McAfee Helps Customers Prevent Identity and Bank Account Theft

Family man from Florida explains,
"We feel much more secure using McAfee."

The most dangerous hackers online today want to hijack your unprotected information to use for identity and bank theft. These hackers want to take over vulnerable home computers to mask their identity as they perform further illegal acts - including installing spyware.

Because many families do not maintain adequate security to protect their computers - families have become easy prey to the illegal motives of computer hackers. The Wierzbowski family of Florida, however, seem like unlikely victims - "I've been aware of the need for PC security since we got our first home computer in 1999," explained Jon Wierzbowski. "I did comparison shopping for a security solution and saw that McAfee® came highly recommended."

Jon, a police officer and professor in his mid-40s, trusts and uses McAfee to protect his family's several computers. "I use our computers for email, photos, music, surfing, online banking, and occasional purchases." Jon further explains that he feels 100% confident that all of his computers are properly protected and carefully loaded with all the right security software.

Jon uses McAfee Wireless Protection to protect his computers from the potential hacking concerns that accompany the use of wireless Internet in his home. Jon understands completely that he's at additional risk when using the Internet with a wireless connection.

"Our biggest concerns are identity theft and bank account theft," Jon said. "With the increase in identity theft, we all need better security now and in the future, and McAfee is the best available."

McAfee employs only the top talent in the computer industry. This way McAfee can ensure that it is giving its customers only the best possible service and the best possible protection for its customers. A subscription to McAfee also ensures that Jon's software is always uploading and is prepared to face the challenges of surfing the Internet.

As an officer of the law, Jon is very aware of the hazards and dangers associated with growing up in a wireless society. With online predators, inappropriate content, and other dangers, Jon counts on McAfee to protect his children from the dangers of online predators.

McAfee's customer service is also what sold Jon and his wife Kara on buying its computer software - "McAfee's online customer service, with its live chat function, is very helpful when we have questions," Jon explained. "Theft will always be a concern as we shop, communicate, and surf online-that's just reality. But we feel much more secure using McAfee."

McAfee uses the most up-to-date anti-phishing technologies to protect identity and bank theft in order to protect the identities of customers like Jon and Kara. McAfee Internet Security Suite guarantees trusted PC protection from viruses, hackers, and spyware. Thanks to McAfee and their protection, Jon explains, he can rest easy knowing that his family is protected.
