What price do you put on keeping your computer safe from viruses? How about $10? That’s how much McAfee AntiVirus costs right now as part of the Best Buy Black Friday deals and there’s never been a better time to keep your computer secure for less.

McAfee AntiVirus is normally priced at $40 but right now, you can buy it for just $10 at Best Buy. That works out at a savings of 75% off the usual price. If you don’t already have anti-virus protection for your PC, there’s simply no reason to not snatch it up now. Think of it this way — it’s peace of mind for a whole year for basically the price of two coffees.

For $10, you get one year’s worth of McAfee AntiVirus protection for one device. That might be a little limiting if you want to protect a whole network of systems at home but it’s the ideal starting point if you simply need to keep an eye on your family PC. For more extensive protection, you may wish to consider McAfee Total Protection instead, especially if you’re looking for a small business solution.

McAfee AntiVirus is super simple to use. The software regularly keeps an eye out for any potential threats on your PC, including viruses, malware, and spyware. It also helps you avoid opening risky websites, links or files, before you get too deep into trouble, cutting off any issues at the source. It’s simple to set up manual scans or leave the software to do its own thing, meaning it’s ideal for both novice and advanced users alike. In the past, antivirus software may have slowed down aging PCs but McAfee AntiVirus has been designed in a way that means it has a small system footprint ensuring your PC performance is untouched at all times. It’ll even digitally ‘shred’ your documents ensuring no one can ever access them again.

Simple to use but with a lot of functionality, McAfee AntiVirus is a great starting point for most home setups. Just bear in mind that this is a physical copy so you’ll have to go in-store to collect it rather than simply download a product key from Best Buy.

The iPhone Duo taught the iPad a much-needed lesson in multitasking. iPadOS 27.2 makes Split View less of a chore.
A small iPad tweak that fixes a big daily annoyance.

It’s funny when a brand-new phone teaches an old tablet a lesson. That’s exactly what the iPhone Duo seems to have done for the iPad. I’m genuinely glad somebody at Apple was paying attention, as it was overdue.

iPadOS 27.2 makes setting up side-by-side apps on an iPad much easier, and it is an iPad multitasker’s dream come true if you ask me.

Google’s next Googlebook could make your Android tablets feel outdated
Googlebooks are moving beyond traditional laptops, and the next one might look more like a tablet.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Googlebooks have only been around for a little over a month, but Google is already looking beyond traditional laptops. The company has confirmed that detachable Googlebooks are on the way, meaning we could soon see devices that work as both a tablet and a laptop without carrying two separate gadgets.

The announcement came during the Android Dev Summit 2026, where Google outlined its plans to expand the Googlebook lineup beyond the clamshell and convertible designs currently available. While the company hasn't revealed an official launch date or shown any hardware, an earlier leak suggests Lenovo could be the first manufacturer to bring one to market.
