Renewed online for single device LAPTOP total protection for Rs.999 on 18/10/2022, could not activate and removed from the device and finally asked for refund the next date. Mcafee is not responding to my mails and contacts. With the result I abandoned the device also as it is stuck. I am 84 years old pensioner and not able to go through all software formalities. My mail ID: umamahesh754271@gmail.com Mobile: [protected]. Please help this old man to get my refund in the same mode the payment is made. Thanx.

McAfee renewal of security on my laptop!!!

YOUR RENEWAL IS A JOKE! I initally signed up in 2018 and it was only supposed to be for the one year. Today is appears I was charged EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR.

According to your operator you auto-renew! If this is the case why would you have a pop up asking if one wants to renew! this message is very deceptive as it gives the impression that you have an option.

Microsoft on my computer protects my email just fine ---oh and ITS FREE!

STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE!

Desired outcome: i would like my money back for 2019 and 2020. Its $84.59 each year!

McAfee pc virus protection

I used to use McAfee to cover my PC and android phone but since moving to Hong Kong in May 2020 have moved across to Apple without the need of cover. McAfee however took 89.99 from my UK account in June 2021 without my permission and I am still trying to recover my money. They do not respond to my emails or show any form of customer support. Quite the worst company to deal with.

Desired outcome: Full refund of 89.99 into my bank account

McAfee Virus protection

I have disabled automatic renewal as I am reviewing based on the excessive price you are charging current customers to renew, I can get someone else to take a 5 PC option for 30% of the price and invite me,
Now I get bombarded daily with Pop Ups warning me (despite still having 6 weeks to run on current subscription) and I keep accepting risk
How often do you need to be told. It is worse than hacker and scammer pop ups.
STOP STOP STOP or I will get Norton instead.

Desired outcome: STOP the Pop Ups

McAfee Refund

I purchased a Microsoft 365 Family card at Walmart. To find out that it was the wrong card. I returned to Walmart within 2 to 3 hrs to be told the do not refund any cards and to call the number in the back of the card. Which I did about 5 to 6 days later. Then I had to go to 2 different website and following instructions and send a copy of the receipt and then I received 2 e-mails stating they received the copy and I had to wait 3 weeks for a check and a email stating it was a reimbursement receipt. It has now been 3 weeks and 10 days and no calls from billing which was supposed to expedite the check. No call back from a supervisor. Know being told it may take another 3 weeks by a lady but the name of Mildred who said she is a supervisor. And I told her that that wasn't happy and wanted to speak with someone higher than her. So know I have to wait 2 days for someone to get back to me. Wow can you believe the run around Im getting just to get my refund.

Desired outcome: Get my check tomorrow

McAfee Antivirus - refund of billing on my credit card 26 May 2021

Dear Sirs - McAfee Billing Dept

Not sure this is the correct email address as I searched online for
a McAfee email address to lodge my complaint to investigate the charging of my credit card when its not due and I was directed to this page.
If you are not the correct recipient, kindly assist to forward to McAfee
accounts billing department. My sincere thanks in advance.

I am shocked that my credit card shows a charged amount US$106.99 = S$146.59 ON 26 MAY 2021 when my laptop Window 10 screen shows my
subscription as at today 11 June 2021 has 249 days left, expiring on 2/15/2022.
I remember I renewed for 2 years.

Can your accounts billing dept please check where it has gone wrong or is there a duplication somewhere. I am only using ONE AND ONLY 1 LAPTOP,
that is the current one I am using which when I bought from DELL WINDOW 10
has preloaded MACFEE ANTIVIRUS software which I have renewed b4 expiry.

Kindly check and advise as I am confused why I was charged for renewal
on 26 May 2021 when its not due. I am an old retired lady, an IT IDIOT. PLSE HELP

for your easy reference: 1-[protected]
and there were several other references generated:

my bank statement shows this reference no.
