McAfee Total Protection Essential may be McAfee’s starter security suite, but don’t give up on it just yet. There’s antivirus and browsing protection for up to five desktop or mobile devices; a password manager; powerful data breach monitoring for email addresses, phone numbers, credit cards, bank accounts and more; mobile apps include a scam detector to spot and block links in dangerous texts, and while Avast and Bitdefender include very restricted VPNs in their starter suites, McAfee’s VPN is the full and unlimited service.

If that’s still not enough, the McAfee+ antivirus software suites extend the range with antivirus for unlimited devices, comprehensive identity theft protection, and online tools to optimize your social media privacy settings, and detect and remove your personal information held by data brokers or in your old online accounts. Check out our McAfee+ Premium review if that sounds like what you need.

We think McAfee Total Protection Essential has the core features most users need, though, and in this review we’ll take a look at how they perform, and whether this could be the ideal security suite for you.
