I use Mcafee on my old pc before. Now after some research seems Macfee isn't perfect. Please recommend a paid anti-virus for me. Thanks.

Hey, I have had my PC for a while and it came with McAfee antivirus. Should I just ditch it and use Windows Defender instead? I have Malwarebytes too. (Great software, unlike McAfee) Thanks for any advice!

Hello all, I have encountered an issue on my girlfriend's Windows 10 home laptop (Sony VAIO ca. 2015, i5 8GB ram). It was slow so we decided to uninstall her McAfee antivirus. She is a paid subscriber so we figured we could simply reinstall later if she wanted to. I looked through the installed...

Someone had remotly installed MTP and I now see that under the Account tab, it says 29 days until expiration. Why is this?

I downloaded a virus scanner called Stinger.exe. It also came with RealProtect.exe. Neither of these files can be located in control panel uninstall. This is supposed to be a McAfee file. I don't trust this entire program. I can see the file path for RealProtect from program files to the...

Hi everyone. :) I've come here to post this before posting on the McAfee forum because, well.... it's just a better forum, period! A day ago McAfee live safe started detecting and quarantining VDS.EXE in the local\temp folder. It detects it repeatedly all day in about 1 hour intervals. I...

I uninstalled Mcafee and selected remove all files. Then I restarted my computer and the sound was gone. Restarted it again and the sound appears but has a red x on it.

I recently got 3 1 year Mcafee subscriptions and it says it allows up to 5 devices. If I used it on one device should I be able to use it on other 5 devices if I remove it from this device or does this device take one of the spots?

Hi guys, so this has been bothering me for a week now and I decided I would try to go here. This product called SavingsCool downloaded itself onto my computer and since I had Mcafee it didn't stop the download because mcafee sucks. I got MalwareBytes after hearing good things about it and at...

I used McAfee Antivirus to scan which "did not detect any viruses, spyware, or other threats". [Title changed to reflect the actual question being asked - - Moderator]

I got a windows message saying firewall is turned off, but I payed no attention to it as I could access the McAfee App and that said real time scanning was active and I ran virus scans. It seemed to be enabled just fine. In security and maintenance it said both windows firewall and McAfee...

After running McAfee's Tech Check, one of 3 major must fixes was to enable secure sockets. Do I need a Computer Tech to do this for me? My PC is incredibly slow.

I've been reading claims that current versions of McAfee and Norton anti-malware software are now much lighter on system resources than in the past, when they were notorious for pretty much crippling many people's computers. True or false? Or have I just been reading shill reviews? I've been...

Yesterday (Saturday) I bought a new Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop from my local Currys. I get it home, and one of the first things I want to install is McAfee Internet Security. I am using this over Norton which I have used for many years because I got it free with a product I bought from Argos a...

Hello, I just bought an ssd and a new hdd, so I'm going to do a clean install. For the past year I've used the free version of avg as my sole antivirus. Interestingly, I was sent 1 year of mcafee for free with my ssd, and I learned that I get unlimited Norton with Comcast. I've read countless...

Hello everyone, I am finding that my antivirus McAfee (which I only use because it is free through my work) takes up a TON of memory and bogs my system down. I am trying to determine which services I can and cannot safely disable. Here is a screenshot of them. Thank you!

Which antivirus is good ? 1)Quick Heal 2)Kaspersky 3)Norton 4)McAfee 5)Net Protector

I have been using the 'much loved' mcafee for a couple of years now as I have never experienced the problems others have described. Until now. I have had this subscription for about half a year and it has been fine, then randomly it has started constantly 'Checking for Updates' and running a...

So I have at&t, and they offer McAfee for free through them. I already have signed up for this and we have a couple more devices that we can put mcafee on, including my desktop (which I custom built). I want an unbiased answer to tell me if McAfee through at&t is good, and if it is the same to...

Today my license on McAfee ended and my PC started lagging. I cant do nothing, also proccess plugin-container started appearing and its sucking my CPU usage up to 60%, for no reason. And i dont have Mozilla, i use Chrome. How can i solve this?

As the title states, McAfee doesn't load on start up anymore. Started happening a few days ago after an automatic windows update took place. After the update had me restart, I noticed McAfee hadn't loaded up. Even waiting 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't just running slow. I can click on...

On one and one only machine in our mcafee antispam is arbitrarily intercepting messages and requiring the user to approve the messages. This usually occurs with group messages which is doubly aggravating because the groups have been in use for years. I used regedit and went thru every folder I...

Notice I said "Remove" , not "Uninstall". We do NOT have any McAfee products installed on any of our PCs. Our previous ISP had never installed any, nor did our current ISP. A search using Control Panel - Programs and Features - Uninstall does not show any McAfee products. There is nothing shown...

What would be a really good antivirus choice? I am coming to the end of a subscription with AVG and i am wondering which is regarded as the top choice as a replacement . I assume that mcafee and avast are still poor (or are they?) Also, can only one antivirus be used or can two be used...

Have an Inspiron 6000 that was crashing before because of various adware and McAfee's notoriously high usage of RAM. Got rid of McAfee and tried ot put Comodo on, but it crashed when I tried to fully install it, and now it crashes when I try to uninstall it as well. Help?

Can't believe I am the only one experiencing this. Using Exchange Outlook, Windows 7 pro 64bit. I will receive a popup notification that a new mail has arrived. When I check my inbox, it clearly shows a 1 next to inbox but, there is no new email. I have to click on a few other folders and come...

I've had McAfee since July and never really paid much attention to it. I knew that it used a lot of my RAM(idle 22% of 8GBs) at all times but I just kind of assumed that was normal. Last night I began to wonder if it would be better to get rid of McAfee and instead use a free service such as...
