LiveSafe is more feature-limited than the Android version.

LiveSafe for iOS does not have an anti-virus component, which is natural given the low prevalence and limited capabilities of malware for Apple devices. The user can use the LiveSafe web console to locate the device. The app can send location data before the device's battery runs out. LiveSafe doesn't let you lock your device, but it can delete all your contacts and trigger an alarm.

You can back up important photos and videos to Secure Vault, which is password protected. LiveSafe does not know how to automatically delete original files, but displays a reminder to the user about this action. If the password is entered incorrectly within three attempts, the Capture Cam function will be activated. LifeSafe sends a photo to the owner of the device by e-mail along with geotags.

This is where the functionality of the iOS version of LiveSafe ends. If you were paying for a fixed number of devices, using iOS protection would not be cost effective. Fortunately, McAfee does not limit the number of protected devices, so you can safely take advantage of the proposed protection for the mobile platform from Apple.

SafeKey password manager

LiveSafe is a simple service for managing the security of your devices. The product includes several very useful features not found in standalone McAfee antivirus solutions. In particular, the SafeKey password manager, powered by LastPass, protects and helps you manage all your passwords and fill out web forms with personal information.

Apparently, McAfee uses LastPass version 2 technologies, because. Version 3 features are not available in SafeKey. Webroot also uses a password manager powered by LastPass.

SafeKey has two important features that are missing from Webroot. First, users can enable 2-Step Verification using the Google Authenticator service, which sends special code on the smartphone every time you log in. Second, SafeKey marks the level of risk for each password, helping you replace weak and repetitive passwords.

SafeKey captures and automatically fills in passwords. The component remembers credentials every time you register for a new service or site, and the built-in password generator will help you make sure you use a complex password. Old input fields are processed manually - SafeKeys allow the user to independently select the contents of the fields on the page that need to be remembered.

A user can create multiple profiles to fill out web forms. Each profile contains personal information, contact details and financial details. In SafeKey, you can't create multiple sample fields for any field using the method used in RoboForm EveryWhere, but you can add additional fields if needed. In testing, SafeKey filled out forms very accurately.

To limit the likelihood of master password theft, you can set up authorization from a specific country or set up access to secure vault from only one device at a time.

All saved passwords are automatically synced across all Windows and Mac computers, Android and iOS devices. In addition, SafeKay data can be accessed from the online web console. On the portal you can view, edit and sort passwords from any device connected to the World Wide Web.

Although SafeKey does not have all the features introduced in the latest LastPass 3.0, the tool is an effective and more flexible password protection tool than most other password managers.

When installed on Android or iOS, SafeKey gives you full access to your saved passwords. To enter a site, simply click on it and it will open in the built-in SafeKey browser.

Personal Locker

McAfee Personal Locker is only available for Android and iOS devices. The service offers 1 gigabyte of highly secure storage for storing important documents, images, and notes. Your data is protected by three levels of authentication.

To start working with Personal Locker, you need to set up a password consisting of at least six characters. Then, you film your face with the device's camera. Just like with a passport, you don't have to smile when setting up the feature. Finally, you must read the prepared quote 4 times for voice recognition.

Now you can add notes or files to Personal Locker and save photos directly to storage. By default, each object is protected with a high level of security. this means that in order to access the facility you will need to enter passwords and go through face and voice identification. The user can set a lower level of security if necessary, limiting himself, for example, to simply entering a password.

In the test, Personal Locker was installed on an Android device, files were copied to the vault, and the security level remained high. When installing the tool on an iPhone 6, the files were accessed without problems. Face and voice recognition worked great, even though the platform was different.

Very advantageous offer

An increasing number of antivirus software vendors are moving to cross-platform solutions. Norton has been fully ported to a cross-platform base, and nine separate Symantec products have been merged into one service. For $79.99 you can get an unlimited number of McAfee LiveSafe licenses or 5 Norton licenses. By adding $10, you can afford to connect Norton to 10 devices and get an additional 25 gigabytes of cloud storage. It is difficult to imagine families for whom 10 licenses will not be enough. F-Secure comes in 3 licenses, 5 licenses, and 10 licenses for $69.99, $89.99, and $129.99, respectively.

