Please read that review before continuing. Given there's so little difference, I'm not going to recap my review of the entry-level suite.

The final step up to McAfee LiveSafe gets you multiple password manager licenses and exactly one new feature, an encrypted cloud storage system with unusual biometric authentication. Specifically, the entry-level suite adds an ineffective parental control app, a spam filter that you may not need, and a password manager that focuses on multi-factor authentication. Stepping up to McAfee Internet Security (39.99 For the First Year at McAfee), doesn't add a lot. The McAfee line packs a huge feature set into McAfee Antivirus Plus. I typically review the antivirus, then summarize and reference that article in my review of the suite, working my way up the food chain. For example, Kaspersky offers a standalone antivirus, an entry-level security suite, and top-of-the-line mega-suite Kaspersky Total Security. Most security companies offer at least three levels of security protection. Both products really do give you unlimited licenses. Don't let the promise of 10 licenses on the Total Protection box confuse you that's just to catch your eye. On the shelves, McAfee emphasizes McAfee Total Protection, which differs from LiveSafe in just one feature. If you go looking for this product in a brick-and-mortar store, you won't find it. Note that these prices are frequently discounted. And while Panda Protection Complete costs just $74.99 per year for unlimited licenses, those licenses are only good on Windows and Android. Norton costs a little more, $109.99 per year, which gets you 10 cross-platform licenses and 25GB of online storage for your backups. To get unlimited licenses for Bitdefender Total Security, you must spring for the $119.99 Family Pack. Those unlimited licenses list for $99.99 per year, and that's not bad. There's no macOS version, though, and it's incompatible with iOS 11, too. The Personal Locker encrypted cloud storage feature in LiveSafe works with Windows 8 and newer, Android, and iOS 10 or lower. As you go up the ladder from the standalone antivirus to this suite, Windows devices get more security features, but protection on other platforms remains the same. That unlimited protection now applies to all of McAfee's security product line.
