What you get with the Telecom Security Suite

Stop Viruses

Relentless security software scans and blocks dangerous emails, risky web content and online threats like viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits.

Real-time Safeguards

Cybercriminals are masters of disguise. If something new looks suspicious, McAfee® Active Protection™ immediately determines its risk to help keep your computer secure. McAfee now blocks stealthy botnet software by denying its attempts to connect your PC to web addresses that belong to crooks. This extra defence helps prevent your computer from sending out your personal information to Internet crime networks.

Two Way Firewall

Extra layers of Internet security software block bad guys from breaking in or seeking out your personal information. This traffic cop patrols nonstop to prevent malicious software from gaining access to your PC.

Safe Searching and Shopping

Color-coded icons next to your search results let you know before you click which sites are safe and which may install malicious code, phish for your identity, or send you spam.

Keep Your Family Safe Online

McAfee® Parental Controls help filter offensive content, pictures and websites. Simple, age-specific controls allow you to simply and easily restrict access to content that may be harmful to children and there are tools to time limit their online activity too.

Performance

Fast start up and scan times help you enjoy your digital life to the limit - surfing, shopping, and socializing with minimal interruptions. Unused applications, cached browser files, and other junk slow down your PC. McAfee QuickClean™ software removes the clutter so your computer can keep up with your digital life.

USB and Removable Drive Scan

Portable storage devices can be infected in their travels, spreading malicious code from system to system. McAfee can scan and block this portable payload of viruses, Trojans, and worms before they can work their way into your PC and your network.

Pre Install Scan

Many people get McAfee protection because they are already infected. To help you salvage your system, McAfee works to remove infections as our software installs.
