Looking under the hood of McAfee Total Protection reveals quite a few tasks using a significant amount of memory. McAfee Total Protection: What I don't like Overall, there's a lot more that works for McAfee Total Security than doesn't. This can be very nice if you share your PC or use your computer in an area where theft is likely. Still, McAfee doesn't install this feature by default so you're free to ignore it if you are already using another service.Ī file vault is enabled on your PC which is essentially a password-protected folder. Another thing you can get on your own is a password manager. Naturally, it's possible to do this manually but it's nice to have an option to do it with one click. Quick Clean is a nice feature that can clear out a lot of unnecessary files hanging around your hard drives. I left this feature off on my desktop but I think it would be very useful on a notebook or tablet computer. It's also just a nice thing to have for a lot of sites. McAfee Web Boost can stop videos, such as those in advertisements, from auto-playing which can consume a ton of battery power if you don't notice it on a notebook. If your PC is a bit old and slow, McAfee has a tool to help you get the most out of web browsing. Source: Android Central (Image credit: Source: Android Central)
