Waxa kale oo ay u egtahay in ay ka yara qaalisan tahay Ilaalinta Guud^{(Total Protection)} . Ilaa aad u baahatid kaydinta daruuraha dheeraadka ah, waxaanu u aragnaa Ilaalinta Guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} mid ka fiican McAfee LiveSafe . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, doorashada adigaa iska leh.

Faa'iidada iyo khasaaraha

Ilaalinta guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} waxay leedahay qaybaheeda wanaagsan:

• Qaybta ammaanku wax yar oo xun ayay ku leedahay waxqabadka iyo xawaaraha kombiyuutarkaaga

Xukun

Marka la barbardhigo noocyadii hore, McAfee Total Protection suite ee sanadkan aad ayuu uga fiican yahay sidii uu ahaan jiray. Waxay ka beddeshay mid ka mid ah alaabada amniga ee ugu xun ee aan dib u eegis ku samaynay, una gudubtay wax soo saar ammaan ah. Isticmaaleheeda cusub ayaa u muuqda mid aad uga wanaagsan, waana mid la isticmaali karo oo saaxiibtinimo badan, gaar ahaan kuwa bilowga ah. Dab-damiska wuxuu qabtaa shaqo aad u fiican marka lagu xiro shabakadaha Wi-Fi^(Wi-Fi) ee dadweynaha, ilaalinta biraawsarka shabakadda ee aad hesho waa mid hufan, matoorka antivirus aad ayuu uga dhakhso badan yahay iskaanka si ka badan sidii hore, iyo isticmaalka ilaha nidaamka ayaa hoos u dhacay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, McAfee Total ProtectionWaxa ay u muuqataa in ay dhibaato ka haysato aqoonsiga muunado cusub oo malware ah iyo sida ay u maarayso darawallada la saari karo ma aha tan ugu fiican. Isku soo wada duuboo, Ilaalinta Guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} ee u dambaysay waa suudh ammaan oo mudan in la isku dayo, haddii aad tahay bilow iyo haddii aanad ka shaqayn deegaan khatar ah oo aad la kulanto khataro badan oo amniga ah.

Soo dejinta iyo khibradda rakibidda

Si aad u heshid tijaabin McAfee Total Protection^{(a trial of McAfee Total Protection)} kombayutarkaaga Windows , waxa kaliya oo ay tahay inaad sameyso waa soo dejiso oo socodsii faylka la fulin karo ee loo yaqaan mcafee_trial_setup_[some-numbers]_key.exe . Waxay leedahay cabbir yar oo 5.01MB ah, laakiin inta lagu jiro habka rakibidda, waxay soo dejisanaysaa 534 MB kale oo xog ah server-yada McAfee . Aad bay u badan tahay, markaa taas maskaxda ku hay haddii aad isticmaalayso isku xirka internetka mitirka ah.

Waxa wanaagsan ayaa ah in macluumaadka shakhsi ahaaneed ee kaliya ee ay tahay inaad bixiso si aad tijaabada u kiciso uguna shaqeyso kombayutarkaaga waa ciwaanka email sax ah.

Markii aan bilawnay faylka dejinta, saaxirkii rakibaadda wuxuu hubiyay in kumbiyuutarkayaga tijaabada ahi uu ku habboon yahay Ilaalinta Guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} . Habka rakibaadda ayaa soo maray iyada oo aan wax dhibaato ah, iyo dhawr daqiiqo gudahood suite ammaanka ku shubtay interface user oo ay diyaar u ah in la isticmaalo, dib u kicin looma baahna.

Waxaa xusid mudan in McAfee Total Protection uusan ku weydiin wax ku saabsan inta lagu jiro rakibidda. Ma dooran kartid qalabka ilaalinta ee aad rabto, xitaa ma aad dooran kartid meesha aad ku rakibayso kombuyuutarkaaga.

