McAfee Reviews

I purchased a one-year subscription to Mcafee Total Protection for $ 26.95 and after I was charged for that amount I could not get it to download. I tried for several days of dealing with their Customer Support trying to get a refund, the Middle Eastern sounding fellow talked me into letting him install 5 years of Mcafee Total Protection for $127.95 so I gave him access to our computer so he could install it. Afterwards I could see where I had Mcafee installed on our computer for five years so I thought everything was fine.

McAfee was included in a deal I had with my internet provider. It didn't cost me extra which is always something that I appreciate. It was an easy investment that has served me well. It works behind the scenes and seems to protect me well. It also prompts me when there is a problem. I don't have to think about it and that makes me happy that I chose this product.

I like McAfee because of the security and the reminders it has for you for your updates and subscriptions. It also comes with a lot of valuable tools. The customer service of this program is hard to match. My overall experience with this software was amazing. It kept my computer, my files and my information safe. I chose this software above all else because of the direct customer service and helpfulness of all of the tools it comes with. But I would like to make the cost for all of the features a bit more affordable to the general public. Not every person with a computer can afford the luxury of paying monthly/yearly for total protection of their computer.

It was referred to me by the company that sold my computer to me. The gentleman said it was one of the best and it's proven itself to me. They are dependable. I've had this service as long as I've had a computer and I've never had issues at all with my computer. The price was within my range and the service was simple to install. Their services are great. But maybe the price could come down a bit since this is a service that everyone should have. They could add some more features to make the service more appealing to purchase.

Spent hours on phone with McAfee customer support from India. Ask for customer service in USA as I was having trouble understanding the rep. Was told McAfee is a global company now. He could try to transfer me but I would probably not get customer service in USA. I was told this by 2 reps and 2 supervisors. 12 hours later the problem was still not solved. Next day another customer service supervisor called. By then I had taken the auto pay off my account and had paid for and downloaded a different Antivirus program on my cpu. I figure if US dollars are good enough to sign up they ought to be good enough to get USA support. DONE WITH MCAFEE. Recommend all my friends DO NOT USE MCAFEE.

This antivirus was recommended to me and I did not find it to be superior to other software currently on the market but I liked some of the features. I like the web protection it offers which can help to screen viruses that live out in cyberspace that can infect your computer as you surf the internet. I also liked that it included auto updates which ran automatically when the company released them. However, it was inefficient at stopping the newest Trojans and worms that live out on the internet.

I read reviews on it and saw great things. It was recommended to me by IT specialist at the Nebraska Furniture Mart store when I bought a new computer. The price is not bad at all. It is good value for the money. I like how I can set up a billing agreement or payment plan and pay every month, three months, 6 months or yearly. I like the customer support and also the security checks and warnings I get with my system to make sure everything is taken care of. I like how easy it is to download and use. I also like the features where you can clean your system and detect and block or potential bugs and viruses. The only thing is maybe a free three month trial for new customers and that way they can actually see what it does and how to work with it on their computer. Also for customers who already have the service if they pay for a year give them a year free.

The McAfee antivirus software was recommended to me by those in IT. Also, I have read articles and paid attention to posts that say this antivirus software is of good quality. The McAfee antivirus software runs in the background and it also pop ups and gives warnings before you go to a website. The antivirus software also stops pop up advertisements. I like how I can manually scan for viruses or it is done automatically. I like feeling safe while I am working on my computer, be it using Facebook, email, or generally surfing the web. Also, I deal with my credit card and banking on the internet, so the antivirus software helps me to feel more secure in actions that deal with my finances. I use the computer to access medical records for myself and members of my family.

This software came with my computer and I've seen how well it worked so I decided to purchase it. The product is very well made, the features are quick and easy and it is not hard to operate the program. You can set it up to run on its own and it doesn't take very long. I never had any problems with the product or understanding any of its components. However, it's a bit pricey. More people would purchase the software if it were more affordable. But it's a very good software and it works as it should. It is simple, easily understood and has protected my computer for years. I would recommend it to anyone who asks me about an antivirus software.

McAfee was just what I usually use and it's very user friendly. The software is easy to use and easy to access. I have used it for years so it's something that I'm familiar with. However, it doesn't always update and it's not always dependable and the price is sometimes higher. But, overall experience is awesome. I would definitely use again and I would tell all my friends and family this is the one to go with without a doubt.

I used the McAfee antivirus software and liked the affordability and protection that the software gave me and my computers to do all that I needed. The virus scan and the cost was affordable. It didn't update unless I wanted it to and I was able to control the software program. I felt my computer was protected. My experience was a positive and unique one and I would definitely use the software again in the future if need be for future computers and laptops.

I have a great experience with McAfee. My family uses this program and used this program at work as well. It's easy to install, the help of program techs are answered reasonably quick and accurate. All features are so easy to follow. My great grandchildren can use it with no problem. Visual aid is available if needed and the step by step instructions are easy. 24 hour assistance is also available.

I am familiar with McAfee and that is why I chose it for my personal computer. It is very convenient and helps a lot with my work from home business and protecting me from viruses on websites that could harm my computer. It is safe and worth the money you pay. I also like that it protects your identity and personal information on websites. It is all perfectly fine up to date. I dislike the price of the software though. It could be a little lesser in price and that would be perfect.

McAfee is a trusted, well-known brand that is readily available to purchase. I did not have any problems with the software. It was a very simple process to follow and everything went really smooth. It did not take very long and the software did everything it was designed to do. You just click through the questions and answers and the software does the work. It's easy to use. But the whole idea that something is wrong with your computer is a stressful thought so explaining the process beforehand could help keep people from stressing out.

I work for a company that has a lot of assets to protect and with McAfee, I know that my work is safe and protected. My overall experience is great. I get alerted when something seems off or fishy but it doesn't affect my work. I can still do what I need to do on my computer with no problems. I would recommend.

I like McAfee. It came pre-installed on my current computer. I've never had any issues with it interfering with any running programs, or preventing any programs from running. It's helped keep my computer clean and free of malware. It's easy to use and effective. It performs the scheduled checks, and I just have to remove any malware. But sometimes the scans pop at inconvenient times, which can cause frustration when I'm doing something time sensitive. It can take a few minutes to get the scan to stop.

I unfortunately downloaded "Free Trial" of McAfee Safe Connect in Dec.2, 2017. I noticed the charge of $6.99 on my bank account in Jan. 2018. I tried to log in to my McAfee account to cancel the subscription but the information given in the email from McAfee confirming my original subscription did not allow for cancellation. I contacted McAfee by phone on Feb. 9th and was on the call for 1 1/2 hours and the representatives could not assist me. They "sent it to a higher level" and assured me that it would be taken care of...

I bought a subscription for McAfee Safe Connect which was advertised as a month-long trial. It didn't work for me, so I contacted McAfee online support to have the subscription canceled and get a refund two days after I made the purchase. The agent assured me that my request for refund was accepted and would be reviewed within the next few days. A month later, I saw another charge as if I never requested for cancellation and refund of the first one. I called them and asked them to stop charging me because I wasn't using the service and had already put my request in for cancellation and refund. I did not authorize further charges.

I purchased software the year before on 3/30/17 for $29.99. I did not receive any auto renewal warning, nor did I enroll in auto renewal when I signed up for the subscription. I received an email on 2/28/18 that I was charged $99.99 with their auto renewal. I didn't get a heads up on this and was charged a complete month in advance! I went to their page and logged into my account to verify that it wasn't a phishing email. On their website I was given a chance to sent an escalations email for it to be addressed. I got an email confirmation regarding this message.

Honestly, I can not remember when I downloaded their software. If in case, I downloaded any software but I forgot, with my characters. I carefully to see how much they charge for the software before making decision to buy, actually they did not say anything about fee out of subscription (as their symbol showed in my computer). One more thing made me surprise where they get my credit card info?? I have not felt their software working on my laptop until yesterday 23/2/18. I saw they charge $149.95 from my account? There is no signals from them (no invoices to be sent and no communicate at all) - quietly withdraw people money?

McAfee was recommended to me by the employees of the store so I took not only their recommendation but the sales price, too. It was easy to install and monitor. But even though it showed things to watch, some things were not clear. Still, it was overall good.

