McAfee Downloading & Installation Guide

Download McAfee to your PC

Once you’ve chosen the right McAfee software and added it to your basket, you’ll be presented with a couple of options.

You have the chance to upgrade by buying protection for more than one computer, using the little drop down boxes in the column marked quantity.

If you have discount codes enter them now. Under your invoice there’s a sentence that “If you received a promotional code …”, below this enter your code in the box and hit submit code.

Then hit the checkout button where you will have to create an account, with your billing address and details.

Install McAfee on your PC

Installation is very simple and there’s a wizard to guide you through step by step. Once you’ve got McAfee it will run a test scan asking you to classify devices on a network as friend or foe, scan files and you can then set the parental controls to keep your kids safe online.