Ilaalinta guud ee McAfee way fududahay in la rakibo, maadaama saaxirka rakibaadda uu yahay mid fudud oo toos ah. Xaqiiqda ah inaysan u baahnayn macluumaadka shakhsiyeed waxay ku kordhinaysaa aragti hore oo togan.^{(McAfee Total Protection is easy to install, as the installation wizard is simple and straightforward. The fact that it does not require personal information adds to a positive first impression.)}

La-qabsiga Windows , daalacashada shabakada iyo barnaamijyada madal Windows ee caalamiga ah^(Windows)

Dhawr daqiiqo ka dib markii la rakibo, McAfee Total Protection wuxuu cusboonaysiiyaa xogtiisa oo leh qeexitaanno cusub oo fayras ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, shay in yar la yaab leh ayaa ah in qolka ammaanku uu kaaga baahan yahay inaad xirto interface-ka isticmaalaha marka uu sameeyo cusbooneysiintiisii ​​​​ugu horreysay. Kadibna sidoo kale waa inaad dib u kicisaa kombiyuutarkaaga, kaas oo dareemaya shuruud aan loo baahnayn.

Ilaalinta guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} waxay si toos ah u curyaamisaa Windows Firewall iyo Difaaca Windows^{(Windows Defender)} , taas oo ah shay wanaagsan sababtoo ah waxay hubisaa inaadan u baahnayn inaad xakameyso isku dhacyada lama filaanka ah ama hoos u dhaca ay keento isticmaalka laba alaab oo isku mid ah oo isku mid ah isku mar.

McAfee si fiican ayuu uga shaqeeyaa is dhexgalka astaamaha isku xirka Windows . Wax dhibaato ah nagama qabin markii aan abuurnay ama markaan ku biirnay koox-guri oo maxalli ah, marka aan galnay faylalka iyo faylalka la wadaago ama markaan ku shubno faylalka warbaahinta shabakada maxalliga ah. La shaqaynta abka caalamiga ah ee Windows sidoo kale waxay ahayd waayo-aragnimo xanuun la'aan ah.

Waxaan ogaanay in moduleka dab-damiska McAfee uu ogaado goobta ^(McAfee)n etwork ee aad dejisay Windows 10^{(etwork location you set in Windows 10)} oo si toos ah u beddelo astaanta amniga si waafaqsan. Haddii aad dejiso goobta shabakadaada Dadweynaha^(Public) , gudaha Windows, sidoo kale McAfee Total Protection . Haddii aad u dejiso Private , McAfee firewall ayaa mar kale hagaajiya. Waanu qadarinaynaa hab-dhaqankan.

Ilaalinta guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} waxay isticmaashaa mishiinkeeda Net Guard si ay u baadho taraafikada intarneedka oo ay kaaga ilaaliso mareegaha xaasidnimada leh iyo hanjabaadaha khadka ah. In kasta oo aad ogeysiis desktop ka hesho antivirus-ka marka aad ku turunturoodo kheyraadka shabakadda ee khatarta ah, kama soo baxayso fariin fudud oo lagu fahmi karo biraawsarkaaga, marka ay tilmaamto khatar.

Barrawsaruhu waxa uu kaliya kuu sheegayaa in aanu soo galin karin website-kaas. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, haddii aad doorbidayso inaad yeelato khibrad browser-ku-dhex-gal oo ka wanaagsan, waxaad ku rakibi kartaa ku -darka La- taliyaha Shabakadda^{(Web Advisor)} . Nasiib darrose, ku-darkan waxa kaliya oo loo heli karaa Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox , iyo Internet Explorer hore . Microsoft Edge iyo Opera lama taageero.

Waxaan sidoo kale rabnay inaan aragno haddii McAfee Total Protection ay saameyn xun oo macno leh ku leedahay xawaaraha iyo guud ahaan waxqabadka kombiyuutarkayaga tijaabada. Waxaan ku bilownay inaan hubinno inta RAM ay u baahan tahay si ay u sii wadaan dhammaan hanaankeeda. Waxaan ogaanay in ay dhif tahay in ay dhaafto xadka 150MB ee kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada marka wax waliba hagaagsan yihiin. Waxaan hubinay haddii wakhtiga boot ee kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada ahi uu kordhay ka dib markii aanu ku rakibnay Ilaalinta Guud ee McAfee^{(McAfee Total Protection)} . BootRacer ma cabbirin wax farqi weyn ah celceliska wakhtiga loo baahan yahay bootinta.

McAfee Total Protection waa suudh ammaan oo si fiican ula mid ah Windows iyo sifooyinkeeda isku xidhka. Waxaan u mahadcelineynaa xaqiiqda ah in cutubkiisa dab-damiska uu si toos ah u hagaajiyo heerka ilaalintiisa iyadoo loo eegayo astaanta shabakadda ee aad ku dhejisay Windows.

