The modern household brims with computers and computer equivalent tablets and smartphones. How convenient, then, that one subscription for Mc. Afee Anti. Virus Plus lets you install Mc. Afee security software on every Windows, mac. OS, Android, and i. OS device in your household. Yes, Windows users get a lot more features than those on other platforms, but its still quite a deal. A Mc. Afee subscription lists for 5. Thats hard to price compare, because few other vendors offer unlimited licenses. The Panda Protection Advanced security suite protects all your Windows and Android devices for 3. Panda Protection Complete goes for 7. You pay 9. 9. 9. Total Defense Unlimited Internet Security, which gives you security suite protection for PCs and Android devices and antivirus for Macs. Most other competing antivirus products sell as one, three, or five license subscriptions. For those odd ducks who really, truly want to protect just one PC, Mc. Afee makes a one license, Windows only version available for 3. To install Mc. Afee on a Windows computer, you first go online and activate your license key. If you set up automatic renewal during the process, you get a Virus Protection Pledge from Mc. Afee. That means if any malware gets past the antivirus, Mc. Afee experts promise to remotely remediate the problem, a service that normally costs 8. In the rare event that they cant fix it, the company refunds your purchase price. With that housekeeping out of the way, its time to download and install the product. Mc. Afee introduced a streamlined installer earlier this year, but I somehow got the old, multistep installer. My company contact confirmed that they do randomly assign a few users to get the old installer, to help ensure their changes are having a positive impact. Im not sure how that helps, but even the old installer did the job with no hand holding from me. Once I chose a complete installation, it walked through all the steps itself. Once installation is complete, the product shows what it can do. It offers to run a scan, check for outdated applications, remove tracking cookies, and permanently delete files in your Recycle Bin. It also shows how to contact tech support, in case youre having trouble getting off the ground. Earlier this year, Mc. Afee redesigned the user interface for its security product line. The new, HTML based interface has a menu at the top that breaks down product features into five main pages Home, PC Security, Identity, Privacy, and Account. Down the left side theres a security indicator for your local computer as well as a list of your other protected computers, and a button to extend protection to more devices. I find the new interface to be both friendly and attractive, but it occasionally seemed sluggish, slow to respond to my clicks. Mixed Lab Test Results. I always perform hands on testing for my antivirus reviews, but I also pay close attention to the results reported by independent antivirus testing labs. These labs do their best to emulate real world situations and evaluate how well each antivirus product performs. Of the four labs I follow, Mc. Afee participates in testing with three, for its Windows products. Around the time of my previous review, Mc. Afee had just switched to a new behavior based detection engine that they call Real. Protect. Some of the lab test results available at that time predated the introduction of Real. Protect. This time around, there has been enough time for testing to catch up with the latest engine. Ill start with the bad news Mc. Afee failed both tests from MRG Effitas. Note, though, that where other labs offer a numeric score or multiple certification levels, this labs results are passfail. In the banking Trojans test, 8. In another test using all types of malware, only Kaspersky Anti Virus earned Level 1 certification, meaning it prevented all of the malware attacks. Of the remaining products, 6. I give these passfail tests less weight when calculating an aggregate lab score. On the bright side, Mc. Afee did quite well in the three part test reported by AV Test Institute. It earned the maximum six points in the Usability and Performance categories, meaning it had few or no false positives and a low performance impact. A score of 5. 5 for Protection brings its total to 1. Top Product. Note, though, that Avira, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro managed a perfect 1. Lab Test Results Chart. AV Comparatives doesnt report numeric scores, instead assigning three levels of certification, Standard, Advanced, and Advanced. I follow four tests by this lab, three of which include Mc. Afee. It managed Advanced in the performance test, but in the malware protection and real world protection tests it just took Standard certification. Avira, Bitdefender, and Kaspersky earned Advanced in all four tests. I use a formula to normalize test results to a scale from 0 to 1. Mc. Afees 7. 9 point score is on the low side though, as noted, it did exhibit some high scores. Kaspersky and Bitdefender hold the best aggregate scores, 1. Good Malware Protection Scores. Mc. Afees real time malware protection proved quite effective in my hands on testing. Many antivirus products scan files on any access, even the minuscule access that occurs when Windows Explorer lists the file name, size, and so on. Mc. Afee doesnt scan programs until just before they execute. In almost every case, Mc. Afee quarantined the sample before the process even showed up in Task Manager. Along with each quarantine notification popup, I got an odd message from Windows, Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. In a few cases, Mc. Afee disinfected the sample, leaving a virus free executable. Broderbund American Greetings Creatacard For Windows. It detected 9. 6 percent of the samples and scored an excellent 9. Emsisoft detected every single sample, but a few cases of imperfect blocking pulled its score down to 9. Tested with my previous set of samples, several products did even better. Webroot Secure. Anywhere Anti. Virus and Comodo detected 1. Several other products detected all the samples but didnt quite reach 1. Malware Protection Results Chart. My malicious URL blocking test uses a feed of malware hosting URLs generously supplied by MRG Effitas. Typically, these are no more than 2. I launch each URL and record whether the antivirus prevented access by the browser, eliminated the dangerous download, or failed in its protective duty. In the usual course of events, every product gets a different set of URLs for testing, the very latest ones. This time around I had the chance to test Mc. Afee simultaneously with Trend Micro Antivirus Security. Both products scored very well, each in its own way. Trend Micro blocked access to 8. URLs, and whacked another 1. Mc. Afee blocked just 1. URLs, but eliminated 8. Woah, that download is dangerous Tintin fans will appreciate the reference. Scores in this test are all over the map, but very few products have done better than Mc. Afees 9. 5 percent protection. Avira Antivirus Pro also managed 9. Trend Micro earned 9. Norton still holds the record, with 9. Excellent Protection Against Phishing. The same component that keeps your browser away from dangerous websites also defends against phishing sites. These are fraudulent sites that emulate sensitive websites for the purpose of stealing your login credentials.
