McAfee Total Protection for Windows

• Poor Customer Service

  jdfellersMay 9, 2017

  Pros

  Seems comprehensive.

  Cons

  Extremely poor customer service. They automatically renewed my subscription without permission and blamed me for not responding to an email I never received and going online, logging into my account and choosing the opt out option for the auto-renewal. The supervisor, Alex, wanted to argue with me and press her case that it was all my fault. I immediately canceled my subscription and found better software online.

  Summary

  This program came auto-loaded on my new Dell computer. When your subscription is up, run. Run fast, run silent, run deep, but get away from McAfee and find a better deal.

• Not the same company they once were

  Hersh1693March 22, 2014

  Pros

  I've seen no Pros so far.

  Cons

  McAfee once was my preferred anti virus program, no more. Recently my McAfee Total (not!!!) Protection software has let several trojans through and when I call for support I get little other than for them to tell me it must be my fault but for a nominal fee of $80+ their technical virus removal service can remove the virus their system was supposed to detect and stop.

  Summary

  McAfee Total Protection needs to be renamed McAfee Total Ripoff.

• Stay Away from this company and their products

  TimThomas992000December 17, 2013

  Pros

  Nothing good to say

  Cons

  Their service is the absolute worst. The minute you contact them as part of your subscription, they try to force you into purchasing one of their expensive support packages even when you don't need it. And if you refuse, they become irate and disinterested in helping you. Stay away from this company and their products or you'll be disappointed!

  Summary

  Stay away from this company and their products!

• never seems to bother me unless its important

  kevm1967February 28, 2013

  Pros

  doesn't interfere on every little thing you do, easy to install,

  Cons

  scan takes a while to complete, but at least you know its checking everything.

  Summary

  I've always preferred mcafee as it has minimum disruption and is very easy to use, can't understand people who say that it is stopping them from doing tasks, I found norton and avg to very disruptive and you seem to go round in circles when your trying to resolve any issues and end up uninstalling whole program, I would choose mcafee any day.

• terrible support

  unimpressedwithmcafeeMay 15, 2012

  Pros

  comes with computer

  Cons

  slowed down my computer to like molasses in January. ZERO customer support - they rip you off

  Summary

  Once I installed it, it took ten minutes to boot my computer. I turned it off and used other product. Now I have better performance. They billed my card, and sent me the email from do-not-reply address that looks normal. nowhere on the email does it indicate that it's a do not reply email and that no-one monitors it. When I tried to get a refund, i got the runaround from the customer service guy. when I asked to speak to his supervisor, they just cut me off. Lousy product. Lousy service.

• As bad as the scammer hackers.

  ObediahTNovember 14, 2011

  Pros

  A year of sedrvice with no real issues.

  Cons

  until I needed them. They say that they protect against 99.9% of virus, but if one slips by...you are paying BIG for it.

  Summary

  I got hacked with a program that shuts down all of my programs including internet (Privacy Protection is the name of the evil company) then they have a program installed w/o my permission and all I need do is activate (for $59) and they will get rid of the virus (that they put on) I called McAfee to fix it. They said they would give me live one on one assistance for $89.99. Sure it was my choice, but not much other choice there. I paid, then I found out this extra one on one service was only available for 5 days!!! $89 for five days!!! Basically I paid McAfee $90 for an hours worth of phone assistance, to fix a problem they should have stopped in the first place.
