McAfee

Never ever use auto - renew - it is a con, you pay for a year but they auto renewal taking your money at the beginning of the 11th month. Also on their own website they advertise special offers which are much better deals and cheaper than auto renewal. Auto renewal is a con. New customers get a much better choice and deal.

I purchased McAfee antivirus and actually my computer had some other issues and they would not give me a refund. Never used it. Never installed it. Never did anything. These people are trash. I wouldn't recommend them to a dog. They need Federal lawsuits filed on them. Please don't buy nothing from these people.

I came home from vacation and found McAfee had charged my new credit card for a product that I did not order. They agreed to refund the amount they charged but could not explain to me how they got all the information on my new credit card without my knowledge or consent. BUYERS BEWARE.

McAfee slows down your PC so much, way too expensive, and had to uninstall. It should not come pre-installed on any computer. I am so glad it uninstalled it. How are they still in business? So many people have had the same experience.

As per other people, I contacted McAfee to cancel my subscription after it had been automatically renewed (A WHOLE MONTH EARLY). They stated that they would refund me, and that it would take 5 working days. It is now 2 weeks later and I have still not received my £89.99. On the day that they took my subscription, their website stated that the product had been reduced from £89.99 to £45! I have been in touch with them on the 0800 number, only to be going around in circles. This company needs investigating. I note that another reviewer has still not received a refund, even after 3 months! This is disgraceful. I am now waiting for an 'Accounts Supervisor' to ring me back, but I don't hold out much hope. I intend to take this matter further. They should not be holding onto people's money. I am sure that in the past I have taken my 'Automatic Renewal' off, but it appears to have magically turned itself back to 'On'.

All good with the McAfee until renewing my account. I’ve closed that c card so they couldn’t charge me automatically. Emails came. And when intruded to renew it was 70$, actually more expensive than if you would wanna purchase a new license. Now here’s the best part of it . My computer started to be “glitchy”. Couldn’t browse etc. I’ve uninstalled McAfee and guess what, computer runs smooth and fine. Is this what you scammers do now. You actually put a virus on that so call antivirus that slows computers down if you don’t renew your subscription? SHAME SHAME SHAME.

My credit card was automatically charged for another year in May 2019. I called and canceled immediately. They claim that I would get my refund. I called about a week or two later and they claimed it was refunded. It was not and now it's been 3 months and I'm still waiting. Never subscribe to this company!

Today I noticed a sub-folder that appeared under my Outlook Inbox called McAfee Anti-Spam. I wasn't too alarmed at first as I have McAfee LiveSafe installed as my anti-virus software. However, when I opened that folder, I found a lot of emails in there that aren't SPAM. Sure, that can happen, I've seen it before but what troubled me is that all of the e-mails in there were from my different Bank Accounts, Experian correspondences, and some of my business e-mails. So I looked at the settings for LiveSafe and noticed that e-mails flagged as ANTI-SPAM are forwarded to McAfee. The default selection is "Entire Email".

The problem with McAfee is once it's in your life it never goes away. I had it preinstalled on my Lenovo gaming laptop and they give you the bogus deal to activate it for 70% off and I took the bait. It was more annoying than anything with pointless popups telling me I'm still ok. I canceled it and that is when it got bad. Every time I got onto my laptop after the subscription ended it would remind me every day that I am at risk and the pop ups would close games I'm in and ruin my position. When going to program files to uninstall it tells me I don't have the admin rights to delete it. Hard factory reset and the virus of a program is still there. So do not buy if you are in it for the long haul because it will not leave you. Keep in mind this is my first time seeking out a place to leave a review to hopefully save a device out there.

I installed McAfee as an assistant to help keep my PC safe. Throughout the years of having it, I've come to realize my computer is slower, weaker, can barely stay connected to the internet anymore, and God do I have to pray to not lag while playing Plants Vs Zombies, base game. Which come on, do you know my specs? Do you know the games requirements? My computer boasts power that should be able to easily run it (I used to run it super fast before McAfee got involved). Let's not mention how obnoxious it is just to remove the program, due to having 3-4 different sub-installed programs you can't just remove the program the easy way, it takes 3 restarts to finish rather than just uninstalling all and restarting once. PLEASE either make your program YOUR program or make it less blatant that your Norton ** is up.