The software is fairly easy to set up and use. It does a good job of anti-virus protection on files and websites. It does not have a large performance impact and has options for automatic and manually initiated scans. But it allowed an infection through. It should be more proactive in detection to ensure 100% prevention. It should also be more cost-effective. Otherwise my overall experience has generally been positive with this software.

The class I am taking requires us to utilize the deep web for assignments and I've heard from classmates who have Norton that they keep getting malware. McAfee was free with my laptop purchase and was highly recommended by the salesman at Best Buy. It keeps my computer from crashing and allows me to complete my homework without allowing viruses to attach which would make my computer be unusable. I also like the fact that I don't get viruses from the deep web. But I wish that it didn't do so many updates and put my computer down for an hour each time it does that because this always makes it difficult to do my online homework in the allotted timeframe.

Absolutely positively the best! I like the versatility of the program and what it does for my computers. It has all the features you could want or need. McAfee is an honest and trustworthy company that has been around for years. It has yet to give me any problems at all and has been the best program to use on my computers at home and at work. My overall experience with this antivirus software has been phenomenal. I have used in the past and always been satisfied with.

I liked that this software is safe, reasonable to use, and was able to notify me or give me a pop-up if something was wrong and give me warnings of what to look for. It kept viruses away and I barely noticed if I had one on my laptop. The only thing I do not like is all the pop-ups that come on the screen every now and it be in the way when I'm on the computer. They were really aggravating. I think a good way for communication also is by email to notify me with updates on the software and to send warnings. But I do not mind the pop-up warnings on the screen. I had this software for a few years and I rarely had any problems with my computer slowing down while I'm using it.

I don't really like McAfee but it's what comes with my AOL subscription. It is not effective at getting rid of viruses. It basically just detects issues and then tells you in order to actually get rid of them, you'll have to upgrade and purchase another program. That makes it virtually worthless by taking forever, taking over my computer, and then not doing anything when it finds something anyway. It's ridiculously slow and I don't like that it conflicts with other programs by causing major lag or complete freezing just to run. It doesn't give you any prior warning when it's going to start doing any kind of scan. It needs a major overhaul.

McAfee's reliable as it seems. It has been around for so many years and has paved the way for a lot of anti virus softwares. However, there are too many popups and updates which could be a pro and con. It's also not very affordable compared to other products that have delivered better results.

It was an easy decision for me to pick it. I choose it because it is the best in the business and my overall experience with this antivirus software has been great. It is reliable and it is safe. I love that I do not have to think about it. It's not flashy and just gets the job done. When something is wrong it is fixed in a timely manner. I feel like it's protective. I like that it tells you when to renew membership and alerts when something is wrong. It has everything I am looking for in an antivirus software.

It is very good and a pleasure to have on my computer. And not just on computers but also laptops and tablets could benefit. It is also very, very affordable that a low income individual could afford it. And it's very, very easy to use, easy as you can imagine.

I loved that I got it for free initially! It was easy to install and use and offered peace of mind. It is trustworthy and I liked that I could feel confident using my computer without worrying about viruses or malware. It seemed to be effective and I like it, however, it can be cost prohibitive. I stopped using it because I didn't have the funds to continue. If it were cheaper, I would use it again. I had a good experience and I would recommend it to others with the disclaimer that it was a bit expensive.

I felt secure using this software, it was highly recommended by friend and family members, quick and easy to use, even for individuals who aren't super computer literate. I really liked this software, it was super easy to install even someone who never has used this software and I have recommended it to some of my neighbors. Plus they have customer service professionals who speak different languages.

It offers to protect up to 5 computers if you pick the big package deal at Walmart. It was a decent priced one at Walmart and offered a lot of coverage for my computer mainly for what I do on it with our business. Only put it one or two computers depending on the price you wanna pay and when it's ready to expire it keeps sending messages. I chose it because it was the cheapest one at Walmart but don't like that it last a year. It does what it's suppose to do though so it makes it worth the money you pay for it. And some you can put on more than one computer depending on which one you buy.

This software was recommended by the technician who installed other software products. The cost was within my budget and it was a necessity so I purchased it. It is easy to install and does not require too much work to activate. I appreciate that often a brief trial period is offered so you are able to see how it works.

McAfee is a company that I trust. It's easy to use and it protected my computer. The scanning done its job on time. If anything came up that wasn't safe it blocked it. But it wasn't hooked in with my telephone provider. It was something I would have to pay for and cost too much for me. I didn't like the set up and it also needs to be more user friendly. It was hard to figure out but it was ok once I got it. But I found one better with my telephone provider and it is free. Still I would tell others about McAfee because it is good service if they can afford it.

I have not experienced a virus problem since using this service. This product came free as a trial version when I purchased a preloaded new Windows 10 HP laptop. This software seems like a good value, easy to use and consistent. They are well known and I have yet to hear any negatives like some other anti-virus software programs, like Kaspersky for example. But I would like this antivirus software to be able to clear duplicate or unneeded files. Adding performance boosting tips and features would also be welcomed. I would not mind seeing a cleaner user interface either.

I originally used it because it was free and I thought it was going to be kind of crappy, but kept it when I saw how fast and easy it was to use. Anyone can learn how to use it not just tech focused people.

I purchased McAfee for two computers and I used it for about two years. I then cancelled it and went with another company, Norton. When I first signed up McAfee was pretty good but when I started to have problems it was very difficult to get help solving them. When you need help the people trying to help you cannot speak good English and are difficult to understand, so consequently my problems were not getting solved and I was getting too frustrated to continue having them as my service.

I had tried other antiviruses and they did not work at the performance that was advertised. McAfee has a lot more features for the money and all the features run as advertised. I like the fact that this product fixes problems automatically, and keeps me informed that when my computer needs to be updated. Just takes a few minutes and I can keep working. I don't have to shut the computer down. I like the feature that frees up space, and I can see how much space where it was freed up. And I don't have to check to see if it's working. It's a very cost-effective product and I am very happy with the extra features I get. However, the trial period is not 30 days as told. Also, I would like for the cost to be a little bit cheaper. Other than that this product that I have now has not disappointed me, and I would recommend this to family and friends. When they decide to buy this product I hope the cost would be on sale.

I like the internet protection where it scans the websites for the potential threat. It also has a quick scanner to improve the speed of the computer. It has a lot of different options which I like. I tried the other one long time ago, it was a little complicated. I would use McAfee program in the future, and install on all of my devices. But I would change the notification messages and I would also create something for the mobile devices. Also maybe let you know about other options when there is a threat, the total scan takes too much time.

McAfee has been very helpful in what I needed it for. And it is one I have used on my home computer in 2006. l have also used it on many other items. It is a very good item and I used it off and on for many years. I enjoy it. I just have to clear item out to have room for other things. I use the one that is on my phone now cause is already there. Please start offering it on phones and computers. You might get more people using it. If someone ask about it I would tell them to try it. It is what most people should try out. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

I like that it keeps up to date with the software and updates on my computer. I love this product because it keeps my computer safe from viruses and any spam. This product has kept my computer safe and I haven't had any issues while using it.

I like that it protects my computer from spyware. I never have any problems. They always protect me so I never have to worry about anything. I like that it's a decent price for the great product you're getting... It gets the job done. Maybe just letting my computer setting load faster so I have quicker access to my internet and safety features. I chose this product because it's rated the best. It is rated number one on all websites. I did my research and they all recommended McAfee brand spare protection.

McAfee is good. I liked the daily checks that would run while I was away. I enjoyed being able to check for any bad files or get updates if there are bad viruses for me to worry about. However, I disliked the renewal period and I feel some antivirus programs should be free with your laptop. I also dislike and found it to be a bother when it would shut me out of my browser if it suspected something fishy. I would keep using this antivirus software if they would allow for more free usage. And maybe a special sign up bonus. Like unlimited usages for the software.

I am perfectly happy with McAfee that I put it on all my electronics. It came recommended with my new laptop computer and I installed it. It like the automatic scan every day and if a virus is found they alert you right away and tell you what to do to fix it and shared it with everyone in the family and they like it to. I would recommend it to other people.

McAfee offered a product for the computer I had at the time and downloading the software was easy. Also, it was a name I recognized so I guess that gave me a little more trust. Automatic updates are helpful because I forget to update software. I never got a serious computer virus so I guess it worked but my computer would still get bogged down with stuff so it would be helpful if the software helped clean things up as well. And, the software is expensive and sometimes adds extra steps to things I am doing.

