Read our full McAfee Total Protection Ultimate review. But if you want all-encompassing protection at a bargain rate, you could do a lot worse than McAfee. The downsides are that neither the VPN nor the parental controls work on Macs, and that there's no webcam protection, hardened browser or backup software. Like many McAfee antivirus subscriptions, Total Protection Ultimate nominally protects up to 10 devices but in practice is unlimited. The package also includes McAfee's protection against malware, the True Key password manager, Safe Kids parental controls, file encryption, file shredding, a firewall and unlimited VPN service for up to five devices. You'll get the benefits of McAfee's Identity Theft Protection Plus plan, which costs $175 per year as a stand-alone and includes credit monitoring and up to $1 million in insurance coverage. McAfee Total Protection Ultimate includes similar coverage for $160 per year, less than half of what Norton costs. Norton isn't the only antivirus maker with an identity-theft-protection service.

If you absolutely need and can afford all of these extras, then Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus could be the perfect solution.

Still, buying the equivalents of Norton’s features and services from other companies costs at least $550 a year. Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus costs $350 per year after the first year which is far more than other premium antivirus suites. If you have more than one PC, you might fill up the 500GB of backup space after a year or two. So what’s the catch? The parental controls don’t work on Mac and neither does the cloud backup service. Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus also has excellent protection against malware, its own firewall, dedicated webcam protection and it can even be installed on an unlimited number of devices. Parental controls, cloud backup, top-notch identity theft protection? All there.
