Preinstalled and uninstallable

This came preinstalled on my HP Omen computer. It's a poor antivirus product, spams the user constantly, and uninstalling it using the Windows uninstaller leaves files behind, and services running on startup.

It's bizarre that McAfee releases a separate downloadable tool to completely remove the software in the first place, but in any event that tool fails on my PC with a mysterious error message.

McAfee isn't antivirus software; it's a virus.

So many problems with this software

So many problems with this software. Poor user interface. Continuous glitches. Customer service prolong any issue you may have. They ring you when you don't need them to and don't ring when you do want them to. Pretty dismal generally. Even the free version of AVG is far better than the subscription McAffee.

Spam emails

They claim to be able to protect your computer and they are the ones that bombard you the most spam emails in this world. I wouldn't renew it even if you kill me. Waste of a company

Avoid avoid avoid

Avoid avoid avoid. Dishonest people. I reported faults and was told they were a known problem. Nothing happened. Requested a partial refund. Nothing happened despite being told I would be contacted by a supervisor. Disgusting company culture. Tell everyone you know avoid avoid avoid

NO HELP AT ALL

NO HELP AT ALL! This company may indeed be providing good security for my PC but trying to communicate with them is impossible. They send emails all the time but when you try and respond through the proper channels you get nowhere. Definitely NOT recommended.
