Is the McAfee+ Premium Worth It?

Best for unlimited devices. For a large household McAfee's unlimited-device licence is the cheapest per device in year one and among the most expensive after. Protection is solid; the suite is heavy and noisy.

Why it scored 7.5

For a large household McAfee's unlimited-device licence is the cheapest per device in year one and among the most expensive after. Protection is solid; the suite is heavy and noisy.

Where it loses

Value at renewal; performance and nagging.

Still the right pick for

Big families, if you re-shop every year.
