Online fraud is becoming increasingly rampant. To ensure user safety, McAfee launched a new artificial intelligence fraud detection tool at the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show. This tool is designed to help users identify various fraudulent messages, including email, text message and video scams, effectively improve the security of personal information and reduce the risk of financial losses. McAfee is committed to using AI technology to build a safer online environment for users. This free fraud detector will become a powerful weapon for users to resist online fraud.
In today's context of increasing online fraud, the well-known security software company McAfee launched a new artificial intelligence fraud detection tool at the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES2025). This tool is designed to help users identify various email, text message and video scam messages before they are scammed, and improve the security of personal information.
"Scammers are getting smarter every day, leveraging technologies like artificial intelligence to make their scams more believable and harder to identify," McAfee Chief Technology Officer Steve Grobman said in the release. Scams usually exploit people's sense of fear, urgency, and trust to obtain benefits. Therefore, we developed McAfee Scam Detector, which uses AI technology to warn users of scam information in advance, help users control their personal information, and cultivate their anti-fraud capabilities. "
This new feature is completely free for existing McAfee users and requires no additional action. McAfee's intelligent AI will monitor users' mailboxes in real time, automatically identify and flag suspicious emails, detect and alert users of risky text messages that could put them in financial trouble, and also be able to identify deep fake videos generated based on AI. AI will also provide users with clear explanations on how dangerous these scams are and what they should be concerned about.
Users of the McAfee app do not need to take any manual action and the new fraud detection feature will be enabled automatically. However, users may need to link their Gmail or Outlook account with the tool to take full advantage of the mail detection feature. All customers with McAfee+, McAfee Total Protection and McAfee LiveSafe plans will be able to use the AI fraud detector at no additional cost when it launches this spring.

Let’s look forward to this tool bringing security to more users after it is officially launched in the spring.
