Does built-in McAfee give complete protection or better to use a dedicated antivirus app?

Since S21 comes with mcafee pre-installed (settings > device care) I was wondering if this alone gives you complete protection against everything or is it better to get a dedicated antivirus app like Norton, Bitdefender or even Mcafee standalone app?

Does that built-in Mcafee feature also protect you during browsing with chrome by the way?

Another thing certain av apps do is check the safety of your wifi connection. Does the built-in mcafee also do this https://vlc.onl/?

PS. does S22 also still come with mcafee pre-installed?

Hi @pikardenz ,

McAfee Provides complete protection  includes virus protection, browser protection, Identity and privacy Protection also inbuilt VPN. 

Does that built-in Mcafee feature also protect you during browsing with chrome by the way? Yes, Mcafee have built in browsing security called Safe browsing

Another thing certain av apps do is check the safety of your wifi connection. Does the built-in mcafee also do this? Yes, McAfee has built in wifi security called Wi-Fi Scan

PS. does S22 also still come with mcafee pre-installed? This depends on Manufacturer or the seller. Please check with the reseller

Rgards,

Kumar
