McAfee Total Protection Original Annual License for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS

Fast Email Delivery, Official Guarantee and Free Technical Support

Available for 1, 3, 5 or more devices and in different durations: select the variant you need among those on this page.

McAfee Total Protection is McAfee's complete suite: it puts the defence of the machine, the VPN for the network and identity monitoring for what has already got out under a single license, available for 1, 3, 5 or 10 devices. It is the choice of anyone wanting one product to cover security, privacy and personal data protection. The license is annual and is delivered by email with the activation code.

Why choose McAfee Total Protection

McAfee is one of the long-established names in computer security and its consumer range is organised in increasing levels: it starts with protecting the device and reaches as far as protecting the person's identity. Choosing the right edition means understanding how far you want to go.

Total Protection comes from the observation that risks no longer concern only the device. Malware is stopped by the antivirus, but a connection on a public network must be encrypted, credentials must be stored safely and personal data ends up in breaches of third-party services over which you have no control. The suite tackles all three fronts together.

What McAfee Total Protection is and what it is for

McAfee Total Protection combines device protection, real-time antivirus, ransomware defence, safe browsing and firewall, with privacy and identity tools.

The VPN encrypts the connection and switches on by itself on public wi-fi networks. The password manager keeps credentials in a synchronised encrypted vault. Identity monitoring checks whether your data appears in known breaches and warns you in time to change passwords. Parental controls complete the coverage for families.

How to protect a family across several devices

• One account, not one per person
  The license is managed from a single McAfee account. From there you send the installation invitations to the other devices, without walking around the house with a USB stick.
• The phone counts as much as the computer
  Mail, banking and messages end up on the phone: it is the device carrying the most data and the one most often lost. If the license covers several devices, the phone goes in among the first.
• The children's computer wants a separate account
  One Windows account each, without administrator rights for the younger ones. It is the measure that prevents half the wrong installations, and it costs nothing.
• Content controls are agreed, not imposed in secret
  Filters and time limits work if the person subject to them knows they are there. Switched on in secret they last as long as it takes a teenager to look up how to get around them.
• Licenses move when a device changes
  From the account page you deactivate the old phone and activate the new one. An installation left on a device that no longer exists just takes up a slot.
• The Mac and the phone are not immune
  Less targeted, not invulnerable, and on the phone the most concrete risk is applications installed outside the official stores.
• Expiry dates are looked at together
  A license for several devices has one single date. Marking it in the calendar avoids discovering in January that half the house had been uncovered since November.
• What no license replaces
  Talking at home about how to recognise a fake message is worth more than any installed program. Children learn faster than adults, if somebody explains it to them.