McAfee was recommended to me and included with my computer purchase. I more than likely will continually use McAfee over other brands simply because of my familiarity with it. McAfee Antivirus Software is simple to use and easy enough to understand. McAfee is very straightforward and the settings are easy to access as well as adjust. I have never had any issues or troubles using McAfee Antivirus software.

I chose McAfee randomly because I'm not very picky when it comes to protecting my laptop. It came with the basic necessary tools that any antivirus software should have. It protects my computer from viruses and other harmful sites and allows me to check if anything needs to be looked at or fixed. It's fine the way it is. It works well and my computer didn't have any issues. My computer's speed was very good too. Overall my experience was decent.

I have found that this software is especially user-friendly. It also has a free trial version, which I appreciate before I commit to purchasing software to use for an extended period. There are many features that make this product easy to use. It is also a company that has been around for an extended period with high reviews, which makes me feel more comfortable with it. I really love that I am able to set a schedule to run the software when I am not using the computer. I enjoy having the option to pause a system scan instead of starting if over as well. My system is never at risk with this product. I initially chose this software because it was recommended to me. I continued to use it due to the ease of access and quality. Overall, I have had nothing but a positive experience with this company and its product.

They were very up to date and a pretty good antivirus. Although this feature antivirus was free with the package deal I feel that it hindered my computer performance and speed was very slow when the antivirus was downloading and when the program update was on. Therefore, I had to wait to run other programs.

My computer came with the McAfee program already installed. I like that it automatically boots up on startup so I can make a cup of coffee while it scans my computer. I also like how it seems to do a good job at detecting and deleting viruses and malware. However, it could be a little faster because it takes quite a while to scan the computer sometimes. Also, there are multiple windows popping up constantly! One window would suffice just fine.

Besides antivirus, I like the protection offered for web browsing and also when opening emails. I also never have to worry about being hacked nor security for my bank account cards or cred. I have used multiple other anti virus software previously. McAfee is the best anti virus software on the market who offers the best all-around protection available. They are highly recommended by experts that I trust and have done so for years.

I chose McAfee because it is a very well known company, and I received a free trial on my computer. I really liked and enjoyed the product and the McAfee programs. They are user friendly and simple to understand. At the moment I no longer have an active anti virus program on my computer, other than the one that Comcast provides. While I did enjoy the McAfee software in the length of time it was available on my system, in my opinion, there were too many updates. It does seem to be a little pricey, but it was easy to use and understand. I would use the program again.

It is easy to install and I liked the process when it scanned for viruses. I am a single mom and don't want to buy new computers or lose my stuff on my computer, so these things are needed for protection of my electronics. It worked and stopped some viruses from hurting my computer and having a black out screen of death. I don't want to buy a new computer so it does help protect from these things. However, the price can be high so change the price and the design of the name. I want to keep this for my computer use and be able to scan for viruses and watch and see if I have any items to remove.

I only know of MacAfee and Norton, and MacAfee had the better price so I went with them. They have a good reputation as well. They are very user friendly and everything has been just fine using their service. Their customer service department is very good as well. They were able to help me with all my questions I had about setting up their software and using it. The only thing is when I call in for help sometimes the person has a heavy accent witch makes it hard to understand.

McAfee products come on many new PCs. You get a "free" subscription to their service, but you never had a choice (as with my Lenovo Yoga). It's preloaded and they even piggyback on legitimate registration info (not sure if Lenovo or Microsoft) from what you actually meant to buy and spam you incessantly to sign up. You also get constant pop-up notifications for the same until you uninstall. They also have a similar practice when you download Adobe Reader. There's no option not install. McAfee is a shady company that can't seem to market/compete on their product's own merit, so they've turned themselves in parasitic bloatware bundled with PCs.

I like that it includes features that keep your computer free from the viruses that can attack even when you are not going to unsafe websites. Also, I like that fact that the McAfee antivirus software company notifies the customers before it is time to renew the subscription. Moreover, I liked the McAfee antivirus software better than others because it has good credibility and good prices for services. I have also read reviews on the McAfee antivirus software company that have lead me to believe that they have a reputable company.

I have had bad success with other brands so I looked McAfee up online and it had okay ratings so I figured I would give it a try. I chose McAfee for my computers antivirus program, and so far everyone I have seen they tried it, liked it. It was easy to use and easy to understand the directions, and there are many pointers in case something goes wrong. There is also a toll-free number to call if you have any issues. But I wish that there was not any pop-up ads that come up. It is very annoying and it can mess up things that I doing. Also I think that there should be a website that you can chat with troubleshooting employees to help you if there is an issue.

McAfee was easy to install and does not take up too much space in the pc. Much less than its competitors. The other frontrunner, Norton, was too expensive and too intrusive when installed. Also it was too technical to install in the first place...too many options. McAfee can be scaled to install only the features that you need. But it tends to slow down the operation of the pc. In a test, I determined that when it is not installed I run faster than when I have all the protective features running.

McAfee has helped to keep my computer clean and I value this. I bought McAfee because I have used this brand before and I needed something that works and I knew what to expect. My computer also runs better, which helps me to stay on top of projects. It keeps my computer and my activities protected. This is what I need. It seems to function well, which is what I am searching for in this product. I am pleased.

It is free with my U-verse and I have not had any intrusions with this anti-virus. I like how you can run scans and how it will give you the results and how it automatically scans without having to do anything. I've had no issues with McAfee. I like how it stands behind the scenes without me having to do anything and I like how it protects me. I like the McAfee and I like the Norton as well but the cost was the main difference in why I changed over. I had no issues with Norton as well but I saved the $50 fee that Norton charged.

I like McAfee and my overall experience with them is good. It is easy to install and use and understand. I like that it keeps viruses away and keeps my computer and files safe. But I don't like its price.

The program is user friendly. I have knowledge of computers but someone who is just a beginner could easily use this program. Very easy to use and it works automatically. I can log in and run a specific scan if I wish or let the program run a scan itself or run in the background. I like the ease of control that I have with the program and that I can choose my level of security too. It is helpful to be able to change it when needed. The price is high but worth paying for. At times I have had to go a few months without it due to being unable to afford. It would be nice for more discounts for loyal customers.

McAfee is excellent and works in real time. It came with my HP Laptop and works well with Windows 10. I used it last year and when it expired, renewed it. The automatic charge was almost $100, but I told them I could not afford it, so they gave it to me for 1/2 price. McAfee protects me and my computer. It updates automatically, and I can adjust it to quarantine suspicious files I'm not sure about. It also tackles trojans and worms that are more current. It is up to date on the latest threats and works in the background so I can continue with my work and not worry.

This software does a good job helping and protecting my info so I’m good. I don’t have to worry about my info be stolen and use by hackers. I feel more comfort knowing I am covered and protected from thing that can hurt my computer. It has a good rating and it better to protect and no problem so no downloading virus and spyware or being hack by spyware so I’m good to know all my bases are covered.

McAfee virus protection is easy to use and I feel confident that using it helps keep my computer safe and virus free. Very positive experience. The virus protection is top notch. Updating the software is easy and scheduling scans is easy as well. I would recommend the software to all of my friends and family to use. It is a little pricey, but I think you get a lot for your money. Maybe a lower price point with limited features would be a good thing to introduce?

I choose McAfee because my family and my friends use it so they recommend me to try it and it was good for the purpose. They all had bad things to say about it but I wanted to judge and try the anti-virus for myself cause only one can be the judge of products for them selves right. It was very simple to install and navigate. It worked great on the cookies and it did what I expected it to do for keeping the viruses blocked from my computer. It took the time to sweep all of the apps and files on my computer which I liked and it told me which ones were infected and which ones they cleared with the sweeping of the anti-virus. The price of this product was insanely expensive though. It also needs less time to install. It took hours and was slow at doing its job. Sometimes it would stop and I would have to start all over again and then it would automatically shut my laptop off without me even touching anything.

It worked well as an anti-virus, and did the job it was supposed to do. I chose this software because it was included in my package when I bought my laptop. It was most compatible with my operating system and was easy to use and convenient because it was already installed. I was satisfied with the overall experience. But I would like it to be a little less intrusive. It would be better if it ran more in the background and allow me to complete work without it always being on the front page.

