Avast Ultimate Suite 10 Devices vs McAfee Total Protection

Avast Ultimate Suite is the better pick for households covering many devices: it bundles antivirus, SecureLine VPN, a firewall, webcam protection and cleanup tools across up to 10 devices for two years. McAfee Total Protection is a solid single-device antivirus with a strong identity-monitoring and text-scam feature set, but its listing covers one device on an annual term. Avast's higher rating (4.8 from 375 ratings) against McAfee's 4.2 from 1,566 ratings suggests stronger satisfaction, though McAfee has far more reviews. Buy Avast for multi-device families; buy McAfee if you want one device protected with identity monitoring and 24/7 support.

• Choose the Avast Ultimate Suite if you need to cover a family's Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices with antivirus, VPN, firewall and cleanup in one two-year subscription.
• Choose the McAfee Total Protection if you are protecting a single device and value identity monitoring, text-scam blocking and 24/7 customer support.
