REVIEW<br />
in one hour, 18 minutes, and 24 seconds. The standard<br />
time for our Windows 10 test PC without any extra<br />
programs running is one hour, 15 minutes, and 30<br />
seconds. That means the PC took slightly longer than<br />
usual with McAfee running, but for a home user, that<br />
difference won’t have a massive impact.<br />
PCMark 8, meanwhile, got a score of 2,527 with<br />
McAfee running, and 2,532 without. That’s a small<br />
drop in performance and unlikely to be noticeable<br />
to most users.<br />
Verdict<br />
McAfee is a solid choice for PC protection, and the<br />
impact on your PC resources should be pretty minimal.<br />
The price points are okay, but you can find better value<br />
elsewhere. The McAfee desktop application needs a<br />
little work to make it more intuitive, and to optimize<br />
its design. Ian Paul<br />