It's simple and efficient and easy to use and setup is a breeze also. It protected the way it should and never had any issues. The price is a bit steep. But it was good. I really enjoyed it and would definitely buy the product again if I found it on sale again.

McAfee kept my device up to date on any part of my device when it would need to upgrade or show any suspicions on bad malware. They give me all the information I deserve to have from their protection to block and don’t let any malicious suspects get into my devices. I also like that they give cheap or even free help on my devices. But I hope they wouldn’t charge too much to register with their company for those of us that don’t own credit cards and don’t trust the web to use the credit card either way.

I chose McAfee after trying several different Antivirus. Most interfered with my Firewall and wanted me to turn it off. McAfee is easy to download and set up. I can set a time that it will run when I'm sleeping. It protects everything and warns me if I have gone to a suspicious looking page and it runs in the background at all times to keep my laptop and phone safe. It has worked great for me in the past when I got a Trojan horse and either removed it or put it in a vault. But it will start updating when I'm using my laptop and causes it to slow down. I would have it so you could set a time to update when I'm not using my laptop or phone. But I know it's keeping me safe so I can deal with it. My overall experience has been great and I have never had any problems with it. I love McAfee and I will always use it.

I'm not a complete fan of the program but it was one of my only options when buying a program like this. I like mostly everything about it. It does attack the threats on my computer or tablet and it seems to work just fine. I like that it notifies me for updates and so far I haven't had any issues with it. The only thing I really hate is how long everything takes. It scans so slowly and it does get really annoying cause it wants you to scan your computer more than most software do. Maybe because my internet is so slow but a simple scan for 0 threats found shouldn't take all day to find.

The main feature I liked about this software was it didn't slow my system down like most other brands I had used and prevented virus. It didn't cause it to freeze up and my system never 'crashed' while I was using this product. Never had any issues with this product like I have others in the past. I feel that it is already a very good product. Very easy to install, simple to use and understand. Other products are so confusing and complicated. I could choose to update later if I was in the middle of something important. I like this software best and my overall experience was good.

I loved the software. Easy to use and install and great for keeping out unwanted virus. It protected my computer and kept it clean. It did what I expected and more. My experience was very good and if I ever buy another computer I would buy it again.

The software works and is easy to use. It was put on my computer by our tech coordinator. Computers are only used as needed for me for work, email, and some browsing. I just want a safe computer that works optimally, quickly and efficiently. My experience was good.

It is easy to use and cost efficient. It is also easy to find in the stores and the instructions are very easy to follow. It is very customer friendly. But I would improve the updates and versions of this software to make it compatible with more operating systems. I would also like to see that the customer service is more available. But I am happy with my overall experience. I would definitely recommend this to a family member or friend. Also for someone that isn't very tech savvy this is a good product.

I made two (2) Subscriptions to McAfee (unintentional) in May and September of 2017. Plus, they never told me that I had already made a prior Subscription. I am displeased with McAfee Anti-Virus Software and Customer Service. Therefore, I requested a Refund, but was told that since it has been over a month I couldn't receive a Refund. Previously, I was told by a Customer Service Representative with McAfee that I would receive a credit when my current Subscription expires.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Just **. Avoid all McAfee products. Don't buy. 5 damn days of fighting with these ** from the Philippines. Just avoid. Rip off. Rip off. Rip off. Had to close my bank account because of these **. No phone number for Santa Clara, CA. Thieves!!!

I relied on a popular PC magazine's report that McAfee is good protection. Don't rely on them. I downloaded McAfee Total Protection in November, 2017. Ever since it was installed their program turns on immediately after booting my computer up. I've read and read the McAfee forum and the moderator only gave false information. He guessed it was this and guessed it was that. Frankly, I believe he was not an American by the way he constructed his sentences. I haven't found any fix anywhere. It highjacks your computer the minute it boots. I won't ever download any of McAfee products in the future.

I use this product based on initial recommendation of my dad, now my techy children, so it is very long term use, off and on for 20 years. It has never let me down.

I have used McAfee and I really preferred this but found it pricey. They do run Specials on this virus protector though. I would recommend this but just check for specials.

My service provider offers this software with the subscription. In the past, I have contracted a virus using this software on my main computer hard-wired to the LAN.

This was my first experience with an antivirus program and I didn't seem to have any problems with the McAfee program, and it seemed to work rather quickly as it went through the steps.

In this past year that I've used McAfee LiveSafe, I've found very few threats or vandals on my pc that the software didn't detect. Also, it prevents me from browsing sites it deems unsafe - wherein if I were a more prudent person, I'd probably be more grateful for this feature.

It takes time and always needing updates and other components and attention. It was a mistake and I am looking for a better one that has a reasonable price.

Great notifications if you're on a scam type website. Easy to use and easy to run McAfee's cleaner and several ways to run their cleaner. Great cleaning tools.

Almost every day, I get this page that keeps popping up with a scan that gives me details of what I may need to repair on my computer. It's great, but when I want to fix an error, I have to pay again. Why do I have to pay when I already pay for the service every year? That's mind boggling.

I have used this antivirus for a number of years and in general it does its job. Two things that I did not like automatic renewal and it missed something and I got a virus which it overlooked.

I'm new to McAfee, less than 2 months with new computer. I like the shred feature and the ease of use when navigating the program. The price up-front (first year) is reasonable, but after the first year, it triples.

McAfee Security software did not secure my computer. After buying and using it was my first experience with problems with my computer, worms, bugs, and other difficulties that I invested in some professionals to mend.

Removed all my viruses immediately after I installed it. Easy to use, simple, basic, and a child can use it. Doesn't use words that are difficult to understand for those of us not techy like that. See for yourself.

My computer came with McAfee software pre-installed. When the subscription ran out I tried switching over to Windows Defender and I couldn't because it claimed another software package was installed. I thought I fixed the problem, but I guess McAfee never really left my system, because even after I've uninstalled it Windows Defender can't turn on live time protections because there's another program blocking it. When I go to the Action Center and view installed virus protection apps it shows the Status of McAfee as Not Protected and the status of Windows Defender as Off. When I click on McAfee the Take Action button becomes enabled allowing me to sign up for a subscription to pay to be protected on a computer that I already paid good money for. When I click on Windows Defender it remains disabled.

My McAfee Total Protection was purchased a over 2 years ago & I was well satisfied. They have since added a new feature. Now, every time I boot up my PC a McAfee popup shows up in a minute or so and blocks whatever I am looking at. See attached photo. I called McAfee. They said, "You can't turn off that popup feature. Just ignore it. It's just a soft popup. Our customers like it." I find it infuriating. So if you love screen blocking Popups you will love McAfee Total Protection.

I am so tired of this program overriding my system when I chose not to use it! Stop!! I am the only user on my PC and yet when I try to delete this scam of a program they say I cannot because I do not have administrator access. I am the administrator!!! I have used this software on many of my computers and although I cannot confirm it, I really feel they plant the viruses so you feel you have to have them. For that reason I will not use them anymore and now when I have a new PC I have their alerts every 2 seconds trying to scam me in buying their product. I now have an alert on my screen that says buy our product or accept the risk!! I cannot close it but I have to "accept the risk"... Sounds like a threat to me and definitely a scam.

McAfee came free for lifetime with my HP laptop purchase and I love it. It does what it's supposed to do and as long as I do the updates which are easy everything is good.

I have no real complaints about the performance or usability of this software and I have not used the customer support option. But my frustration is the cost of the recommended antivirus software.

McAfee was free for me with my internet provider, they automatically protect everything that is on my network or being used in my home. It was free and I have no complaints.

I find this software easy to use. Have not been disappointed. Know many others who use it and are happy with it. Would recommend it over other high priced antivirus software.

I have it through Bell Canada and have had zero problems. I can leave it to run automatically or can set it up to run anytime I want to also.

We were using both Norton and McAfee before, but we no longer use any of the antivirus software because when we had them, we noticed that we got more problems and seems that it doesn't really help.

I have used other products. McAfee is the only one that did not cause operating conflicts. So far I have had flawless operation. The virus scan runs itself and gives me a full report if I so desire.

I definitely didn't like Norton as they allowed things to crash my Computer more than once. McAfee seems to allow some things in too but nothing has crashed yet.

