An antivirus solution for prevention against malware
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The interface is good. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus has protected my devices from malware in the past year, even when accessing vulnerable software.
What needs improvement?
The pricing and renewal process for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could be more smoother. When I use multiple accounts, often from my Postgres PC, the licensing is capped to one specific account, preventing me from utilizing it with other accounts under the same installation. This necessitates constant switching between accounts, which can be unreliable even when I've paid for the subscription.
Additionally, the lack of multi-year subscription options makes it inconvenient, as renewing annually might be forgettable. Overall, automation and simplifying renewals and technical support could be done.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for around a year.
