McAfee security package.

Hi all

I am on unlimited BB with free McAfee security, today it says my subscription has expired.

Anybody know why ??.

I don't know with PlusNet, but with Barclays (who I use) you get a key for a year, and have to request another one after that.

Has it been around a year since you've been using it? If so raise a ticket.

Re: McAfee security package.

I am on unlimited BB with free McAfee security, but every year I get emailed by Mcafee under the threat that I won't be protected if I don't renew. How do I stop this happening?

Fix

@shankalamb

I've looked over this and can see you've been discussing the issue with our support team, they've provided an update on to your account earlier today here. https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=161180775

@alanw22

That email looks strange. I've checked your account and can't see any issues with the McAfee service we provide so there should be no problems.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but your link doesn't work.

Re: McAfee security package.

Perhaps the link isn't for me, but for the other person? 

Anyway, I'll try to resolve the problem with mcaffee customer services. The problem being, that I can't seem to cancel the annual payments I have been making to them, despite it being free with Plusnet. It is free with Plusnet isn't it? How long has it been free?

£2 a month on the unlimited fibre 

Hmm... £24 p.a. for chocolate-teapot protection?

Visit Amazon and you can buy Kaspersky or BitDefender or Norton for less (and for several PCs, not just one) and get protection that is worth having.