Security for everyone - Review McAfee Total Protection

McAfee is a security firm backed by the hardware giant Intel and, as a result, their security products are bundled on most Windows laptops, ultrabooks and other devices with Intel processors. Their premium security solution is called McAfee Total Protection, and it is a product that promises to protect you against various security threats, ranging from malware and network attacks to dangerous websites and phishing attempts. In recent versions of their products, McAfee improved the user interface and other features a lot. We wanted to see how good their latest security product is, so we took it for a spin, and we tested it for a couple of days. If you want to know whether it was a positive experience, read this review:

What is McAfee Total Protection good at?

McAfee Total Protection is a security suite that is good at:

• Protecting you against malware, as long as it is not very new malware (zero-day)
• Protecting your computer while you connect to public wireless networks
• Securing your online experience by blocking malicious websites before you load them
• Being friendly with beginners and less knowledgeable users

McAfee Total Protection vs. McAfee LiveSafe

The main features you get from McAfee Total Protection are:

1. AntiVirus
2. Safe Web Browsing
3. Firewall
4. Free Support
5. Password Manager
6. File Lock
7. Multi-Device licensing

McAfee LiveSafe has everything that McAfee Total Protection has too, but also offers a Secure Cloud Storage space of 1GB, on the company's servers. It also tends to be slightly more expensive than Total Protection. Unless you need the additional cloud storage, we consider McAfee Total Protection a better deal than McAfee LiveSafe. However, the choice is yours.

Pros and cons

McAfee Total Protection has its good parts:

• The security suite has little negative effect on the performance and speed of your computer
• The firewall does a good job at protecting you when connected to public WiFi networks
• The web protection module, Net Guard, and the web browser extension, WebAdvisor, work well and protect you efficiently against online threats
• The user interface is "bright and shiny." It looks good, and it is easy to use, which is a welcome change from the past
• The antivirus engine is pretty fast at scanning files

Unfortunately, this product also has its problems:

• The antivirus engine did manage to identify and remove most of the malware samples that we used in our tests, but a few remained untouched
• The antivirus does not automatically scan removable drives, nor does it ask whether you would like to do that
• There is no VPN service included in this Total Protection suite

Verdict

Comparing it with past versions, the McAfee Total Protection security suite from this year is a lot better than it used to be. It has changed from being one of the worst security products that we had reviewed, to a decent security product. Its new user interface looks a lot better, and it is more usable and friendly, especially for beginners. The firewall does an excellent job when you are connected to public Wi-Fi networks, the web browser protection you get is efficient, the antivirus engine is a lot faster at scanning than before, and the consumption of system resources has gone down. However, McAfee Total Protection seems to have some troubles identifying very new malware samples and the way it handles removable drives is not the best. All in all, the latest McAfee Total Protection is a security suite that is worth trying, if you are a beginner and if you do not work in a hazardous environment where you are exposed to many security threats.

The download and installation experience

To get a trial of McAfee Total Protection on your Windows computer, all you have to do is download and run an executable file called mcafee_trial_setup_[some-numbers]_key.exe. It has a small size of 5.01MB, but during the installation process, it downloads another 534 MB of data from McAfee's servers. It is quite a lot, so keep that in mind if you are using a metered internet connection.

The good thing is that the only personal information you must provide for getting the trial up and running on your computer is a valid email address.

When we launched the setup file, the installation wizard checked whether our test computer was compatible with McAfee Total Protection. The installation process went through without any issues, and in a couple of minutes the security suite loaded its user interface and was ready to use, no reboot required.

It is worth mentioning that McAfee Total Protection does not ask you about anything during its installation. You do not get to choose what protection modules you want, and you do not even get to choose where to install it on your computer.

McAfee Total Protection is easy to install, as the installation wizard is simple and straightforward. The fact that it does not require personal information adds to a positive first impression.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps

A couple of minutes after installing it, McAfee Total Protection updates its database with new virus definitions. However, a thing that is a bit curious is that the security suite requires you to close its user interface when it performs its first update. And then you also have to reboot your computer, which feels like an unnecessary requirement.

