How McAfee's Scam Detector Works
McAfee's Scam Detector starts with McAfee Smart AI the same technology that already powers the McAfee+ protection preinstalled on Windows Home PCs. From there, it helps to keep you safe from video, email, and text message scams.
Email Scam Detector
Checks your inbox for suspicious emails and flags risky messages before you even open them. It also explains why a message is dangerous, so you’ll know what to look out for next time.
The best part is that we do this automatically. Once it's set up, McAfee's Scam Detector goes to work immediately. No need to copy, paste, or second-guess if a message is fake - we take care of it all for you, in seconds. If we spot something sketchy, the Scam Detector lets you know, whether that's on your video sharing sites, email inbox, or mobile app.
Video Scam Protection
Spots AI-made videos, letting you know if something you’re watching may not be what it seems. Whether it’s someone pretending to be your boss or a fake celebrity endorsement, Scam Detector makes sure you don’t get fooled.
Text Scam Detector
Detects suspect texts that scammers use to trick you into giving them money, flags messages with risky links, before you open them, and gives you clear explanations of why they’re dangerous.
