What is McAfee?
McAfee sells consumer security software that protects computers and mobile devices from viruses, malware and other online threats. Its product line runs from antivirus suites to McAfee+ plans, which add identity and privacy protection to device security.
Plans are sold as subscriptions for individuals and for families. Higher tiers add more coverage on top of device protection. McAfee offers lower introductory prices for the first year, and the subscription then renews at the regular price.
