McAfee Total Protection
If looking at the other options on this list has made your eyes glaze over, McAfee has a no-nonsense, one-size-fits-all solution for you. McAfee Total Protection is the sole internet security software available, and while pricing varies depending on the number of devices covered, the basic software remains the same.
McAfee fared admirably in recent tests of its antivirus and malware prevention capabilities, blocking more than 97 percent of attacks directed at it. Those are solid numbers, but they trail behind other market options.
Another issue is that some of the extra capabilities offered by McAfee Total Protection are hidden behind an auto-renewal paywall, so you'll have to commit to McAfee in the long run if you want things like VPN access or identity theft protection. Given that none of the competition has this restriction, McAfee is a difficult sell. Not terrible, but unless you truly don't want to deal with the complexity of choose amongst several possibilities, we'd suggest there are better solutions available.
