Protect multiple devices with different McAfee services

McAfee is the reference antivirus to protect your computers, tablets or phones. It protects you from malware, including spyware, Ransomware, Adware, both while browsing and in the cloud.

It also includes VPN protection, a cleanup function to delete cookies and temporary files, a password manager, a vulnerability scanner (allowing you to remove obsolete applications) and Dark Web monitoring to protect your mailbox. The premium version also allows you to use the parental control function.

The subscriptions that McAfee offers

McAfee offers subscriptions to protect one, five or ten different devices. Two promotional offers are available, whether you choose to subscribe for one year or two years. Whatever your choice, you will find 3 formulas.

Rates for a one-year subscription :

The first plan protects a single device and is the cheapest, with a reduced price for the first year. After that year, the subscription renews at a much higher price.

The second plan costs a little more and lets you install McAfee on 5 different devices. After the first year, the subscription also renews at a much higher price.

The third plan costs the same as the second, but adds parental controls (with the option of locating your children) and protects up to ten devices. When the offer ends, the renewal price is also much higher.

Rates for a two-year subscription (more advantageous) :

For one device, the yearly cost is even lower than with the one-year plan. When the offer ends, the subscription renews at a much higher price.

For five devices, it costs only slightly more per year. When the offer ends, the renewal price is much higher.

To protect ten devices with parental controls, the subscription costs barely more than for five devices. When the offer ends, the renewal price is much higher.
