McAfee is one of the widely used antivirus software, this is because this antivirus application is installed by default as one of the default applications in every purchase of a new laptop or computer. However, unfortunately many are still confused about how to use McAfee on Windows or other operating systems.
Actually, to use McAfee antivirus is very easy, this is because we don't need to activate McAfee first through the serial number as the antivirus activation.
We can activate McAfee for free on our laptops for 30 days for a trial period (Trial). After the grace period expires (McAfee Expired) we can buy it if indeed this antivirus product can work optimally in cleaning malware and ransomware to spyware.
Immediately, here's how to scan for viruses using McAfee on a laptop that you can try.
There are two variants of McAfee antivirus, namely McAfee LiveSafe and McAfee Total Protection, which for the price difference, the Antivirus is not so far away, only a few dollars.
As for the function and performance, it is also not much different, namely providing PC protection and security when sharing data to browsing in the browser.
Steps to Using McAfee Antivirus
1. Open the McAfee antivirus apk on your PC desktop.
2. Enter the menu tab Home.
3. Right on the menu Secure (Green Check logo) open menu Options (3 dots icon).
4. Scroll down select option Virus Scan.
5. After that you choose Quick Scan then press button Run for a quick virus scan.
6. McAfee will automatically scan the files on our laptop.
7. You can click the button Run in background which antivirus will run in the background, you can also pause it via the button Pause but if you feel the scanning process is taking too long you just stop it with the button Cancel.
Usually the file scanning process takes a few minutes unless the files are very large, moreover for a thorough scan (Full Scan) it is also very long. So it's best to leave first so you don't have to wait long.
In this example I use McAfee LiveSafe for the version of McAfee Total Protection in more or less the same way.
McAfee Antivirus is also available on several devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops with operating system support including Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS OS.
In addition to the functionality and usability of several tabs such as PC Security and PC Performance to My Privacy.

In this section you can perform automatic and scheduled file scans. In addition, you can also update McAfee antivirus automatically to firewall protection.
