The test seems to have been done correctly. Good result.

Great performance. Just one thing to point out, McAfee is very light. In fact, it is one of the lightest security products nowadays. I know it used to be a resource hog but that's not the case anymore.

I've noticed this too, it's light and pretty decent now.

McAfee has made significant strides for improvement and this is a plus for them

I wish someone would do a Gamer security test, since it's using their cloud Micro AV and no one seems to know if that offers comparable protection.

I have Bullguard Internet Security installed on every gaming device at home. Its system impact is trivial. Regarding McAfee's Micro AV, though I have not used it, I do not think it will be impressive. Their other offerings (Internet Security and Total Security) offer great protection and they are very very light. McAfee has improved a lot.

Good results. I had McAfee for a year. It's improved a lot and was fairly light. The browser addons for stopping video auto play and site advistor for blocking malicious/phishing sites was quite good. The speed boost is meant to prioritize resource heavy software and seemed to work seamlessly all in all. I'd get it again though these days I rely on built-in protection and H_C.

WebAdvisor relies on yahoo search engine (or only a specific, limited # of search engines) IIRC so your browsing history is up for grabs. I don't know if it's changed but that's how it was a couple of years ago when I used it.

Yeah, I forgot about that though you have the option to show results for any search engine and change it back to what you want.
