McAfee Earns 29th Consecutive AAA Rating From SE Labs

McAfee has once again earned the highest possible AAA rating from SE Labs, marking the 29th consecutive time our consumer protection has received this top-tier recognition. 

In SE Labs’ latest Q4 Home Anti-Malware Test, McAfee Total Protection achieved 100% protection with zero false positives, reinforcing a streak that has remained unbroken since December 2018. 

What the SE Labs AAA Rating Measures 

SE Labs is an independent, UK-based security testing organization known for evaluating products against real-world threats, not just controlled lab samples. Its test results are therefore referenced and trusted by numerous journalists and product reviewers alike.  

Their Home Anti-Malware tests simulate the types of attacks people actually face, including: 

• Email-based threats 
• Malicious websites 
• Targeted attacks designed to appear relevant or trustworthy 
• Common malware encountered during everyday online activity 

To earn an AAA rating, products must demonstrate: 

• Strong threat detection 
• Effective prevention before harm occurs 
• Minimal false positives that disrupt normal use 

Why This Recognition Matters for Consumers 

For people choosing security software, independent testing helps answer a simple question: Does this protection actually work when it matters? SE Labs’ results show that McAfee continues to block threats accurately, without over-flagging safe activity. 

Independent recognition like this reinforces McAfee’s ongoing commitment to consumer-first security that is tested, proven, and trusted over time.
