My renewal is due in two weeks. The price I have been given is £49.99 for a year,

When I go on line I can buy the same for a lot less.

Could you please explain this to me as I feel as an existing customer why i should pay more.

There are no other circumstances that are necessary for this complaint

Kind Regards

Wendy Hill

10 May 2023 I subscribed and the payment was successful. However due to personal reasons when I want to cancel it the website is giving me problems. I ended my membership on 12 May 2023 and I want a refund. They say I am not entitled to a self refund however when signing up it says you can get refund within 30 day The numbers provided are invalid.

The company charged £95 for the subscription for which warning or confirmation mail was sent to me. They charged me without prior warning.

I would like the refund of the service.

Waiting for the reply.

Thank you,

Best regards,

My domain http://www.subconsciousbeliefs.com is blacklisted by MacAfee.

This is my domain and I redid the whole website, due to this blacklisting.

It is now problem free. Please go and verify if you need.

Please remove subconsciousbeliefs.com from your blacklist.

Thank you

Why has my renewal cost increased from $119.00 to $162.36?

My bank showed a charge from McAfee today 6/4/2023 for $162.23. Expected renewal cost should have been $119.00.

Advertisement under the Windows platform extremely hard to delete or deviate.

An irritated potential customer will move to McAfee's competitors.

This irritable concept has been applied for a couple of months; possible the app

was attached to some downloaded software.

conclusion: Bad management

No matter what I do with my computer, your popups still get through. It's very annoying and interfering with my work! I get at least 12 an hour for every hour that it's on! That's 144.

I Think McAfee created antivirus protection devices they made a virus that pin to the app that anyone might download,I called them; And they want me to pay for their antivirus services,So their app won't block my webpage or website. I think it is a crime or illegal for. Them to do so!?

McAfee automatically renewed my subscription that I did not want them to do. I requested cancelation and refund and was told I would not get any portion of a refund. Bad business! 8/24/2023

Everytime I open my computer, the MCAFEE always pops out incessantly blocking my use of the computer for a long time. I thought that this was already deleted when i purchase your NORTON anti virus. Please help and please delete MCAFEE completely from my computer.

You can't turn off the irritating and repeated notifications Mcafee makes. I have contacted the company and they admit this is a problem for customers, they gave me a service number, but nothing has been resolved and no further contact from us has been forthcoming. I wouldn't use their service simply because of this most annoying defect.

It's been over two months I keep on receiving McAfee notices on my computer and it's very difficult to get rid of this attack, this attack is so annoying that nothing could be done unless I allow it to appear on my screen and then try to remove, this company is pathetic to say the least
