McAfee Anti-tracker prevents companies and advertisers from tracking or collecting your online activity and personal data by masking it in ways a simple VPN or incognito mode fall short.

Companies and advertisers can build a profile around information that your browser sends when you access a webpage. This includes dozens of data points like your geo location, installed plugins, hardware configuration, browsing activity and more, allowing companies to generate a unique ‘fingerprint’ based on your data.

McAfee Anti-tracker will block attempts made by companies to track your data. Additionally, McAfee masks these data points and continuously refreshes your online fingerprint, so you can keep your online activity private.

Every time I check to ensure the scan etc are removed, I ask to buy the same product again, but the plan is not working.

Hallo Ute, das Programm muss im Browser installiert werden, es ist ein Add-on. Deshalb hat es wahrscheinlich bei Dir nicht geklappt. Bei mir lief es bis jetzt reibungslos. Den Punktabzug gebe ich deshalb, weil ich die Erklärung der verschiedenen Versionen von McAfee unzureichend finde. Ich habe "Life Safe" und es wurde ein Angebot zu einer KI gestützten Version gemach, was ich eigentlich sehr gut finde. Die Frage ist nur, ist bei dem Programm ein Safe dabei und wie wird das laufende Konto abgerechnet wenn ich umsteige? Viele Fragen und wenig Antworten.