Each cross-platform solution offers protection for PC, Mac and Android. F-Secure and McAfee also include protection for iOS, although the F-Secure app is very limited and therefore does not consume a single license. F-Secure and Kaspersky Internet Security for all devices support Windows Phone, while Kaspersky and McAfee protect Blackberry devices.

The combination of unlimited licenses and enhanced cross-platform support earns McAfee LiveSafe 2015 an Editors' Choice award from PC Magazine's online portal for cross-platform, multi-device protection. McAfee shares this title with Symantec Norton Security, which outperforms McAfee in many basic security tasks and generously offers 25 gigabytes of secure cloud space. Your final decision will depend on the tasks required, but both products are good choices.

McAfee Privacy Notice

McAfee and its family of companies (“McAfee”, “we”, “us”) are wholly owned subsidiaries of Intel Incorporated. We care deeply about your privacy and security and your safety is a significant part of our essential mission. We appreciate your decision to trust us with helping to protect your digital life from theft, disruption, and unauthorized access to your personal information and systems.

This privacy notice is designed to inform you about how your personal information is collected, managed, and used to:

• Safeguard devices and data
• Manage our relationship with you
• Improve security products and services to predict future vulnerabilities
• Protect data

By collecting and processing data, we can help to predict threats and protect you, your devices and your information. McAfee is committed to becoming as transparent as possible to help you understand how your data is processed, why it takes data to protect data, and our commitment to using the personal data we collect for the purposes discussed in this Notice. Every time you turn on a device, connect to a network or open a file, you face significant risk from hackers, spammers, malware, spyware and other forms of unauthorized access to your data. This is why it is important to use security products and services such as McAfee's.

To defend against these threats and the thousands of new threats that emerge each day, McAfee technologies may:

• Analyze data sent to your devices for signs of risk or suspicious activity in order to take corrective action
• Assess the reputation of the sending device to determine whether access should be allowed or if the transaction should be continued;
• Adapt responses to new threats based on intelligence from our global network.

Please read about our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.

scope

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information we obtain from individuals interacting with McAfee and its websites, products, services, and applications. This Notice does not apply to personal information we obtain in our capacity as an employer.

Notice

We provide access to our Privacy Notice by:

• Linking to it throughout our websites
• Referencing it in our terms of use and end user license agreements
• Incorporating it into our contracts and other legal agreements as necessary

The information we collect

McAfee collects some information that is personal (i.e., information that identifies an individual either alone or in combination with other data). McAfee also collects non-personal information that does not, on its own, identify an individual person. When non-personal information is combined with other information so that it does identify an individual person, we treat that combination as personally identifiable information.

McAfee collects personal information when you or someone acting on your behalf provides it to us. We also collect information when you obtain or use McAfee products, services or when you communicate with a device using McAfee’s services.

The following are examples of the type of personal information that may be collected, directly from you (or someone acting on your behalf)

• Contact information (including name, email address, mailing address, telephone and fax number)
• Payment information (including payment card and bank account information);
• shipping, billing and other information provided in connection with the purchase or shipment of McAfee products and services;
• Information about transactions with us (such as purchase history) and use of our products and services;
• Information provided by you through McAfee-related communication channels such as forums, technical support, and customer service;
• username, password and other information used to verify identity; and
• Photographs or other biometrics when submitted

The following are examples of the type of information that may be collected by McAfee, from your web browser or from interactions with our products and services:

• Details about your computers, devices, applications and networks (including IP address, browser characteristics, device ID and characteristics, device operating system information and system language preferences);
• activities on our websites and usage patterns of products and services; referring to URLs, dates and times of website visits, and clickstream data such as information commonly recorded in web server logs; and
• details about Internet or network usage (such as the URLs or domain names of websites you visit, information about applications that attempt to access your network, or traffic data);
• data about files and communications, such as potential malware or spam (which may include computer files, emails and attachments, email addresses, metadata and traffic data related to files and communications, or portions or hashes -- a hash file is a file that has been converted into a numerical string by a mathematical algorithm --of any of this information); this may include similar information from third parties interacting with you;
• other information used in the operation of our products and services (such as information regarding the number of checked, suspicious, infected or unwanted files or emails; the number of malware infections); and
• Information that may be included in a virus or malware sample or a file you consider to be suspicious that you submit to McAfee for review.

