AV-Comparatives Awards 2024 for McAfee

McAfee achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ Consumer Main-Test Series of 2024. 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. All essential functions can be accessed via tiles on the home screen, and the malware alerts are clear and persistent.

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. An “Approved Product” award means that the software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently. It is an industry-recognised standard of quality.

AV-Comparatives’ tests have multiple aspects, to represent the different requirements of IT security solutions. Further awards highlight the effectiveness of individual programs in different protection scenarios, low false positives, and low impact on system performance. Users can thus see which programs score highly in the categories that matter most to them.