McAfee Total Protection automatically disables Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, which is a good thing because it makes sure that you do not have to handle unexpected conflicts or slowdowns triggered by the use of two similar security products at the same time.

McAfee does well regarding integration with Windows' networking features. We had no problems when we created or when we joined a local homegroup, when we accessed shared files and folders or when we streamed media files over the local network. Working with universal Windows apps was also a pain-free experience.

We noticed that McAfee's firewall module detects the network location you set in Windows 10 and automatically changes its security profile accordingly. If you set your network location to Public, in Windows, so does McAfee Total Protection. If you set it to Private, the McAfee firewall adjusts again. We appreciate this behavior.

McAfee Total Protection uses its Net Guard engine to scan internet traffic and protect you from malicious websites and online threats. Although you get a desktop notification from the antivirus when you stumble on a dangerous web resource, it does not display an easy to understand message in your web browser, when it identifies a threat.

The web browser just tells you that it cannot load that website. However, if you prefer having a nicer in-browser experience, you can install the Web Advisor add-on. Unfortunately, this add-on is available only for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and the old Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge and Opera are not supported.

We also wanted to see if McAfee Total Protection has a meaningful negative effect on the speed and overall performance of our test computer. We began by checking how much RAM it needs to keep all its processes running. We found that it rarely goes over the limit of 150MB on our test laptop when everything is all right. We checked if the boot time of our test computer increased after we installed McAfee Total Protection on it. BootRacer did not measure any significant difference in the average time needed for boot.

The security suite does not hurt the internet speed or the local network speed. The tests that we ran with Speedtest.net and LAN Speed Test resulted in the same average internet and local network speeds before and after installing the security suite.

McAfee Total Protection is a security suite that integrates well with Windows and its networking features. We appreciate the fact that its firewall module automatically adjusts its protection level according to the network profile you set in Windows. We also like the fact that it is not consuming many system resources and it doesn't slow down your network connection.

Ease of use & configuration

The user interface of McAfee Total Protection starts with a dashboard that looks a lot better than any user interface we have seen so far on McAfee's products. It is a lightweight interface with blue and soft gray colors.

The Home tab that you meet when you open McAfee Total Protection shows whether your computer is safe or not, and other information like the devices that are protected by your security suite, options for running security scans, security reports, and links for enabling or configuring various features of the suite.

The user interface is split into five different tabs: Home, PC Security, Identity, Privacy, and Account. Each of these tabs gives you access to features, options, and controls that are part of their respective category. For instance, the PC Security tab lets you access the Real-Time Scanning engine, the Firewall, the Automatic updates settings, and the Scheduled scans.

On the same note, the Identity tab gives you access to the Anti-Spam module and the McAfee WebAdvisor add-ons, the Privacy tab allows you to configure the Parental Controls, and the Account tab shows you information about your subscription, but also gives you access to the support options that are available.

You can access the settings of each module and each feature from its dedicated area in the user interface, as well as by using the Settings menu from the top-right corner of the window. This is probably the faster way to get to the configuration options.

Another nice thing about the user interface is its notification system: on the top-right corner of the window, there is a small bell icon that shows the number of notifications sent by McAfee. Click on it, and you can see them all listed.

If you need help with understanding what specific features, modules or settings do, McAfee Total Protection is quite friendly. The user interface is filled with small bits of information describing its tools, and when you are fiddling with the settings, you can use the Learn more links to go online and see what they do, on McAfee's support website. Also, if you just want a quick tour of the interface, just click on the lightbulb icon from the top-right.

Also regarding help, McAfee Total Protection offers online documentation, FAQs, a knowledge base and community forums, as well as live chat and phone support options. You can access all that from the Account tab, by clicking on the Help button.

When it comes to logs and history, McAfee Total Protection includes journals that let you see what happened on your computer, both detailed text logs, and some visual reports.

During the time in which we tested McAfee Total Protection, we saw it display alerts about malware infected files, but we did not see any firewall notifications.

McAfee Total Protection is a security product that offers a lightweight, friendly, and beautiful user interface. It looks like McAfee finally hired a team of user experience designers. After many years of poor user interfaces, this time they managed to create something worthy of a modern antivirus product.

On the next page of this review, you can see how effective McAfee Total Protection is at protecting your computer from network attacks and malware. You can also see what additional features are included in this security suite, and check our recommendations for what settings you should adjust.