IP addresses

An Internet protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer, server) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It is how devices such as computers find each other on the network.

Where it is sometimes possible that IP addresses can be associated with a single individual’s system, they most often are associated with a group of systems, one system shared by many users or a gateway into a group of systems or devices. For instance, IP addresses included in an email communication are typically associated with the respective email service provider and not with your device.

McAfee security products and services, like those of many security companies, depend on IP addresses to protect your information, your devices and your privacy. For example, we may detect that a system or a group of systems associated with a particular IP address has been compromised and is sending malware or spam to some of our users.

Even without identifying who owns a compromised system or who compromised it, we can assign a score to that IP address to reflect the heightened threat it poses. Our products and services can then divert your traffic away from this IP address or block this IP address from sending malware to your McAfee-protected device before your device is a victim of an attack.

The use of IP addresses and other machine data is critical to the ability to keep security protections current, relevant and effective as cyber threats and attacks evolve over time.

McAfee protects the collection of IP addresses – regardless of whether they are associated with any particular individual’s system or a group of systems. We do not use IP addresses that our security tools gather for marketing purposes such as online behavioral advertising or to push marketing messages.

Cookies

McAfee uses “cookies” to remember user preferences and to maximize the performance of our website and services. Additionally, cookies help us to identify returning users so, for example, we don’t need to ask them to enter their email and password on every visit.

Please note the information gathered by cookies is necessary to provide some McAfee services, including certain subscriptions. We do not provide those services to users who do not give their consent to the data processing carried out through cookies or whose browsers are set to reject all cookies. For example, when you purchase a subscription to an online technology, a cookie is set that identifies the version of the protective software and when it expires. We use this information to alert you that a newer version is available or if your subscription is going to terminate and, thus, leave your system open to attack.

Cookies may also be used to control the type and/or frequency of ads, promotions, or other marketing messages the customer views. These ads may be placed by third-party advertising companies which are our vendors McAfee also uses “web beacons” (small transparent image files) to count visitors to our sites and analyze how visitors use our sites. The information collected is generally anonymized and is not used to identify any particular user.

As is common on the Internet, McAfee maintains log files of the traffic that visits our sites. For example, our servers may automatically record the information you or your browser send when you visit a website. These log files may include information such as your requests, IP address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your system.

Use of the Personal Information we collect

McAfee uses the information it collects in ways that serve your security and privacy needs, including the following:

• Provide threat prediction and protection products and services;

Product Update and Reporting

Our products and services may also process certain data to provide updates and reports. These update functions may check your system to see whether files relating to the services need to be refreshed or modernized.

For example, products and services may transmit report files to McAfee. These files contain information, including the number of checked, suspicious, infected or unwanted files or emails, the number of infections, the date and hash values ​​of the detected infections and the number of false negatives/false positives. The purpose of these reports is to analyze the frequency of particular infections or the prevalence of threats. McAfee will also adapt the product where necessary to user preferences based on actual use of the product.

If no licensed device count or user count was specified, the License Entitlement is for a single device and user.

"Service Entitlement" means the scope and duration of the Services you purchased, as specified in documents made available to you when you purchased the product. If no scope or duration is specified in the documents, the Service Entitlement is for a single device and user for one year.

If you purchase additional licenses of the Software which you registered to your account in the future and you use the email address identified in your account profile for the new purchases, the initial term of the additional licenses will be automatically reduced so that the renewal date is the same as the renewal date of the Software licenses you initially purchased. In that event, you will be charged a prorated subscription price based on a calendar day basis for the reduced initial term. If you do not register your initial licenses to your account, or you do not use the email associated with the account during checkout, you will receive no pro-rata pricing and the subscription term of such additional licenses will be the term that you purchased.

BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

For all non-European Union customers.

Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes.. Subject only to the Small Claims Court Option described below in this section, any claim, dispute or controversy of any kind, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory or remedy ("Claim") by either you or us against the other arising from relating to or in any way concerning the Agreement, the Software, or Services shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate includes, but is not limited to: (i) Claims relating to the enforceability or interpretation of this Agreement, including any of these arbitration provisions; (ii) Claims by you, and also Claims made on your behalf or connected with you, such as an employee, representative, agent, predecessor, successor, heir, assignee, or trustee in bankruptcy; (iii) Claims that relate directly to us, and/or to our parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assignees, employees, and agents; and (iv) Claims that could have been asserted as part of a class action, private attorney general or other collective, consolidated, or representative action, it being expressly understood and agreed to that the arbitration of such claims must proceed solely on an individual ( non-class and non-representative) basis and the arbitrator shall have the authority to award relief only on an individual (non-class and non-representative) basis. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT NO CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS MAY BE PURSUED IN ARBITRATION, NOR MAY SUCH ACTIONS BE PURSUED IN COURT. BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OF ANY KIND.

Notice of Dispute. The party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating arbitration. When sent to us, notice should be sent to McAfee, 5000 Headquarters Drive, Plano, TX 75024, Attention: Legal Department. The notice must include your name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You and we will use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After 60 days, you or we may commence arbitration. Notwithstanding these notice obligations, any demand for arbitration must be made by you or us within the statute of limitations that is applicable to the Claim(s) upon which arbitration is sought or required. These notice obligations do not modify the statute of limitations that is applicable to any Claim(s).

Administration of Arbitration. If any dispute is not resolved by informal negotiation, any claim, dispute, or controversy will be, at the demand of either party, conducted exclusively by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and not state law. Subject only to the Small Claims Court Option for individual consumers described below, YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Instead, all disputes will be resolved on an individual basis before a single, neutral arbitrator and the proceeding will be confidential. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer admitted to practice law in his or her jurisdiction and with at least ten years’ experience or a retired or former judge selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement, and the arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as applicable, as modified by this Agreement (the "Arbitration Rules"). For more information, see adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. Except with respect to any claims or counterclaims seeking less than $25,000, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned, written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English, and the United States FAA will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the binding arbitration clause in this Agreement. The award will be confidential and only disclosed as is necessary to obtain judgment or as otherwise required by law. You and we further agree that a judgment may be entered upon the award by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration award will determine the rights and obligations between the named parties only, and only in respect to the claims in arbitration, and will not have any bearing on the rights and obligations of any other dispute.

Costs. The party initiating the arbitration will pay the initial filing fee. If you file the arbitration and an award is rendered in your favor, we will reimburse your filing fee. We will pay the fees and costs for the first day of any hearing. All other fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the arbitration rules. However, we will advance or reimburse filing and other fees if the arbitrator rules that you cannot afford to pay them or if you ask us and we determine there is a good reason for doing so. Each party will bear the expense of their respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses and other expenses, regardless of who prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.

Small Claims Court Option. If you are an individual consumer, you may choose to sue us in small claims court in your county of residence or in Santa Clara County, California if you meet the court’s requirements.

Right to Resort to Provisional Remedies Preserved by McAfee. Nothing herein will be considered to limit or constrain our right to resort to self-help remedies or to comply with legal process, or to obtain provisional remedies such as injunctive relief, attachment, or garnishment by a court having appropriate jurisdiction; provided, however, that we may elect to arbitrate any dispute related to such provisional remedies.

conflicting terms. In the event of a conflict between the Arbitration Rules and this arbitration agreement, this arbitration agreement will govern. if any portion of this arbitration agreement is considered invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the other provisions of the arbitration agreement; provided, however, that (a) if the prohibition on class-wide arbitration is considered invalid, then this entire arbitration agreement will be null and void; and (b) if the prohibition on arbitration of representative claims brought in a private attorney general capacity is considered invalid, then the arbitration agreement will be null and void as to such claims only. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this arbitration agreement and any other applicable arbitration provision, this arbitration agreement will control.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THE AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY SOFTWARE OR SERVICES. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. This paragraph in no way invalidates the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes.

For European Union Customers – Online Dispute Resolution Service ("ODR") & Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"). We are required by law to provide a link from our website to the EU ODR Platform: https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/consumers/resolve-your-consumer-complaint.

That way, you have another copy of the data that the attacking software has deleted, modified, or destroyed. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the attacking malware or virus, it is your sole and exclusive responsibility to back-up all data and files on your device so that they can be restored in the event of an attack on your data.

These remedies may not be available in some countries to the extent that we are subject to restrictions under applicable export-control laws and regulations.
