With almost 30 million Chromebooks expected to ship globally by the end of 20221, this launch extends online protection to the millions of new and existing Chromebook users, including 50 million2 school-age children and educators.
According to McAfee’s 2022 Consumer Research, more than 70% of consumers feel that they have little or no control over the collection of their personal data online, 80% are concerned that their data is being sold, and 53% believe they will become a victim of identity theft. Created to address growing consumer privacy and identity theft concerns and deliver comprehensive support and peace of mind, McAfee+ is available in the U.S. starting at $49.99/ first year.
McAfee+ was purpose-built to provide online protection that includes removal of personal information from unnecessary and risky locations online including people search sites and data broker sites that sell this information to advertising companies and potentially to hackers and other bad actors. It also includes proactive monitoring of the dark web for personal information, and the integration of McAfee’s acclaimed antivirus products and Secure VPN. To bolster identity theft protection, select McAfee+ plans include up to $1 million in identity theft and stolen funds coverage, restoration of identity in case of identity theft and $25,000 of ransomware coverage.
“As the internet has become an increasing part of consumers’ daily lives there is growing concern about the amount of personal data that is accessible to bad actors and a lack of understanding about how to remove and secure personal information,” said Gagan Singh, Executive Vice President, Chief Product & Revenue Officer, McAfee. “McAfee+ is designed to deliver against those trends and threats, by helping users be more protected against identity breaches and proactively removing their information from the web to minimize future threats.”
“McAfee is in the business of protecting people, not just devices,” said Greg Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer, McAfee. “McAfee+ reflects that spirit by offering a simple, effortless way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your data. We are proud to introduce it to our product line-up so that more people can confidently experience life online.”
