McAfee Reviews

An adequate anti-virus program, have not had any virus problems. Downside: As many others have noted, their constant pop-ups are an irritation and a time-waster.

I believe this is ran by bunch of liberals as they removed the option where I can turn off their pop-ups. If this is not changed by the time my subscription runs out, I will go somewhere else and I'm not alone on this. Maybe the Beekeeper needs to be sent in!

I would give it a negative 10 if I could. Even after cancelling it will continue to slow down your pc. A red screen will pop up saying that you have to delete it from your pc and it will freeze with the red screen and you'll have to restart it and hit for the best. I did delete it from pc and I'm still getting a pop up box with the done box already lit up. I will have to hover over the real bear for several minutes until it poops up so I can get a red x to exit out. I believe they've put a virus in their software that slows down your pc when you cancel and delete.

Absolutely crap, I had the pro protection $214. It do anything they said. I got pics of its lack of effectiveness. When I called I got a song and dance why it’s possibly not working correctly! They did not refund me any amount for the two months of headaches!

It took support 90 minutes to stop the pop up advertising that occurs 3x per minute. Eventually I wanted and was send an email for me to purchase a subscription. After following instructions, I could not log-in. Chat responded that I had to phone in. I called 3 times and each time a support person hung up on me.

I reformatted my hard drive without removing the software. I contacted customer service as mentioned on their website for assistance in removing. The agent (only shows “agent” in the chat) wanted to argue with me stating that I can remove the device on my own even after I copied and pasted where it says on their website that we cannot remove the device on our own. Eventually the agent removed the device. Perhaps a learning opportunity here versus an agent that wants to argue with a customer regarding an issue that they’ve not trained on would be helpful.

McAfee came preinstalled on my PC and my laptop. I already have an antivirus subscription that I'm happy with, so I "uninstalled" McAfee. I could not remove the folders from either and continuously got license renewal popups. I tried the removal tool on their website to no effect. I finally tried a third-party erasure program which got rid of the folders and seemingly the popups on the PC. The popups still show up continuously on the laptop though. I'm annoyed enough that if McAfee was the cheapest & best program, I'd still never recommend or use it.

I'm writing this review because I finally managed to get rid of this stupid application and now wish to spit on its grave one last time. Despite not paying for it for the past five years, it has remained on my computer like a malignant tumor, taking up storage and bothering me with pop-ups every day. I tried deleting it, but it refused to see me as an administrator and would not let itself be removed in my settings or in its file folder. It took getting some 3rd party McAfee remover to finally get rid of the thing. The remover didn't even work all the way as McAssfee still refused to die, but it cripped that cancer of a file folder well enough that I could finally remove it manually. I say this sincerely, I hope you rot in every hell, McAfee, and never show your malignant face on any of my devices ever again.

McAfee is good but I get constant requests to upgrade to eliminate different problems. They are always asking me to upgrade in their pop-ups. I do an automatic scan but to repair (I only had my computer one week) over one thousand problems I need to upgrade my package for $35 plus. I thought all of that was part of my original package, nope. All in all I am happy so far. I just wish the pop-ups to upgrade would stop.

I am writing this review due to the instant pop ups I never asked for. Once every few hours or sometimes every few minutes I will get constant popup ads that will not let me exit easily. These pop ups have probably wasted an hour of my life in total in the past few weeks due to how hard it is to get out of it and go back to what I was doing. It could take up to several minutes to get rid of pop up. I wouldn't have left any review, but now I am writing it out of spite. I don't care how good your system or app is, now I will never use it it due to how much this company has wasted my time.