I've been using McAfee on my tablet for over three years. I like the price and that it protects my tablet against viruses and other harmful things. I don't know much about computers or tablets or even my phone but, I do know this product does what it says it will do and it's easy as pie to download and run it. Thanks McAfee for a good product.

McAfee software for antivirus support is very good. I have had some issues with the firewall but was taken care of very quickly. The new addition to the software is TrueKey. I thought since Intel owns both products they would be very good, BUT TrueKey has many issues. Many times it doesn't fill in the login nor password to locations that you set up. This should be automatic but it is NOT. They also have many issues with fields that require security answers. They automatically fill them in with either the login name or password. I worked with Tier II at Intel to resolve some of these issues but they do not seem to get fixed. The original version had no limits to how many accounts you set up. Now they give you 15 and if you need more and you will for an additional $20. They offer unlimited amount, so beware.

I do not like this software. It doesn't work right and when you renew they keep asking you over and over again. Makes no sense, would not recommend this software. It does not warn me when there is a bad site, spam, etc.

They told me my subscription had expired and that our computers were at risk. But I could not stop them from extending it free for awhile until I would decide to renew. I didn't want it but could not get it off my computer so I never felt secure and I installed different antivirus software. Then 16 months later, I got a bill for an automatic renewal... so for those months, we were paying for service for 2 computers. So we got no service from McAfee, and in essence, they cancelled a service that we had already paid for, and when we found this out after receiving service from another company, we were not offered a refund.

I have had this software for many years with an update yearly and I like it because it is easy to use and if I can do it then anybody can! I have had it on all of my computers and don't see any time changing.

McAfee is the most user friendly antivirus software out there. I have tried Kaspersky and Norton but prefer McAfee out of all of them. It provides the protection I need to keep all of my computers safe.

I find it very aggressive and I have not had a virus get through it. This is my third year using it. I do have the full protection package. I would highly recommend it.

I have never really had to use the customer support as far as I can remember. My first Dell computer came with McAfee & that's what I have stayed with for the last 15+ years.

Horrible. I hate all anti software. Instead of protecting my system the software usually give me viruses when I download my game. I hate this with a passion.

Been using min. 20+ years on everything from biz to personal use. I have always used in conjunction w/ Norton. Good value and good predictive asset. Try it out - if you don't want your system(s) to go down... It's worth it. OK for small/medium biz but not great at scalability but does well on IoT.

McAfee is very good for antivirus protection. It is expensive yet easy to use. There is no limitation as to how many devices can be used on one account.

My computer experience and knowledge are limited so I need something that will do it for me and McAfee was recommended by a friend and that is what I have.

I get this for free, so I can't complain, but I've never had any security issues either. They also have a pay version, which may be better, but I don't use my home computer enough to warrant paying for it.

It seems that every computer I get from HP has McAfee on it, the trial period is over then the problems hit. I had the same problem with this computer. I let the trial run out. Then when it did it caused my computer to not have any screen once I got through the startup with my computer. This was what happened to me the last time when I changed the software to another company. This time they warned me I had a day and then I suddenly had slowdowns and many other things happen. Then it just would not put the desktop screen on. Last computer it caused the same thing when I changed the software to different company. This time it didn't even give me a chance.

Overall it's a really good antivirus but tends to drain battery fast and it needs to have a deeper clean on the RAM and storage. Seem I always get a notification of not enough storage to download certain games and apps.

I think they are great, I got a virus. Called McAfee and they cleaned it. Got my laptop started and made sure everything worked before they let me go. They took their time, did not rush me or put me on hold multiple times.

Have used several years without a major mishap yet. One time when I did require tech repair service I thought the fee of $70.00 was too high for a one time problem. Other than that experience has been satisfactory but according to surveys probably not one of the most effective.

Simple to use, low cost. Works well on both laptops, tablets and smart phone. I've used most of the other brands and truly believe McAfee to be the best.

Cost wise I'm a Bell Canada customer. With the Phone, Sat & Internet package I pay dearly for Bell add McAfee at no charge. Antivirus seems protect my system just fine.

I have used the Mcafee Concierge Gold service for several years. Any problems I have encountered have been addressed promptly and thoroughly. One service covers all of my equipment.

I use Windows Defender and McAfee. I am using free versions, therefore I do not get optimum results. I have picked up viruses using AVG and Avast (free versions) as well.

I bought a version of McAfee Antivirus, and when I attempted to activate the product, they required me to enter a credit card number for automatic updates. It said I could cancel the auto-renew, but I shouldn't have to give them my credit card number in the first place. I've already bought the product.

No extra cost to me as McAfee is provided by my ISP AT&T. Very seldom does Malwarebytes find any issues but sometimes usability is a little bit difficult, like temporarily suspending AV & firewall.

McAfee can be helpful to the limit. It takes over your computer and the computer is no longer yours. I prefer to use something else which I prefer to keep to myself.

I have used McAfee the last few years as they have a family plan that I can use across both my computer, spouse, children and grandparents.

McAfee has always protected my computers and laptops so that I have never had a problem with a virus or anything. I have tried Norton but liked McAfee better so I am sticking with McAfee.

Have had no problems with this software since installing it on all my devices. Easy to use! Value for me was exceptional since it is included in my subscription to Optimum cable. Very easy to install through Optimum. All Optimum customers should take advantage of this service.

We have tried many antivirus protection programs and we have had the best luck now that all 6 of our computers are safely protected. My husband is a database administrator and he only recommends items he has thoroughly checked out and is happy with. McAfee must be the best, or he'd be using another program. Keep up the good work.

I get McAfee free from my ISP and it is just OK. On my PC, it still allows pop-ups to infected sites. On my MacBook, full installation blocks function of the computer. On my iMac it is missing from the toolbar! What happened?

McAfee is pretty simple, and I sometimes wish it had more bells and whistles and some of the info it posts looks generic at times concerning scans and results also.

I've called HP several times because of viruses on this computer. It does not work like it says and it is pitiful. HP needs to get other companies besides McAfee which works better and give the customer a choice. I would like a better company.

This program came with my new PC, and I bought a year's worth for $40. But I kept getting "trial period ending" warnings, and when I called to check, they said ignore them. But they keep coming. Worse, I got 2 serious intrusions that froze and damaged my new system, Over 3 days, I made about 9 calls and could never get anyone who spoke anything resembling English. First they said they'd call me back but didn't. I assume they also couldn't understand what I was reporting. It got elevated to "Tier 2," and I was contacted by another rep who didn't speak English. They've called me back about 12 times this last week, and even though I emailed them to stop calling (I fixed it myself with a System Restore), they keep calling me and leaving incoherent messages. They've wasted about 35 hours of my time and $40 of my money. McAfee stinks!

McAfee will make me aware of sites that are potentially dangerous but will let me make the decision to stop or proceed using the questionable site. It will also let me know the best course of action to take for my electronic safety.

I get so many pop-ups when I'm playing a game or watching a movie. I'm not quite sure what McAfee is supposed to do exactly but what it doesn't do is work. If this is supposed to stop viruses from getting into my computer why do I end up with more than what it cleans out? I really believe that no matter what we do to keep viruses out, the government will always give us viruses just because. It doesn't stop the hackers.

We have found that McAfee prevents us from getting viruses, battles malware and keeps predators away from our computers. We've used McAfee for many years and have been very pleased.

I didn't like the fact that I have to keep trying to work, and fight computer at same time. Ready to try another. I will try another one when I get a new computer!

It does protect my computer, I don't know that this is the best software. I was informed from a friend who works on computers to just use; Windows free security software and have been doing so without any problems.

McAfee is very intuitive and you can schedule it to scan your drive and external devices and update the latest definitions on a daily basis. When McAfee detects a virus it automatically quarantined it and keeps a log.

My service with McAfee was to end on Sept. 07, 2017 and on August 07, 2017 they debited my bank for $93. On Aug. 08th I notified them I did not want to renew. I removed the program and sent them several messages but cannot get a response. What does it take to get their attention?

First thing. It slowed my computer down by like 100%. Also after a year of paying 39.99$ I believe... McAfee tried to charge my debit. Add 100$ For the next year. Didnt even warn me. Then after uninstalling it left McAfee safe life installed but not working. It never really uninstalls... And just keeps popping up that I need to renew. Very sheisty and obnoxious. Do not buy.

