MacAfee anti virus renewal cost

[ioweddie]

My MacAfee total protection is due for renewal in a month, they have emailed me an offer £59
I can go on Amazon and get it for £13.99
Is this a scam?
Any advice please

Yes bit like car insurance. They sign you up for auto renewal and the hope you forget. Much better off buying a fresh licence from Amazon.

Do you have BT Broadband as its free with that....

Is it genuine though as £13 seems very cheap

Yes it's legit. You will be sent a code, log into mcafee, enter code and it downloads the latest. Many are for 3 machines which is great if you have a desktop and laptops at home.

For home use, I would highly recommend 360 Premium | Best Privacy Protection | 360 Total Security and would never suggest anyone use McAfee. If you look at the new malware outbreaks and what AV can detect them, McAfee is often days behind the better ones.

Yes, I certainly couldn't recommend McAfee to anyone (or Symantec and AVG for that matter).

All shyte these days in my experience.

Thanks for that - I was about to renew for 2 years at £99.99. Saved a fortune.

IIRC i was £15 for McAfee Total Protection , which covers seven devices.

I got it from PC World.

MCAFEE Total Protection 2018 - 1 user / 7 devices for 1 year

I was recommended ESET, about 50 quid a year.
