McAfee Total Protection (discontinued) vs. ThreatCure® ShieldOps Platform

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.

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.

While some items offer perfect sight, others fall short in other respects. The ThreatCure ShieldOps platform provides our management and incident response team with a 360-degree perspective. This facilitates quicker decision-making for the future. Furthermore, ThreatCure has an opex model, but other suppliers require significant Capex investments, which is an added advantage of SMB organization like us.

• Blocks unsafe websites