We subscribed to McAfee Internet Security and were customers for about a year and six months. We got discounts from them each time we renewed or we would have looked for something else. The program on our computer proved to be defenseless against hackers. Ransomware gained access to our computer and tried to get us to pay them a lot of money. We were bothered by Ransomware by phone too but we managed to get rid of them ourselves and fixed the virus ourselves. McAfee did nothing to help us nor did their security program work. We feel that they provide poor internet security and you may not realize how bad their service is until you get bothered by hackers like Ransomware. We have Windows Defender and its free to use and was provided with our computer and it works better than McAfee. Don't use McAfee because they are a waste of your money!

Took too long to find that McAfee Antivirus by freaking default installs Yahoo search into Firefox! This is called abusive manglement by despicable programmers. To fix this problem requires removing Mcafee. DO IT! Any company that forces you to use third party crap without your expressed approval is WORTHLESS. To avoid having to use a virus checker requires that you surf sanely. This means never clicking on anything in your email, never install anything you aren't sure of its source. THESE ARE NEVERS! It is exactly like the rules to safe sex.

I purchased McAfee and paid $48.70 through PayPal for the download. I was not happy with the company and proceeded to ask it to be removed from my computer. The customer service that I asked for this to be done, was very rude, talked over me as I tried to tell her that I wanted it removed and did not care for the product but as I would try to talk to her she kept very loudly talking at the same time and would not let me get a word in until I finally had to raise my voice and ask her to stop talking so I could get a word in. I finally just hung up on her. I proceeded to contact PayPal and asked them to cancel my payment and why. They tried but it is still in Resolution case number is, **. I have no order number, and as of now, McAfee will not cooperate. It has been over a week and they will not refund the money back to my account.

McAfee refused to refund me one year's subscription for Antivirus Software which I no longer require and which was in a sneaky way charged to my Credit Card. Their excuse was that 60 days had elapsed since they charged my account even though they debited my account one month before the amount was due. I emailed them as soon as I realised what happened and only a few days past the 60 day limit. Yes technically it is my fault for not reading all the fine print, however I find it is very deceitful to automatically charge my credit card without specific correspondence and my specific acknowledgment to that effect.

I talk to a tech for about 2hrs and he let me know what is wrong with my computer and that it is slow and I need a tech to check it out about every 2 -3 month. That way they can clean it and it will run faster. They wanted to charge me 179.99 for one year and they can clean it monthly. I told them I do not have the money for that and I knew a tech in my town and she would clean it for 30.00. So they said they would clean it for 50.00 and I did not need Mcafee antivirus because I had defender. So I ask "Why did I pay for Mcafee last year when I didn't need it and now you charge me again for this year."

Apparently my McAfee subscription expired 150 days ago, which I'm reminded about constantly when I start up my PC, during work or just watching a film. I could live with that - I'm not that keen on being blackmailed into buying a product I don't want to use. Today, however, things went south. All of a sudden the Adobe flash player crashed non-stop, the screen would freeze or worse, shut down in the middle of a file, I was working on. (Losing all that I had been working on just now). So I gave in and paid the 30 US dollars - which in reality turned out to be 36 dollars - and now things are cool. For the moment. Now, I'm not an expert, don't know anything about apps, devices and so on, but I have this ugly suspicion that the problems I endured today was caused by McAfee. A device that came along with the purchase of the PC. End of story. I won't be surprised if it turns out that McAfee has charged me with the double of the amount I paid for renewal. So be it.

The pop ups on my computer are awful. They come 3 & 4 at a time, piled on top of each other for the entire time I'm trying to work. They have several tricks. Some say your subscription expired. In some, the "yes" boxes are already checked. As you x one out, another is underneath. All this is going on while trying to use my computer! Sometimes I just turn it off without completing my work, because I'm tired of fighting McAfee!! Isn't there a law against this?

This is ** waste of money and time. I have installed software and it shows Virus scan feature missing. Installed 1000 times, restarted machine 10000 times but still stupid dashboard shows virus protection OFF. Contacted illiterate customer service, they are moron seating in different country. Used their useless virtual technical support and it shows no problem in system. Tried to search customer service email ID, but to my surprise there is no single email ID where I can raise my concern. If you McAfee guys read these, contact me ASAP on ** or else I am filing legal lawsuit.

I renewed my McAfee Antivirus Protection subscription 2/17. All I got from this program is browser protection. I kept receiving popups warning me that my computer was in danger, clicked the "fix" button to discover that I needed to pay or repurchase what I had already purchased. Customer service took over my computer to remove and reinstall McAfee. The Rep wasn't able to remove virus so she forwarded call to a tech who told me he could remove the virus for $69 one-time fee or $179 1 yr. I refused to pay. Now I have a virus I can't remove.

I purchased McAfee last summer for my new laptop. I have used McAfee before and had a good experience. This time, it installed, but then it was suddenly gone. Don't know why. Tried reinstalling. It won't work. Tried four times. Each time it stops and tells me to try again. Did the customer chat thing. They haven't been able to help either.

McAfee is a scam - I bought this. Tried to put it into my PC and I got nowhere. Two online chats appeared when I told them I wasn't ok with them taking control on my PC the closed chat out then I got tech. call. I couldn't understand what he was saying but he wanted to do the same. Take control of the PC. I told him I was ok with that he hung up on me. What a company and their customer service sucks...

This is some sort of scam. When trying to use the keycode to renew from a purchased renewal card from OfficeMax, the website on the card will not take you to a download screen, as it says that it will. You are forced to on-line chat with techs or call. All will ask how old the computer is (Mine is exactly one yr old & had McAfee loaded at time of computer purchase.). Then, they want to "take over your computer" in order to help. No matter what McAfee site that you click in, wants this. When you call the numbers listed, same thing. When you enter your phone number, get all sorts of hangup calls from suspicious numbers that don't work. No matter where I turn, I am boxed in. Probably, to upsell me or sell my info. So, since McAfee won't allow me to renew without this scam-type hassle, I will get virus protection from another company. McAfee is not worth the headache.

Last year I updated my computer to Windows 10 with Edge browser. Ever since I started getting pops and malicious malware prompting me to purchase McAfee to prevent such viruses and pops! I want the consumer to be aware of the malicious way McAfee tries to get me to subscribe to its product.

For a month, I have been awaiting a refund. I sent the package back along with what they required for a refund. After a month, I contacted them and they claim they never received the package. I e-mailed them with their refund form and attached was my proof of purchase. They continuously e-mail saying I didn't send proof of purchase. They are being very uncooperative!

I was very upset when I got an email from McAfee Security saying they charged my Debit Card 96.00 dollars for Internet security. First of all, I did not have auto-renew on. Second, they charged me more than double the price I could have found it for if I would have looked for it myself online. Third, they did this with no warning or permission from me 20 days before my McAfee Security even expired. Fourth of all, I was lucky that I even had the money in my account. The only reason I did was because I had just got my tax return. I then make official call 1-800-954-268 McAfee Australia to resolve my issue. I straight away told them I need my refund for McAfee auto renewal and I will not use McAfee from now onwards. So they apologize and debited my fund back same day.

They could not install it because the code was used... but I just purchased it. They tried to sell em $399 in hacking protection. Not comfortable with this.. I feel like it was a scam. I did not pay the fee so my computer is now not protected!!! HELP PREVENT THIS!!

I went to renew and it came up as system error and charged me twice. When I contacted them through live chat they said I was only charged once. I said "I'm looking right at my account I was charged twice." They verified my email and knew that I was charged but then they said they couldn't find my address and that I had to call them. So instead I went through my bank. Now I have to wait a week to get refunded because of an error on their end.

DO NOT USE! Check your credit card carefully! Mcafee started auto-renewing their "service" in 2011. I have not used their service since 2008 because it's terrible and conflicts with everything. But they auto-renewed the subscription without my permission, even though I completely removed their software from my computer and did not agree to renew. They claim they sent an email to an old, unused account. They are sneaky and underhanded. I would never do business with them, ever. BEWARE.

