Worse than any virus it could possibly prevent the constant notifications, the guilt trips, changing my search engine without my permission everytime I restart my laptop regardless of how many times I turn the feature off.... this software is unbelievably invasive!!! It got to the point of being so utterly infuriating that I had to uninstall it, and yet still, at least 4 months later, I open my laptop to find A NOTIFCIATION FROM MCAFEE! I have searched my laptop high and low to try and find any possible remnants of the software - nowhere to be found, at least under the name McAfee. It is impossible to get rid of, impossible to unsubscribe from, and even more impossible to bear to have on your device. Please, the large majority of operating systems will have built-in anti-malware functions, and if that is not enough for you (completely fair) then PLEASE look into a proper quality software that does not spam you with requests and slow down your device to no avail!!!!

A step too far - bereaved family I phoned to cancel my dad's account as he died two weeks ago. The agent tells me that his computer might become infected. They wanted to leave it to renew. I'd said multiple times that I wanted to cancel. What type of company tries the hard sell on a bereaved family member?

Subscription con scam company !! Mcafee or similar names they use or change to are ripping people off .if they have previously got payment they can take each year as they some how get your new long card number from your bank ? I question this as I never gave my bank permission to give these new details & got 5 years back that I never even realised had left my account. Macfee I don't trust won't ever use . Don't really want to give one star

A literal scam. A literal scam. Took my money but my account shows no subscriptions and no option to download it to my computer. The video instructions do not reflect the options I have on my account. Now no one will answer the phone and I can't request a refund because you need it show an active subscription to do that. But they definitely took my money and sent an email confirmation. What a joke and a scam. Steer WELL clear of McAfee.

I keep getting a message on my… I keep getting a message on my Chromebook that APPEARS to be coming from McAfee that says my PC is infected with 5 viruses and that my subscription has expired. Well, this is awfully strange given the fact that I renewed my subscription earlier this month and saved the email! I called their customer service department and the quality of service was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!! The first person I spoke to had a thick foreign accent, probably either Indian or Pakistani. I had to repeat my email address to her NO LESS THAN 3 TIMES and she still got it wrong! I asked to speak to someone else there and she said I couldn't do that. She finally transferred me to one of their "technical support" people who had an even thicker accent! He proceeded to tell me to download what were, according to him, the WRONG PROGRAMS that are used to remote into my computer. What's even worse was the way he tried to make it look like it was MY FAULT after I had downloaded the programs HE TOLD ME TO DOWNLOAD!!! He started with his "I'm sorry" you downloaded the wrong program speil and I hung up on him. McAfee is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with these people!!!!!!!
