Even tho the WebAdvisor can sometimes greenlight a malicious file the real-time scanner will notice it and mark it as suspicious. If you proceed with the download, the real-time protection will scan the file and eliminate it. If you happen to stumble upon a malicious download, a banner will pop up telling you that the file is dangerous. McAfee AntiVirus Plus comes with a WebAdvisor browser extension which protects from malware being downloaded. When McAfee notices an unknown program acting suspiciously, it sends the behavioral data for analysis, records the program’s behavior, and cuts back all of the malware activity if the analysis deems the program malicious. Real Protect relies on behavior-based detection to catch 0day malware. The latest version of the McAfee antivirus utilizes a brand-new virus detection and protection engine called Real Protect. The unchanged interface might be a problem to some, but we don’t see it as anything worth mentioning – it functions well, and that’s all that matters.
ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE REVIEWS 2018 CNET INSTALL
The antivirus will install quickly, and after it has finished updating, you will be good to go. The installation is easier than before it requires almost no user interaction. We advise you to buy the Plus version since the protection of an unlimited number of devices is too good to miss out on. If you still can’t get over the price, you will be glad to know that you can purchase a one-device PC-only version of the program without the “Plus” in the name for $39.99. At $59.95 a year, McAfee is more expensive than the competition, but when you remember that the subscription allows you to install protection on all of your devices, you realize that the price isn’t steep at all.