I purchased McAfee Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB for my business and they never sent a download to me. I've called them everyday for the last four days and they keep telling me that it's 'still in process'. Four days?!? I have never heard of such a thing happening. Usually you purchase something for download and it is available immediately. I tried canceling my order and they told me that they couldn't cancel since 'they technically haven't received any funds from me'. My bank says otherwise. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I still need this antivirus for my software to work on my computer. This whole situation is really frustrating and the customer service at McAfee is useless.

Purchased McAfee Total Protection, but Basically all I got from this program is browser protection. No protection against viruses. The Total Protection is advertised to protect against viruses and malware. I kept receiving popups warning me that my computer was in danger, clicked the "fix" button to discover that I needed to pay or repurchase what I had already purchased. Customer service did absolutely nothing to help. They refused to let me send them documentation of purchase, this would of at least enabled them to see that I purchased the Total Protection which offers protection against viruses and malware. Customer service seemed more focused on the amount of users and devices. One device guys, only one, just one user. I was given the run-around without a resolution. I'm sure I'm not the first they pulled this on, and I'm sure I won't be the last.

I kept getting pop-ups saying my McAfee cover was about to expire over three months before the expiry date. The pop-ups gave two options: Renew or Dismiss. I kept "dismissing" only to find they debited my account one month (yes, 30 days!) before the expiry date. £89.99 was taken against my wishes and without permission. I call this theft. When I complained, my computer crashed within 24 hours. I tried to communicate using their published email address, and a day later got Mailer Daemon informing me my mail could not be delivered. The joke is, Mailer Daemon reckoned I had incorrectly emailed "ConsumerRefunds@mcafee.con"!!! My computer says different and that I indeed did mail correctly. They are certainly a dot CON. I have had McAfee removed PROFESSIONALLY...

DON'T USE THIS SERVICE... I tried the home office version 4 years ago for a year. Neither outstanding or useless BUT the main problem with this system is how difficult it is to get rid of the software or the company after you no longer need it or want it. I'd cancelled my 'auto-renewal' and eventually managed to delete the software from my system, a year later a debit comes out of my account. I ring up the US helpline (no complaints dept supposedly). Go on the website and turn off the auto-renewal. A year later, same again. Then, this year, again another £50 for a service I didn't want, need or in fact ask for. I complain to my bank as every time I check my McAfee account details, I'm NOT down for auto-renewal. I'd changed card details twice during this time, still manages to update whatever insidious payment method they have and take the money. £150 out of pocket AND NO USE OF SERVICE.

I paid £89.99 security cover from Dec 2015 to 2016. All was well until May 2016 when another £89.99 was automatically taken from my account without notification to me. In Dec 2016 another £89.99 was deducted. On checking back and realising the mistake I phoned McAfee and was refunded the Dec amount and offered another month sub on the May amount, stupid me accepted, not realising that I has lost 7 months of paid cover. In Jan 2017 I received several messages from McAfee informing my subscription had run out and I wasn't covered. I phoned several times, sometimes being cut off and sometimes being told someone would ring me back to sort it out. Didn't get any calls. Rang again, got cut off, rang again, this time to cancel and get refund and am still waiting for a call back. DON'T use McAfee, they will drive you mad. Ready to phone again now...

Next time around I'll be using a different company. Their methods smell of fraud...

Called customer support while trying to install software for my father. After 3 different calls and 4 different people, I reached someone who said they needed to perform security checks on this computer and I would be charged. I doubted this diagnosis and ended the call. Afterward, my computer guy checked everything and installed software with no issues. This left me feeling like McAfee is not a trustworthy organization!

When my subscription expired, pop up ads started showing up even though I had pop up blocker on. Once I closed the pop ups, an ad for McAfee would pop up saying to renew my security software. I went to their website and used the uninstaller and the same thing occurred. In addition, I experienced the same thing as another person. A Microsoft window opened and said I needed to contact their tech support to correct the problem. I called and as soon as they answered with a Pakistani accent, I knew it was a scam. I added on a pop up utility to Firefox to stop the McAfee ads and have updated Windows Defender. Coincidentally, my computer has malware when I uninstalled McAfee.

I have had McAfee and Norton and I would say they both work fine. McAfee seemed less expensive at the time I switched from Norton to McAfee. Both work the same as far as I am concerned. I have never had any issues and I am online a lot and sometimes to sites that may well contain viruses. I hate to write this because now I will have a problem but I haven't yet.

I have McAfee and I contacted them with a problem. They told me to call Microsoft Support and I googled it after I let them take over my computer and try to charge me with more virus protection. I found out the number they had given me was for a Microsoft scam phone number and they also gave me more scam numbers to try. I feel so ripped off for buying their product. DO not buy this stuff. Their product obviously didn't work since I had to call them so many times over the problems their antivirus software didn't provide.

Don't buy this product. I decided to give into the hype and buy their antivirus protection. It is the worst I have ever seen. It creates a new window every time I try to open up a website. Every site is either dangerous page or an ad pops up. Some of the ads have the special fun feature of requiring me to close my browser. Using the free antiviruses work better and do not cause problems with your computer.

I paid for a year subscription promo to only get a one month. I tried contacting to get my money back. I continually receive popups and no longer can access my mail accounts, etc. My computer has numerous issues now and not able to uninstall the McAfee. Truly unethical. I will provide receipts, etc. Unfortunately, my computer needs a whole refresh now.

McAfee is a scam regarding their selling methods, they charged me in Australian dollars (???) YES Australian dollars!! (I live in NY) and they charge twice the price of the American product. When I called the service desk, they basically told me: "Nothing we can do about it, you just got caught in our scamming sell techniques." Go to NORTON, at least they are honest.

Pls don't buy from this company. It had froze up my computer and I had to AVG antivirus instead. When I tried to get a refund they transferred me to some Hindu guy that I couldn't even understand properly. Saying that they couldn't give me a refund... Terrible service and waste of money.

McAfee charged my credit card WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. Then refused to remove the charge. Absolutely horrible CS. Be careful with this company. They will charge your credit card and only notify you AFTER the 30 day dispute period has expired.

I paid a large chunk of money to McAfee two years ago (2014) when I bought my new Dell with Windows 10. The computer got a virus. I spent more than two hours on the phone last Saturday with someone in India whom I couldn't understand. She scanned my files; it took a long, long time. Then she said she couldn't diagnose the problem. On Monday I took the computer to Staples. Staples! The guy diagnosed the virus within a day and re-scanned the files. The computer works perfectly now--and McAfee won't reimburse me for the $174 I paid Staples--which accomplished what McAfee couldn't! So... to recap: McAfee's software couldn't protect my computer and its staff was completely unhelpful and wouldn't reimburse me for fixing what they couldn't fix. I'm done with this software.

When I got McAfee through my HP new computer, I have to renew after one year, and I click in their Website that I didn't want an auto-renew on my Acct. Sure enough they charge my Credit Card 89.99 which was three times more than last time! I dispute the charge, and they sent false papers saying that I did have my permission which is a lie! Now I'm disputing again, and sent a complaint to FCC and ConsumerAffairs!!

I buy McAfee online. I was expecting excellent performance by the one and only McAfee Antivirus Plus but it did not match my expectations. It was worst experience dealing with this product. The reviews on online shopping site was mind-blowing but it was a complete lie. But I must say it is such a disgusting antivirus product in this whole world. When I start scanning it started awesome but in the end it shows that there was no malware but I was able to see the various kind of malwares were floating on my computer screen. I was shocked and stunned.

I have renew the McAfee "Intel Security" on 23 August 2016, and paid by credit card 866-622-3911 USD89.99. I'm wondering why can't I use the McAfee to scan my computer and it keep asking me to renew again. What happen, already renew but still keep asking me to renew. Please help to check. Thanks.

After waiting for over 30 minutes and begging to speak to a supervisor at McAfee support, I was told they could not help me with their software!! The company has been purchased by Intel and it's clear they have no intention of supporting McAfee.

McAfee charged my credit card 269.96 dollars for computer security and did NOT provide and on 8-11-16, COULD NOT provide, but two Employees managed to shut down my computer - They, Richard and Richey ** confirmed my computer had been without McAee for 638 days! They did manage to shut down my laptop during their attempt to provide the security. My telephone contact started at 4:45pm. I hung up at 6:50pm and managed to get my computer to reboot!! Communicating with "foreign dialect" employees was very difficult. SEC accepted ONLY a 50 million fine from McAfee? WOW.

