After hours of not knowing how to get laptop to the function normally, I got thru ‘chats’ wMcafee virtual support personnel till I asked for ‘live’ help! I was contacted by “Yeal” who after I told him what I had been through, he without further discussion got my permission to enter my laptop and he resolved my problem of getting my laptop back to ‘normal’ operation without McAfee popup interference ‼️👍🏼 ### 2/5 — New update *2026-08-10, version 10.7.1* New update has caused issues with my subscription needs fixing ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-10, version 10.7.1* I think it’s great ### 2/5 — 🙉 *2026-08-08, version 10.7.1* My VPN keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. And now it showed my real location on Google. Not really ideal for security. Also to add: I was randomly signed out and the app won’t let me sign back into my account. I had to use a one time pass code to login. I’m contemplating on leaving this app for another as my VPN constantly disconnects and is now signing itself out. Now because the VPN disconnecting it left me vulnerable. I recently had someone sing into my Instagram and another app not long ago. It’s not ideal when I’m paying money for this. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-06, version 10.7.1* I love my new Security. I feel much safer now. ### 4/5 — Simple to Use *2026-08-06, version 10.7.1* The link from desktop to iPhone was smooth and effective I was able to protect my phone and run the virus scan ### 2/5 — Day to day *2026-07-31, version 10.7* VPN keeps turning off. Can’t get into a lot of things. Just sits and spins ### 5/5 — Protection *2026-07-31, version 10.7* It’s feels wonderful to know your protected ### 5/5 — Only security I use *2026-07-31, version 10.7* I’ve been using McAfee for a long time, and it protects me from nearly all the scams and risks. I was under my mo/ subscription until she cancelled it, but I currently have my own. Never hurts to have extra protection. ### 5/5 — Great Protection *2026-07-29, version 10.7* I am very satisfied with McAfee. Their advanced protection is well worth it with what they offer and the ability to add a lot of devices. They are able to clear any information about you that you do not want to be out there across any areas that cover the digital space rather it be the dark web or any website and I love how they have their financial monitoring set up where you can also see your credit score. And I love how they have their app interface displayed it makes it so easy to see everything that is being monitored. They literally cover the everything. And they are very loyal to their customers!! I absolutely love McAfee!! Only thing I would say that I am having trouble with is deleting accounts across the internet that you have used your email for. It seems like it takes awhile for that to happen. Because the screen just keeps spinning. Otherwise I absolute love McAfee ### 5/5 — Safety *2026-07-29, version 10.7* This is total protection ### 2/5 — Okay product *2026-07-28, version 10.7* The protection is just okay, but I wouldn’t recommend McAfee to family or friends. I currently looking into other alternatives. ### 5/5 — Keeping me safe *2026-07-28, version 10.7* Thank you for keeping me safe and giving me a secure feeling. ### 3/5 — Need to know *2026-07-28, version 10.7* It would help if when a suspect site was blocked, if the site was listed so one would know not to click on that site again! ### 5/5 — Good protection *2026-07-27, version 10.7* McAfee never steered me wrong. I’ve had them a long time secure my property and stuff it’d be wise to go with them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not working at all ! *2026-08-20, version 10.7.1* My phone has been hacked !

I finally decide to click on customer service support brings me to the next page. I click customer service for the phone number to call. Send a message comes up, saying go to the whatever screen I don’t remember now to find your state you live in to find the number to call. Which I can’t find. Someone needs to redo this app. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. ### 1/5 — Works for laptops as a service but this app is incapable of any function. *2026-07-17, version 10.7* Maybe a few years ago this app used to work, but recently I’ve noticed the app signed me out and can’t get the login option to open. If you are looking for phone protection I advise to look elsewhere. May consider switching to a competitor when my subscription ends if the app stays inoperable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best security protection ever🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾 *2026-08-19, version 10.7.1* I am so glad that my security is being protected ### 5/5 — Profile: Christopher Urbina *2026-08-19, version 10.7.1* I want to Thank all the Beautiful People of McAfee: Protection®️.
