Ratings and reviews

Constant unimportant notifications, day and night, I feel harassed by it. Signs out frequently and without warning, multiple times a day; occasionally has trouble signing in again (gives a 404 when trying to authenticate login details). The login process is otherwise very smooth. Requires more permissions than other security apps in order to perform what I consider basic functions (understandable for ID theft check, but not for basic antivirus/internet security). Economic, but I regret it.

Very bad. I liked McAfee for many years but not anymore. I installed it on my new phone but the number won't verify and always just says Try again. No one from support whether from chat or phone can help me or understand my problem. When I tried to register to ask the community, the registration box doesn't work. After that I couldn't even get to the community page! I am really pissed off! There you feel left alone and the support is absolutely useless! Very bad service!

i love McAfee on my computer, but the notifications on the phone app are out of control. the same notifications pop up repeatedly despite being dismissed again and again. I tried to manage them, but they still would repeatedly spam my notification bar with the same notifications. Only solution was to turn off notifications, but now it can't notify me when I actually need it to warn me. I shouldn't have to choose between spam notifications and no notifications for an anti-virus app.
