This was the strongest part of the McAfee efforts, making the suite visually distinct without sacrificing usability. Features and support McAfee provides a solid list of standard security features, from antivirus and anti-malware protection, a two-way firewall, and antispam measures to real-time safeguards, parental controls, and search result rankings.

As befits a high-end suite, Total Protection also comes with some helpful extras, such as a secure file shredder, encrypted local storage, online backup, some basic Wi-Fi protection on home-based wireless networks, and tools for tweaking system performance.

It also introduces several new features. These include Net Guard, for blocking botnets and protecting your personal data from being sent out without your permission; a "hacked page" protection for blocking iFrames on malicious sites; "deep page" protection for preventing hacked pages within otherwise safe sites from resolving; and USB drive scanning.

The parental control package has been updated, too. Parents get protection against blacklisted Web traffic in programs other than the browser, such as instant-messaging applications; browsing logs; and the ability to monitor changes to the clock to prevent clever kids from circumventing the suite's program timer. Two other small but important new features address the social nature of modern browsing, but are only available from McAfee's browser toolbar. One is a custom URL shortener, routed through McAfee servers, and the second is a new site-sharing service with hooks into your Twitter, Facebook, and local clipboard.

However, these are limited to the browsers that support the toolbar, which are Firefox and Internet Explorer. Google Chrome and its rocketing market share remain ignored. McAfee offers a good set of features that keep it competitive, but nothing that really looks forward or pushes the envelope. Performance Despite the smart interface and competent features, McAfee's performance has been abysmal when it comes to preventing threats, and middling when it comes to system benchmarks.

So while results are more comparable than they would be with, say, a Windows XP computer, there's still a notable difference between the test computers. CNET Labs found that Total Protection's impact on boot time was smaller than average, but that its sibling suites had among the worst boot-time impact of any tested this year. And although all three were highly competitive in their shutdown times, they slipped below average again on scan times.

Those three benchmarks are key, since those are the most noticeable during regular computer use, and we would've preferred to see better marks here. However, McAfee appeared to have a more mundane effect on an in-use computer, scoring slightly above or slightly below average on all counts. McAfee did well but not great in real-world scan time tests. Its quick scan averaged 8 minutes, 8 seconds; that's much slower than many competitors.

The full scan took an average of 2 hours, 5 minutes, longer than many competitors by about half an hour. Note: All tests measured in seconds, except for Cinebench. On the Cinebench test, higher numbers are better. How good is the protection it offers? Surveying the results from several independent testing agencies, the answer is probably going to cause much gnashing of teeth among McAfee fans.

The suite hit 3 out of 6 on both Protection and Repair, and 3. Note that AV-Test defines its categories as follows: "The 'Protection' covers static and dynamic malware detection, including real-world zero-day attack testing. In case of 'Repair,' we check the system disinfection and rootkit removal in detail.

The 'Usability' testing includes the system slowdown caused by the tools and the number of false positives. In short, AV-Test found McAfee Total Protection and the new to be not worth the time or effort, at least from a purely protective point of view. The most recent AV-Comparatives. The September test got a much better score, having blocked That's fourth-best for the month, an impressive turnaround that bodes well for McAfee , but it's not enough to correct for prior failures. From its January test, in its Overall Protection test of high-end suites, Dennis Labs placed McAfee dead last out of 11, with an overall protection score of 54 percent.

Dennis placed McAfee last in its Accuracy test, too. It's fair to conclude that despite one glimmer of brightness for the future, McAfee has had a horrifically bad year when it comes to independent testing.

While it is true that these tests are more of a snapshot in time than the final word on anything, they do provide us with a reasonable picture of the security field at a given moment.

It's just not McAfee's moment. Conclusion McAfee has made good products in the past, and it may well do so again. However, the combined performance marks are a horror show, and there are too many inconsistencies throughout the rest of the suite to overlook benchmarks in favor of reputation.

A VPN allows you to protect your identity while surfing online, effectively masking your location and IP address. Total Protection includes access to McAfee safe connect VPN , enabling you to connect to wifi sources with bank-grade wifi encryption. Once installed, you can access the VPN easily from the interface and get it up and running in no time.

McAfee Total Protection users can rejoice as they gain access to a dedicated password manager. A password manager stores your passwords in one centralised location, accessible by a master password. Passwords stores in this manner are secure, encrypted and are a generally safer alternative to having them written down or stored locally. Like other anti-virus software, you may experience a drop in performance while scans are running. Be aware that you may also experience performance issues if you execute Total Performance on an older device as these devices may not meet the system requirements needed to perform the anti-virus actions.

Unlike some anti-virus software, Total Protection comes built with multi-device compatibility , meaning you can benefit from McAfee protection whether you are using Windows, Mac, IOS or Android devices. Furthermore, cross-protection like this ensures that you stay protected whether you are at home or on the move, which can be especially important if you commute, travel or find yourself away from home for an extended period and want to stay protected.

While Total Protection doesn't have an integrated parental control feature, your subscription does give you access to install McAfee's other product - McAfee Safe Family. Safe Family has a wide range of parental capabilities for families that need it.

Blacklisting inappropriate websites or potentially dangerous sources enables Total Protection to flag the site on arrival and prevent access immediately; this includes access to a spam filter found in the settings. While McAfee Total Protection doesn't push the boundaries of what is possible within an anti-virus, it does the basics well.

Users might not find many revolutionary features should they already be using an alternative piece of software but will welcome a free, no limit VPN and a password manager. As an additional benefit, users can be sure that their device will be protected with the Total Protections main package covering a total of 10 devices , including multi-platform support.
