McAfee Security Scan Plus is a free security assessment program for Windows PCs. It checks the computer’s existing protection for gaps and returns recommendations about areas that need attention.
Antivirus, privacy and firewall checks
The assessment covers antivirus, online privacy and firewall protection. McAfee Security Scan Plus scans these areas and alerts you when it finds weaknesses or incomplete protection. Its recommendations are based on the protection already present on the PC.
McAfee Security Scan Plus does not remove viruses. McAfee Total Protection, offered separately, includes antivirus scanning and threat removal.
Scan schedule
You can open McAfee Security Scan Plus to start a scan yourself, or let the program run automatically. It also allows a schedule of your own, so protection checks can recur without starting each one manually.
