McAfee updates Total Protection for Mac with a Windows-style UI, though key features like a firewall and full scans remain absent.
We look at its feature parity, independent lab standings, and VPN additions.
What does the new version include?
The program focuses on protecting against digital threats and controlling your data. The main menu immediately shows whether your computer is protected, while allowing you to activate tools such as the built-in VPN. The VPN now offers the ability to choose between 48 countries and has an automatic connection termination function in case of signal loss.
The program's strengths include:
- Fraud protection: The dangerous website detection function achieved 100% success in test tests.
- Data Leakage Control: The Identity Monitoring feature scans to see if your personal information has been leaked.
- Warranty: The company promises a refund if the software fails to stop a malware attack.
Limitations for Mac users
Despite the update, the app lacks the tools of the Windows version. For example, it lacks a firewall, and the ability to perform a full computer scan has been removed. Additionally, McAfee no longer supports older versions of the macOS operating system, a policy that differs from other companies like Bitdefender, which continue to support older software.
Cost
The cost for McAfee Total Protection starts at $89,99 per year for a single license.
