## What's Included in Every Plan

Every McAfee subscription — regardless of tier — gives you access to the core security tools that keep your devices and personal information safe day to day.

* **Award-winning antivirus** powered by McAfee Smart AI™, processing 4+ billion scans daily
* **Scam Detector** to catch threats across text messages, email, and video — including QR code scans
* **Secure VPN** with bank-grade encryption that auto-connects whenever you join an unsecured network
* **Identity Monitoring** with real-time alerts when your personal data appears in known breaches
* **WebAdvisor** browser extension for safe, warned browsing across sites and downloads
* **Password Manager** to securely store, generate, and auto-fill credentials on all your devices

## Choosing the Right Plan

If you need solid protection for up to five personal devices, the **Essential** plan gives you everything you need at the most affordable price. Step up to **McAfee+ Premium** when you want unlimited-device coverage and proactive personal data cleanup from 30+ data broker sites. Choose **McAfee+ Advanced** when you're ready to add automatic data removal, credit monitoring, and up to $1 million in identity theft coverage. And for the most complete protection — including $2 million in identity theft coverage, credit lock, and 401(k) monitoring — **McAfee+ Ultimate** has you covered.
