McAfee security

Love the protection to get scammers away!

Looking at the App for help & recognition

It’s not good -
It doesn’t address me as a customer.
I cant find the details of my subscription or when it expires , or how to stop auto- renewal
I don’t know how to include the two other computers I am allowed to cover
The app is is muddled and ‘fluffy’ designed only to advertise
The reference number is ridiculously long - is it designed to put people off from contacting you?
You were such a considerate company but now you’ve lost your way
I’m not renewing next year

Breaches

McAfee helped me clear up and stop my email from being used elsewhere. Always remember to change your passwords. It was a reminder I needed and they scanned my phone and reminded me to change my passwords. I had 3 new breaches.
