2. Open the McAfee app on your phone and navigate to the "Privacy" section.

3. Tap on "Safe Web Browsing" to turn it on.

4. When enabled, all your web traffic will be protected by McAfee's encryption and sent through a secure, encrypted connection. This helps prevent websites from tracking your online activities, and also protects your data from prying eyes.

5. To further enhance your privacy, you can enable "Private Browsing" mode in your phone's browser. This mode does not store your browsing history, search history, or temporary files. To enable private browsing, follow these steps:

 In Google Chrome: Tap the three dots in the upper right corner, then select "New Incognito Tab."

 In Safari: Tap the tabs button in the bottom right corner, then select "Private."

6. While browsing privately, you should also avoid using public Wi-Fi networks as they are not secure. Instead, use your phone's cellular data or connect to a secure Wi-Fi network.

7. To prevent unwanted access to your phone, make sure to lock it with a strong password or biometric authentication.

8. Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet traffic and hide your IP address. McAfee.com/activate offers a VPN solution called McAfee Safe Connect.

By following these steps, you can greatly enhance your privacy and security while browsing on your phone with McAfee antivirus. However, it's important to keep in mind that no security solution is foolproof, and it's always a good idea to exercise caution and be mindful of the information you share online.
