User reviews

I've owned McAfee for a few years now(my subscription was a 3 years sub" and I've had this installed on my pc for the same length of time... it worked for 1 year and hasn't worked since... I have my set of sites that I use so never thought to review but I'm wanting to check some sites with safety which I can't check anymore coz this app simply doesn't work... im on the latest version of Windows as well
