McAfee

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!

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.

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".

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.

Dear McAfee technician and correspondent help. Thank you for your great support in helping me to install security on all my devices. I just want to express my gratitude for the three persons that assisted. Persons on chat Amal, and the persons who took control and guide the process. The tech who help my mobile devices. Thank you, great job. Your patience, your kindness and explanations. All of you are a great asset to the company. Thank you, great job.

Attempts to contact the service for cancellation is impossible. Have tried telephone and was disconnected. Had a Chat session with an individual which lasted 20 min and was informed my account was cancelled. The next day my was charged bank acct was charged again before normal cycle. This company does not respond to complaints. Should be prosecuted.

I canceled Safe Connect in March and had a confirmation case #. My credit card is still getting charged. Called and representative McAfee said it was not completely canceled, only the access key was removed but the not the subscription. This is a thief behavior, robbing customers.

Beware McAfee Anti-Virus Software. My subscription to my McAfee Anti-virus software recently expired so I clicked on the provided link to renew. Having duly paid the $39.99 renewal fee I downloaded the update but had to call a provided number to have the software activated. The call respondent had me download software to take control of my computer. He spent a long time explaining that my system was not fully covered and had several exposures. Problems that precluded him from finish the installation of the software with correction of the problem. Unsurprisingly, he had a solution for me: For only $449 he could clear the issues and offer me lifetime protection or a one year solution for only $299! When I refused, he asked my my age then told me he could offer me a senior citizens price that was slightly lower.
