Does McAfee actually work on iPhone?
I really think it's a scam.
How much do they charge for their software? I know the answer to that, but does anyone actually use it on an iPhone? I'm so tired of finding out after the fact that they don't work, and the phone can't sync. Re: McAfee doesn't work on iPhone. McAfee has been my mainstay on my iphone since day one, i've never had a problem with it on my phone. It's a free trial so you're not going to get billed unless you actually decide to download it. It is also a good application for tracking your kids and for monitoring your email in case your phone gets lost, so if your iphone is stolen and someone tries to use it to do all those things, it will alert you.
The only time i've had any issues is when i've had a virus on my computer and forgot to scan my iphone before syncing. That was my first time using it.
I would be very wary of any software that offers you a "free trial" for something like a product that you already pay for. I agree with what was said about not paying for something you're not sure it's going to work on.
If you're not paying for McAfee, why are you even on here? Do you just need a little attention? The software was free, so there was no need to pay for it. As for why I'm on here, I'm not sure. Maybe I just enjoy posting on the forums. I'm not sure why I am on this site. I just post here from time to time.

I'm using McAfee Mobile Security on my iPhone 5c running iOS 9.
When I'm connected to wifi and I browse the web, it seems to detect when there's a virus on the pages I'm viewing but it doesn't appear to do anything about it.
When I unplug my phone and re-connect it, it tells me that it's detected a virus and that I need to update McAfee which is the antivirus suite that I have already installed. Is there a way to get it to show a message or to make it do something more about it? If there is a program that works better than McAfee for iPhone, I'm open to suggestions. No you can not. IPhone does not support anti-virus app.
You can use itunes to check the app compatibility for other platforms if you have mac and pc version of it.
Why is the McAfee app not working?
The McAfee app on your Android phone is designed to be a companion to the McAfee Total Protection and other McAfee Mobile Security apps.
It adds a layer of protection and offers tools and controls to help keep your device and its content safe. It also helps you manage, track and control your purchases with McAfee Secure.
The McAfee app is designed to run in the background. It does this using the following system permission.

Access personal and medical information: Allows an application to read data from your contacts (persistent identifier) and system databases. Read and modify the contents of your USB storage: Allows an application to read and modify the contents of your USB storage, including any device, folder, or file, which is protected by security permissions.

I'm writing this because I'm currently looking for solutions, to resolve problems I have since about week 3 or 4 I updated my phone from Cyanogen to Lollipop. At first everything was great then suddenly my download manager wouldn't start again. I then got the 'Google Play Services error' that stopped me from downloading apps from Google Play, but now everything works great. However, for some reason my McAfee app isn't working anymore and I've had a lot of problems with it crashing in the past.
