The core antivirus engine has also had an upgrade. This should keep you safe should you accidentally wander into the wrong neighborhood of the internet. With this new feature, McAfee WebAdvisor warns you when you’re visiting a website known to be used by scammers who may try to access or hijack your PC. So, what’s new with this year’s edition of McAfee Total Protection? One of the headline additions is Tech Scam Protection. McAfee 2021 review: What’s new with this year? If an issue is flagged up, McAfee will help you to resolve the issue. These tools will keep an eye out for suspicious activity using your name or financial information to try and spot potential identity theft. Identity theft protection is worth having too, as it gives you access to McAfee’s identity monitoring and recovery tools. We found the built-in VPN to be quick and easy to use, and it's a great addition to the whole online security package. VPN services let you keep your location and identity anonymous when you're browsing online, which helps to protect you from hackers and scams, while also blocking websites from tracking your data to use in targeted ads.
It’s a shame these features are locked behind the auto renew paywall, but savvy customers can just leave auto renewal enabled and then turn it off at the last second just before their subscription expires. McAfee Total Protection also comes with access to a secure VPN and identity theft protection, but there’s a catch with both of these - they’re only available if you have the auto-renewal options selected.
