Mcafee Big Sur

Note: The incompatible versions of McAfee Active Response, Threat Prevention, Adaptive Threat Protection, and MVISION EDR detected during the upgrade will not be started. To restore functionality, deploy a compatible version of these products that supports Big Sur. For information about compatible Big Sur versions, see McAfee Knowledge Base article KB90888.
Mac users:If you have upgraded to Big Sur (macOS 11); For McAfee version 4.9.x users,a popup message from McAfee is displayed, perform a manual update as listed under Step 2 in the article TS103036. If the manual update failed, please contact support.
Apple created two paths on their Software Development Kit (SDK). One for current and future products, and another for backwards compatibility. When it queries the Mac operating system, MA incorrectly returns the macOS as version 10.16. Conflicts in reporting through ePO queries and reports causes confusion on what Mac operating system is installed on the client.

I had McAfee installed on my Mac Mini (late 2014) I updated the OS to Big Sur and the McAfee software did not work. I called McAfee and was on the phone with them for over an hour trying to reinstall their software. They could not get it to work and suggested I contact Apple support. If I can't get my Mac Mini to take the reinstallation is it true that the Apple software has it's own virus protection built in or should I try reinstalling somehow the previous version I had on my Mac?

How to download and install McAfee

There are three ways to install and activate McAfee Security on your device — do it all directly from the link in My CenturyLink (we recommend this way), download the app from your app store and then log in to My CenturyLink for the activation code or send a link to another device.

Follow the instructions below and contact us if you have any problems.

Option 1 (Recommended): Download McAfee from My CenturyLink

Sign in to the My CenturyLink website from the device on which you want to install McAfee. If you don't yet have a My CenturyLink account, learn how to create one.
Click the Download McAfee Security link from the 'Important Messages' box on your home screen or from the 'My Products' menu. This will launch the McAfee site in a new browser tab or window. You’ll see two options on that new page: 'Download' or “Send Link.”
Click the Download button and follow the instructions to install the program on your device. This will download the program and the activation code all in one step.

Option 2: Download McAfee from your app store, then get an activation code

If you've downloaded the McAfee Security app directly from your app store (Google Play or Apple App Store), you can get your activation code from My CenturyLink.
Sign in to the My CenturyLink website from the device on which you've installed the app. If you don't yet have a My CenturyLink account, learn how to create one.
Click the Download McAfee Security link from the 'Important Messages' box on your home screen or from the 'My Products' menu. This will launch the McAfee site in a new browser tab or window. You’ll see two options on that new page: 'Download' or “Send Link.”
Click the Download button to get the activation code for the device on which you've downloaded the app.

Option 3: Send a download link to another device

You also have the option to send a link to another device for installation (for example, another household member who does not have your CenturyLink account login information):

Log in to My CenturyLink and click on Download McAfee Security from the 'Important Messages' box on your home screen or from the 'My Products' menu.
Choose Send Link and enter the email address you want the download sent to.
* For the best experience, we recommend you do the next two stepsfrom the device you want the program installed on:
Open the email from CenturyLink with the subject “CenturyLink Security by McAfee download” and click the Protect Me button for Mobile or for Windows & Mac (both options open to the same page).
This opens a new page with tabs for PC, Mobile or Mac. Choose the device you want to download the app onto and click the Download button.
