McAfee is so intrusive, it's often compared to a virus. It constantly interrupts you with pop up info. that you don't want, need or even asked for. It gets even worse when your subscription nears its end. I dread how hard its gonna be getting it completely out of my computer (like a virus.)

I like that it offers to cover multiple devices HOWEVER, a MAC computer does not need ANY antivirus program and neither does the iPhone - yet they offer it. They also state the following: ______________________________________________________ Antivirus Protection McAfee Livesafe offers personal firewall protection and its most popular antivirus. A user can set virus scans, perform them manually or choose to scan the device in real-time. It also protects our systems from hackers by monitoring threats on our networks such as rootkits, spyware, and bots. Identity Theft Program There are certain files that are not visible to you and contain sensitive information. Attackers on the internet take advantage of this and may steal your digital identity. However, McAfee Livesafe has a solution to this. Its identity theft program clears the cookies and your digital footprints automatically. McAfee also stated: Spam Filteration This software also has the ability to detect phishing spams and ignores unwanted pop-ups and messages. But it shows popups and messages that seem to be from a trusted source eg: banks. Its anti-spam is very useful in blocking emails from suspicious websites. Its web advisor prooves to be useful in detecting threats before visiting a website. File Shredder McAfee Livesafe offers a file shredder. This permanently deletes the digital files that may contain sensitive threats without any embedded threats. This plays an essential role in protecting a users digital identity as well as confidential data. ______________________________________________________ Yet I get offers to deposit 5 million dollars daily from someone's deceased uncle. I get email from what looks like my banking institutions stating I've have pending wire transfers, I get fake job offers after I've searched around on employment sites. I even received a bill from #WesternGovenorsUniversity after simply visiting the site! My #Facebook account was hacked I thought I replying to Facebook but I was responding to hackers. It actually seems as if after purchasing the software I received more garbage email than ever before - additionally trying to log into the Mcafee site I received an ERROR message just before logging in to my account. Don't get me started with Verizon and McAfee!!! Once it was downloaded on my iPhone I receive 5 calls a day directed to the previous owner of the telephone number - my block call list has about 150 numbers and I've had the number for 3 years already!
