INNSBRUCK, TYROL, AUSTRIA, February 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- McAfee achieved exceptional results in AV-Comparatives’ Consumer Main Test Series of 2021, and thus took the Product of the Year Award. The tests covered different protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives.

McAfee Total Protection is very simple to install, and has a modern, touch-friendly interface. This makes it very straightforward to find essential functions. Malware alerts are clear and persistent, and the McAfee Firewall co-ordinates perfectly with Windows’ network settings.

AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life. Consequently, a certification by AV-Comparatives is a guarantee of an effective and reliable product.
