The full system scan took around an hour. While I could still use it for browsing the web, gaming was out of the question while the scan was running. However, the scan did cause some slowdown on my computer. It detected 100% of the hundreds of malware samples I downloaded to my PC. McAfee’s antivirus scanner checks files against a huge virus database and uses heuristics to identify potentially dangerous files. If you want a good internet security suite with functions that are incredibly simple to use, go with TotalAV. TotalAV is better for speed and ease of use, and it has a better VPN. If you want premium protection for all of your devices at a price that’s lower than many competing brands, go with McAfee.
McAfee is better for malware protection, extra features, and pricing.
