Clario Anti Spy vs. McAfee Total Protection (discontinued)

I use Clario to access platforms unavailable in my country. Our company uses them to place our products and we need vpn to access those links and Clario has it so it’s a great match. We have used another corporate app before but it has been costly and didn’t have so many servers available - so I’m actually happy we don’t need it anymore. What I really loved is cleaner browsing without ads - they no longer distract when you need to check something for business.

I didn’t have enough time to get to know all the tools. I know there is an antivirus and a hacker check or something, but since I use Clario mostly for work, this isn’t really relevant to my daily work routine. Actually I guess it must be nice to have a separate business version with some specific file security features like shredder and different pricing.

I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

• Clario extension for safari blocks most pop-ups and annoying ads on websites.
• Clario shows a green or red checkmark next to each Safari search result, which signals whether the link is safe or not.
• It's really easy to enable the VPN feature when I need to access other countries' search results, and to overall keep my data secured while using different Wi-Fi networks.
• I like their impeccable support service. If I have any questions, they usually reply in the chat within a few seconds. I've talked to a few of their agents regarding different issues, and all of them were very friendly, helpful, and nice.
• It's not often you come across such a smooth and pretty design. I like how the Clario mobile app looks and how it guides me through all of the steps to secure my device.
• Clario doesn't send me a bunch of annoying notifications daily as many other apps tend to do. Almost all of their alerts are about the useful things I need to pay attention to keep my data secured. Which is lovely and helpful, and not at all annoying. I hate when apps send a bunch of unnecessary notifications.

• Excellent protection of all internet connected assets on our VPN.
• Constant updates of needed security patches that ensure our network and systems are protected from current and emerging/potential threats.
• Prompt and reliable customer service that provides needed answers and expertise in a crisis.
• Strategic whitepapers on emerging cyber threats and McAfee solutions to resolve them before they become a problem for my team or our clients.

Incentivized

• Opting for a business subscription would be a great choice
• File shredding not included - we use another app for that
• Add reminders to avoid forgetting scans

• Price - Extremely high price tag for many of the solutions.

Very user-friendly app. It runs smoothly and is easy to use for non-tech-savvy people.

I have to say that Clario customer service is simply outstanding. When you talk to their experts, it does feel that they are experts - and they also answer literally the moment you message them

My only experience with this kind of software is NordVPN. I used it several years ago on my old family computer. I chose Clario after a suggestion on Facebook because I like using the same app on my computer and phone. Also, Clario offers many other useful tools I need in addition to the VPN. I feel safer and more protected with them.

I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.
