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.

Despite the fact that it is a program that monitors work at all times, I have not felt that it violates my privacy and hinders my work or makes it impossible for me to do so. For this and because it looks phenomenal when acting, I give it a 9 and I recommend the final consumer to try it to give an extra barrier to checking their emails in detection of extra malware that their antivirus does not do.

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.

more than against them is to complement secure solution adding one more layer to filter more threats with NordLayer connection secure gateways on internet !!!
