---|---|---|
Password ManagerWhile we use passwords to help prevent unauthorized access to accounts, many aren’t following best practices. A password manager is crucial to creating and storing strong passwords for important online accounts. Our password manager helps you secure your accounts by generating complex passwords, storing them and auto-filling your info for faster logins across devices. It’s secure and, best of all, you only have to remember a single password. |
Identity MonitoringProactively protect your personal info from identity theft Data breaches, identity theft, and fraud are top-of-mind for most people. An identity monitoring service brings peace of mind by monitoring everything from email addresses to IDs and phone numbers for signs of breaches so you can take action to secure your accounts before they’re used for identity theft. We'll monitor the dark web for your personal info, including email, government IDs, credit card and bank account info, and more. We'll help keep your personal info safe, with early alerts if your data is found on the dark web, an average of 10 months ahead of similar services. |
Secure VPN (Virtual Private Network)Have you ever connected to public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, airport, shopping mall or hotel? Your credit card info, account login, and password, browsing activity, or even your physical location could be exposed. A VPN can help ensure your personal info and online activity remain private and secure. You can bank, shop or browse confidently online knowing your personal info is protected and your online activity is private whenever you're online. Our VPN creates an encrypted "tunnel" that makes it impossible for cybercriminals or advertisers to access so that what you do online remains anonymous. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update 2019: I just purchased it again a year later at $26.99 instead of the $50+ everywhere else and again within just a few minutes it removed the older version, did a fresh install and it even carried over the few days from my last time towards the new amount of days protected. Coverage for 3 devices just doesn't get more affordable or easier than this.
Update 2020: I had 20 days left so I bought this again and it worked like a charm for the 3rd year in a row. Buy it, go to your digital purchase section, copy and paste the key. They even have a link that opens up the site where you enter the key. It took all of a couple minutes and added 365 days to my subscription. I also want to add that running this and a decent adblocker meant no problems at all in the last year so this actually works.
Update 2021: With about 5 weeks left on my subscription I noticed the price dropped from $27.99 down to $19.99 for this and bought the digital download code again. It was instantly delivered to my email and appeared in my "Games and Software Library". In under a minute my subscription was extended for another year plus I didn't lose the days I had left on my current paid subscription from last year either. I'll keep updating every year with positive reviews as long as they make this hassle free and an honest transaction. If it ever changes, I'll also post a bad review but so far it's all positive 4 years in a row.
Update 2022: With 45 days left I bought another code, found it in my digital downloads then extended to 410 days within a couple of minutes. This kept 2 computers and a phone safe for another year. By using no rush shipping on other items I earned $10 in digital credits and when the price went to $19.99 it was just $9.99 by using the credits. Reliable and affordable for the 5th year in a row. I'll update again in a year if it's good or bad as usual.
Update 2023: Just bought this for the fifth time and within a couple of minutes I extended my protection to 404 days. Last year I had no security issues and it's under $25 plus you can plan ahead by getting digital discounts choosing Prime day delivery on a few orders earning $1.50-$2 each and get it discounted or free. It's a hassle-free way to protect a couple devices and a smartphone for another year.
Since my ISP is discontinuing free Norton security software I started to entertain other security software.
I settled on B-defender but that was a mistake. I was hoping that it didn't cause system crashes like other reviewers claimed it did but I was wrong. I was getting daily crashes so I uninstalled it and got a refund and re-installed Norton. (never caused system crashes)
The first time my system crashed I was in the middle of a backup operation, the next day I was just surfing the web when my system rebooted.
I then tried Mcafee and it simply worked well on all my devices, plus I didn't have to give credit card info for Auto-Renewal. You will need to setup Auto-Renewal if you want the VPN to work etc.
I've been running this for about a week now so it looks like a winner. It's not as robust as Norton but it'll do.
I purchased a total security for (5) downloads from Amazon on 12/20/21. I paid for it and then went to McAfee website to install. There were many attempts on the website to trick the customer into signing up for auto renewal because it offers no choice.
I believe I was able to avoid the auto renewal with the 1st download but with the 2nd download, the only way it will allow the download is if customer agrees with the license agreement before downloading.
Today, I have made several attempts to contact the company with the contact phone number listed on the website but each time the call was dropped. Also, with the same email used to download the 1st one, on the same day, practically minutes later when I attempted to do the 2nd download, I received a message that says it does not recognize the email address.
Does anyone know of a good, not so costly internet and virus security?
