Your online activity, sites visited, personally identifiable information & other sensitive information (e.g. photos, credit card info & passwords) traveling through the secure VPN connection is protected & private.

When to Use McAfee Safe Connect?
We suggest you keep McAfee Safe Connect Wi-Fi protection turned ON to minimize your online security risks & keep your data safe from prying eyes. Unlike home Wi-Fi, the vast majority of public Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t password-protected & don't encrypt the data being transmitted. When you connect to a hotspot, your online activities – from social media content to bank account credentials – may become vulnerable to hackers. With McAfee Safe Connect Secure VPN, your internet privacy & Wi-Fi security are protected.

Ratings and Reviews
McAfee charging me twice to use their product
First I installed McAfee safe connect on my PC $7.99 a month for up to 5 devices. Downloaded the McAfee safe connect on my IPhone and used my user name and password I created for my PC everything worked great. The iPhone app updated and after the update the app wouldn't except my user name and password and was charged another $7.99 for the month on my iPhone. I now have it on my PC and Phone and I'm being charged 7.99 a month for each one. I'll be removing it from my phone after this review.
After contacting McAfee customer service we got to the bottom of the problem and all is good so I changed my rating from 1 star to 5 star as I never had a problem with the product per se as it's easy to use and works as advertised.

What a hassle
Is it normal that I have to Start the app every time I lay phone down, this occurs all day. Safe Connect is off, constantly. What about the red shield VPN they cannot be used together but what is ll all this about. It’s crazy. Let’s get this fixed. Very difficult to get thru on phone. I will say your techs are 1st class in every way, you just need more. Mike Conzemius Well after my complaint it has been working as it should. Automatic on when using Wi-Fi so I have no complaint. I have no idea why it suddenly works. Thank you
Safe connect has failed again for the last few days I have to manually reinstall it. If this persists I am cancelling auto renew.

Software switches my email
This has been very frustrating. The email I use and set up with businesses I have noticed is being forwarded to my iCloud email. The businesses I have noticed without my permission or request change my settings to the iCloud email. At first I couldn’t figure out what was happening, I was even told by one business that my correct email was not on their system. I even contacted Apple support. Plus I was notified when an upgrade was done and that took time to figure out how to fix. Great time of year to feel unsafe. Then, only 250mgs are used for an entire month, you have to upgrade.
I paid for an entire year last May, now all these changes have been implemented which is different than what I paid for. If I end early, I doubt they would refund me for the 1/2 year I didn’t use.??
Developer Response ,
We are concerned about your experience. Kindly open Safe Connect>Tap on 3 lines at the top right corner>Tap My account>Tap sign out. Then sign in back with your McAfee credentials. Your paid subscription will be activated. If that does not help, contact our support team at https://service.mcafee.com/contact. We will work together to figure out the problem. Thanks!
