Ratings and Reviews
I have been scammed by an outfit imitating you
I paid to you as you were demanding I paid my subscription as was due to expire and I did . Little did I know I was being hammered with emails. I was sure I had paid you but I think I was scammed. I noticed you took out of my account $200 odd dollars when I’ve never paid that much before. I am there cancelling auto renewal
Developer Response ,
We are concerned about your experience. It sounds like you received a phishing email. Official McAfee emails will come from a sender with a 'mcafee.com' domain. You can read more about phishing emails here, https://mcafee.com/support/?page=shell&shell=article-view&articleId=TS103285.
Feel free to contact our support team at mcafee.com/support/contact. An agent can check into your McAfee account details, and help you cancel if there is any duplicate subscription. Thanks!
Need help
I’ve had problems with this app letting my settings be changed turning off safe web. My passwords don’t work after just changing them they’ve been compromised by hackers. iPad gets has been hacked I just got fixed by Mcaffe now it’s happening again. I’m using my old phone because my new iPhone won’t turn on anymore. My location changes on my login always Sydney popping up along with my actual location on other times. Got told last night by McAfee it’s the app settings I’m logging into r wrong. I don’t trust the app enough cause settings change and logging in just shows something dodgy is happening. U can tell when your phone/ iPad / computer is having problems or hackers in the background. Flickering, things not working properly or u get errors when u try to log out the of apps with different location. I know there’s something wrong but the app won’t show anything is happening, I can clearly see on my iPad blue lines jumping from app to app highlighting it blue lines moving across the screen and nothing from a scan. I can’t trust even talking to support cause is it just the hackers I’m talking to and letting them in more to my devices. ? Need help McAfee

Not compatible with Apple
After I contacted support I’ve been told they know about the issues on apple products but unfortunately those issues are still not solved after months. There are issues when it turning off real time scanning automatically and it’s hard to switch on as the whole software crashing all the time. Sometimes I can’t even open it.
On the mobile version same. All the time I’m logged off without reason.
I’m also bit disappointed they advertise on website VPN but the thing they not support VPN for Mac I’ve got after I contacted support after purchase. VPN on mobile not optimal as well. I went to dodge web got fake notifications and have to restart mobile. But the same web I tried with different antivirus was blocked straight away
Developer Response ,
We're sorry to hear this. Could you please share the case number provided by the McAfee support team, so we can check into your interaction details? Thanks.
