Does Antivirus by McAfee on NAS Synology helps prevent Ransomware?

Jump to solution

Hi,

I am using NAS Synology. I found there is a version of McAfee antivirus called Antivirus by McAfee. I think it's better than Free Antivirus so I an intending to buy it.

Ransomware on NAS Synology raises day by day, so Do Antivirus by McAfee can prevent Ransomware? Thank you.