Last year McAfee offered to fix my computer and to give me 3 years of internet protection for $199.00. After 1 year was up they tried to get me to renew for another year saying I only had 1 year protection. I was pissed so I told them No RENEWAL and removed their protection off my computer, but when I got my credit card bill found they had charged me $49.99 without my permission they are the biggest ripoffs I have ever seen!!!

Purchased a new laptop that came with McAfee Anti Virus. What a joke. It expired and I did not purchase the software & did not delete it off of my system. Their software blocked my printer and it took a while and cost me $$$ to figure that out. SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST DELETE THIS ** (McAfee) from your laptop etc. right away. Currently in a battle with these ** to get my $95.00 back.

I purchased 17 licenses of McAfee Endpoint Solutions for our company. I have been a customer for 6 years previously. Every computer that I have attempted to download the product on has required hours of assistance from their tech support, on multiple occasions requiring their 2nd level tech support to finalize installation. This product has cost more money in time in downloading the product, troubleshooting problems with the product, re-installing the product than it is worth. It has cost the company more in downtime and installation time than the 17 licenses. Do yourself a favor and find another product. To be honest a one star is too high. The only thing this product has going for it is brand recognition.

McAfee came as free trial on my HP computer. I renewed for a year from the ad on my computer and made the mistake of adding it to my other systems. It took three months to install the new purchased program, and several calls to customer service to get them to pro-rate my account to the time when service actually began. Ten months later, I was billed for the following year which I had not pre-approved. In addition, I tried to negotiate a better renewal fee with them to keep renewal simple. The offer was twice as much as Costco's but the salesperson said they couldn't do better. I purchased a new subscription for the same program at half the price from Costco.

I paid for a full year's McAfee security service last month and received an email receipt. I've now had a pop-up saying that I have 15 days to pay. I contacted McAfee Customer Service and sent a copy of my receipt. They agree that I have paid but told me to either ring the 0-800 number or online chat with their technical people.

I found McAfee internet security to be a terrible product and quickly deleted it from my machine. I did not realize that auto-renewal was switched on by default. I do not usually allow websites to store my billing details, let alone auto-renew. Had I been adequately informed, I would not have permitted McAfee to store my billing details, let alone auto-renew. In April I noticed I had been billed by McAfee. I recognized this as a fraudulent transaction (one which I had not given consent for) and requested my bank to charge back. Mcafee had the audacity to contest the charge back and will not refund the moneys. Avoid Avoid Avoid.

My McAfee Livesafe was sold to me under the pretense it would protect my PC from viruses. I caught a virus yesterday and had to pay £59.99 UK to McAfee to have it removed and lost all my personal files as well.

McAfee is totally unresponsive and constantly lies. I had their total in all one product and it did not work. It locked up my machine. None of their support even at the highest levels could fix it. I finally said, "Give me my money back. I am getting another product." They said they would issue a check. It would take three weeks. Three weeks went by and no check because they did not have address correct.

I was cheated by McAfee in the name of thanksgiving rebate. I ended up in paying 59$ during this offer purchased at Frys.com. The fancy statement was they will sell the product for 59$ and will refund it later. They instructed us to send the proof of the purchase, duly filled rebate form etc. to a address. I properly followed the procedure and no update until April 2016. I believed McAfee was genuine and they won't trash their customers. When I started to track, the customer care updated me that the proof of purchase was missing from my original package. I believed they will keep up their promise and shared the receipt once again.

Recently during my computer updating time, I lost some driver files. I use my computer rescue function to get the file back. But McAfee stop me to do so, and let to register, then let me pay for it. Since I do not like the McAfee and do not want to use it, so I do not pay for it. The McAfee is my nightmare. My rescue job cannot be finished. My printer cannot print anything. What can I do? The McAfee has the right to stop my fixing work?

I had problems this weekend where McAfee Total Protection stopped Real Time Scanning my laptop. Every time I turned Scanning on, it turned itself off again. The McAfee help desk in India helped me solve this problem which was caused by the Microsoft update, KB3161561, released on 14 June 2016. However, in trying to diagnose the problem, we tried to re-install McAfee but it did not make any difference. Part of the clean-up process tried using the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR) and McAfee Pre-Installer. MCPR worked OK but McAfee Pre-Installer deleted all the files on my desktop, my outlook personal folders, all my photographs and all my word and excel documents.

I found the product did not catch viruses. I still had to use other products to maintain my PC. Also, when I had an issue with renewal, customer service was TERRIBLE. Even though I cancelled the renewal, the transaction still went through and had a difficult time getting my money back. Every time I spoke with someone I had to start at the beginning even when I gave all the service request numbers. I asked for a simple yes or no answer to a question and ended up getting transferred to a supervisor. They were impossible to deal with.

I bought McAfee Live Safe. A trial subscription came with my Dell Computer. After some looking into it is sounded good so I bought it. Within weeks I started getting tons of ads and popups. McAfee software scans came up empty. Called for support and was told that some unwanted programs were on my computer. If I wanted their help it would cost me another $179.00, on top of the $89.00 I just spent. One of the reasons I bought it was because it stated it protected me from unwanted software, adware, malware, and viruses. I spent hours on the phone and chatting with people I could not understand because their English was so bad. McAfee can go pound salt. Live Safe is totally ineffective and McAfee does not do as they claim in the ads. Junk!

I purchased McAfee Internet Security on 5-10-16 and tried to get it running. They had my account from a previous year, and every time I tried to log in to McAfee I got a message that my account was expired! I tried their phone support 2 times, and I could not understand the tech (he was from the Philippines), and he did not help me. I then tried their Chat system, but again, after almost an hour there was no solution. Finally I sent an email explaining everything.

I can't begin to express in words how annoyed I am with this product. I purchased a 1000+ PC today and should have wondered why the salesman was so eager to sell me the McAfee LIVESAFE. I should have reviewed it first or asked someone who knew about computers what the product was like. 1st of all the installation process is beyond a joke. I had to contact their customers services to rectify it. I was put through to the Philippines and after constantly having to correct or repeat what I was saying, or asking her what she was saying I lost it and asked for a call centre in the UK. I was transferred to INDIA, which is apparently the UK call centre!!!

I still find their security TOP, the problem being working with a cheaper phone already outdated per technology. My problem with this ZTE is the back Windows continue to add spyware in which everyone is pay to from apps. The app store I think is lowering the standards of the apps they accept and most people aren't as smart as the phones. McAfee DOES catch the worst issues however I'm still stuck on some sort of open internet. McAfee described on the Heartbleed app I can not find the setting as they say something is turned off and found no repair. Doing Google Search also with having to reset the phone and looking data you may need at a later time. ALSO I have a suspicion my phone service has been illegally paired with other phones. This model phone fails to explain much of the programming so you have to guess at setting and it does appear my setting some have been illegally blocked for me to make changes.

McAfee - a complete nightmare from start to finish and beyond. First - for any kind of support you connect to India. While I applaud these folks for speaking more than one language - something I cannot do sadly - their accents are thick, and they speak quickly. I found them very hard to understand. And I really want to speak to someone in America. I live and use my computer in America. I am always offended when I am connected to India. Aside from that, I bought the McAfee system, installed it and it promptly broke my computer. Windows icon would not open. Internet icon would not open. Internet froze.

McAfee livesafe trial came along installed on my new computer's operating system when I bought it. It was the first time I've used McAfee's security software and I liked it very much... except that after I've installed more software on my computer, it started making the computer perform slower than usual. Although I liked that it automatically scans all devices or flash drives connected on my computer, it still wasn't able to delete or warn me about the desktop.ini virus that came through one of the flash drives accessed on my computer. I now have some nuisance plaguing my directories.

I bought the McAfee full protection online via PC website which linked me to their site. I then paid for downloaded the software May 14, 2016. They gave an excellent review which I trusted. I removed my old antivirus at the same time, no problem. After the download and install I started using my McAfee. I did some of the programs on their software PC performance, defrag... It even said I needed to update Adobe Reader.

We put this on our office computers and it caused all of the computers to slow down. It took 2 days for our office manager to fix most of the computers, but it is 10 days later and the 2 doctor computers are mind-numbingly SLOW and their customer service is horrible and will not help us! I would not recommend their program to an enemy!!
