McAfee Corp., a global leader in online protection, today announced the Italian launch of McAfee+, a new product line that includes comprehensive privacy and identity protection and enables users to live their online life in complete safety and peace of mind.
The new McAfee+ suite of products is now available in the UK, giving users access to identity recovery and wallet loss assistance, as well as the ability to secure all their devices with award-winning threat protection and viruses. As part of the announcement of the new product line, McAfee also launched protection for Chromebook products, with antivirus, VPN, safe browsing and identity monitoring for Chrome OS users.
According to McAfee Consumer Research 2022, 75% of consumers fear their financial information will be compromised; 76% of respondents are also worried about possible identity theft from an online transaction, and 70% fear that their data will end up on the dark web. Created to address consumers’ growing concerns about data privacy and identity theft, and to provide comprehensive support and peace of mind, McAfee+ is available in the UK starting at €44.95 for the first year.
McAfee+ is purpose-built to provide online protection that includes proactive dark web monitoring for personal information control, and complements McAfee’s renowned antivirus protection and Secure VPN. For added protection against identity theft, McAfee+ Advanced includes expert assistance with identity theft recovery and wallet support in the event of loss.
“We spend more and more time online for work, education, social media, banking, and connecting with family and friends, and this poses the risk of bad actors attempting to target our devices with malware, steal identities and gain access to private information, and more,” said Vonny Gamot, EMEA manager for McAfee. “McAfee+ is designed to address these trends and threats and to help users better defend against identity breaches to minimize future threats.”

We are proud to enrich our product lines with all of this, so that more people can enjoy life online safely.”
