Constant popups to renew my subscription apparently caused by we advisor. Every few seconds a different popup. Takes me to the mcafee.com to buy more. I'm about to complain to consumer agencies.

Barb·26 Sept 2026

What a nightmare - don't want to use it on edge. Mcaffee is an absolute nightmare - have used it for years - never again. Just want to scan and get extra safety on web in chrome. I have months to go on subscription all they want me to do is renew before I can check anything else. Shame on you. Rating is 0
