A complete security package that offers both antivirus and antispyware capabilities, McAfee Total Protection doesn't stop there. It also offers email and web protection against viruses and spyware, protection for your computer's data, protection for your entire home network and plenty of optimization tools. Parents will enjoy the parental controls, which allow them to block any websites that they do not wish for their children to see. The sleek design and nicely organized menu features real time scanning that searches all of your computer's drives for viruses or other malicious programs. In the event that McAfee Total Protection does find something malicious, the program works quickly to either fix the problem, remove the file completely or quarantine it away from files that did not have any issues.

Another feature that McAfee Total Protection offers is a firewall to protect from web intruders that hope to steal your personal information such as bank login information and credit card numbers, a feature to check your email accounts and instant messages for malicious content and tools to protect your computer's files. McAfee Total Protection also offers a cleaner that will remove any unnecessary files that are in your recycle bin, as well as remove unused desktop icons and any old Internet history.

One issue that users have found to be a problem with the McAfee Total Protection program is its tendency to be very resource heavy. While the program has many useful features, it has so many features that it slows down the computer.
