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

McAfee Unauthorized Charges Rs.1986 towards billing, Credit Card was NOT opted for automatic billing

Hi Respected Sir/Madam,

I've never enabled automatic payments towards McAfee subscription. Even then, Rs.1986 has been deducted from my Credit Card on 09-JUN-2021.

Trying to search for McAfee contact details using Google, but McAfee web pages are not working.

On top of this, I'm not even using McAfee Antivirus software.

Hence, request you to do needful to process my request and help me to get my amount back.

Desired outcome: I want my Amount back.

McAfee Auto renewal of anti virus without consent

I purchased your product last year and after that, I lost my credentials due to system format and I didn't use the antivirus itself. Now I have been charged for auto-renewal without my consent today. I want to refund my amount and cancel the auto-renewal. So many people are yelling at the customer service of Mcafee but no proper response from your side which is not correct for a reputed company.

McAfee Renewal

Why have you taken money a month early from my account, I had set a reminder to cancel a week before it was due but McAfee took it early, now trying to get the money back is a joke, there is no email address, just a phone number that I do not have time to waste waiting to be answered.

A company as big as yours is fraudulently taking money early from customers accounts, and I had changed my card details that were on your site! again that is taking money without consent, in other words theft, how did you get the details of my new card?.

Please provide an email address people can contact and stop stealing money.

Desired outcome: Money back and accountability of actions

McAfee virus protection

Automatic renewal charged to credit card. Contacted credit card company and charge was removed but McAfee denied reversal so it was charged back. Now McAfee says since it was over 60 days they will not issue a refund. Charge was originally disputed by me on December 9 (evidence by letter) . I have not owned these devices for over 2 years, I have now been charged $119.99 twice (unfortunately, I did not catch the charge in December of 2019) for a product I have not used.

Desired outcome: Full refund of $119.99 for this years renewal fee, period began December 1.

McAfee Charging me without my consent

I've never heard of this company before even though they say I am a customer. Today (1/8/21), I opened my email to discover one from them that said I owe them $499! I called and got some guy from Pakistan who continued to insist that I owed them this money, although he could never explain to me why.

I am concerned that they will find a way to to take my money.

Desired outcome: I would like them to be held accountable for what they are doing.
