When I got my Dell computer it was free for twelve months.
But there is a happy ending to this story with a little help from accyman, he phoned me at lunch time and came up with a normal landline phone number, I rang it and cancelled my account with McAfee and received a full refund, cheers accyman your help was much appreciated

Now I downloaded AVG free trial and at least you can see that working as it has pop ups telling you what is going on!

Re: Bloody McAfee
maybe the free security systems are better now....but I couldn't go back to one, as I have lost trust and confidence in them.
I save money in lots of other ways...besides,like the advert says 'I'm worth it!'

I've just been given a laptop to repair by a friend of the family - completely knackered through visiting dubious websites.
(The laptop, not the friend.)
It was being "protected" by McAfee. Not any more...
It's worth pointing out that these a/v programs are as good or bad as each other. The reason I ditched it was from prior experience of how much faster the PC will run after it's deleted.

Re: Bloody McAfee
Well try Bullguard...it doesn't slow down the machine and is excellent...you can get a 60 day trial free.......and if you do buy, then the subscription protects 3 machines.......for less than Mc Afee.

That's exactly why I stopped using Mcafee Studio, it really screwed my laptop up big style, it was a good job I had and extended warranty or it would have cost be a fortune
