Do not trust McAfee

I just got a potential fraud alert from my credit card company for $164.28. McAfee attempted to renew my subscription yet they had my old card number but still managed to get a hold of my new card information, weird. My subscription I paid almost a year ago now was for $31.79, so tell me how it's now triple that.. No where does it state my renewal will be that more expensive. Very sketchy business practice and I will in fact not be renewing my subscription.

VPN continually disconnects

I paid the premium price for this app and it’s not worth paying for. The VPN continually disconnects on its own and you cannot access secure sites outside the USA when traveling. Mcafee was known at one time as a great web security solution, but not now. I do not recommend this app and actually disappointed there has been no upgrades or patches to correct the issues.
