2023-06-04	Ellen	I can't seem to get rid of McAfee. To me it's like a virus on your PC. I've deleted it so many times and it still remains. I hate this program.
2023-06-02	C	Not sure what changed, but the extension completely destroyed my browser and was causing my entire system to freeze. Unfortunately the plugin has become a menace.
2023-06-01	Aaron	The McAfee web extension has been a nightmare. Troubleshooting website crashes was a frustrating ordeal. I cleared cache, reinstalled Edge, and changed DNS servers. Hours of Googling yielded no solution for this horrible bug. Switching to Chrome didn't help either. Finally, I discovered a forum suggesting incognito mode, which miraculously resolved the issue on Amazon. It never crashed or showed errors. I didn't suspect McAfee until deactivating all extensions, and everything worked flawlessly. Reactivating them one by one revealed McAfee as the culprit. This discovery disappoints me greatly. Please fix this immediately!
2023-05-29	Franz-Josef	Bei mir wird alles blockiert. Seid dem letzten Upgrade geht gar nichts mehr. Selbst die Startseite von T-Online wird blockiert. Lächerlich, deswegen bleibt es deaktiviert.
2023-05-29	Leah	zero rating absolute nightmare totally ruined my online experience they won't let you post zero stars rating is required
2023-05-29	Forest	im not happy about mcafee
2023-05-24	alan	Happy with what I get for my subscription, would love more but at the mo' cannot afford it, my risk!
2023-05-24	Isaac	WebAdvisor eating up all the memory on any browser, crashing pages
2023-05-24	Rob	Just started happening this week. Whenever I go on the internet, the tab crashes and I get an 'out of memory' error. I check Task Manager and see that as Microsoft Edge is open on Youtube, for example, memory usage increases 1% per second... until it crashes. I did some tests and found that with WebAdvisor off, Edge doesn't eat all my memory. So, I won't use WebAdvisor anymore.
2023-05-24	Janice	McAfee is very confusing. I didn't even know I had to renew after so many days, then when I renewed for over $70 a year, saw first renewal for $39- I know I'm not knowledgeable about computers but I liked the old version of McAfee. I don't know how to rate as I just installed it. I'm not sure what my subscription includes and I hope you don't keep telling me to add on more protection.
2023-05-23	Ron	After paying the price we pay for McAfee, one would think you would be protected. But NO, you need this, you need that, always wanting you to buy something else. Since renewing my subscription in March, I've been notified I need two more updates, in which of course I bought. Is there no end to it? Keeps on I'll be searching for another. Do I have it or not? Who knows! Is anyone familiar with Norton 360? Why pay for this protection when you have 50 data breach's?
2023-05-18	Carlos	Cuando quiero usar youtube o algunas otras páginas, la aplicación las bloquea y hace que funcionen mal y no carguen, desinstale todas las extenciones en cada uno de los navegadores y era esta la que generaba el problema
2023-05-16	AVINASH	I have 3 more years of Anti-Virus Subscription. Yet, A Repeated Message of Subscription Expiry causing me A Terrible User Experience.
2023-05-15	Dirce	Muito satisfeito com os serviços da McAfee.
2023-05-06	K	it would be great if I could actually search the web but every time I type something in I get a white screen and I have to turn of the Web Advisor and the VPN just to search for anything. I pay for it to protect me on the internet me having to turn it off to actually search defeats the whole purpose.
2023-05-03	Roger	this is very convoluted and complex and frightening for anyone who is not expert at computer science. I am hustled regularly by so many protection companies including you. And not being able to speak to a person for help but doing EVERYTHING by computer is maddening. I pay but I fear my money is being misspent and not sure what I'm paying for most of the time. Could someone actually call me to clear this up please? 917-776-9209 Roger H. Simon
2023-05-03	伸治	購入したPCにマカフィーが入っていたので、その流れでEdgeで使用した。サイト、広告、ダウンロードをチェックしてくれるのは良い点。ただし、Edgeブラウザータスクマネージャーで表示させると, 他の拡張機能だけでなく、タブやブラウザ自体よりもメモリやCPUを使用していて、サイトを表示させた場合も、すべてではないが遅くなるのを実感する。他のセキュリティソフト付属の拡張機能を使ったことが無いが、もう少し軽くしてほしい。
2023-05-01	Barry	What a load of **, can't even get any work done, as pop ups happening every * 20 seconds. Keep clear from this piece of McAfee......*** nightmare
2023-05-01	JOHN	totally agree with Malcolm I have the same issues. John
2023-04-30	George	i keep getting notices that my McAfee account has expired. when i go to my account everything is good until Dec of 2024.
2023-04-30	samuel	muito bom.
2023-04-28	Carl	its great givee
2023-04-26	Raul	Originalmente funcionaba muy bien, pero de un mes para acá, me alenta terriblemente el Edge en Windows 11. Tuve que desactivar todas mis extensiones e ir una por una, para ver cual era la que estaba alentando mi navegador, y es esta. Me parece que es algo específico con Edge, porque no me alento el Chrome. Pero, dado que prefiero Edge por muchas razones, decidí desactivarlo en este navegador. Ojalá puedan echarle un ojo, porque si es bueno, y me funcionaba bien antes.
2023-04-26	Sharon	why am I just getting a notification of a breach in 2017?? its APRIL 2023!!
2023-04-20	Maria	Grande decepção, o McAfee. Deixa de trabalhar, não faz análises, não esclrece, ou seja, é tudo menos um protetor.
