Plusnet Protect vs McAfee LiveSafe

[#1]

Hello. I'm looking to upgrade to Unlimited Fibre Extra and notice that Plusnet Protect is included which is powered by McAfee. At the same time, I have separate McAfee LiveSafe protection which is due for renewal next week. I'm trying to understand if I need the separate LiveSafe protection at all as the impression I have is that Plusnet's service covers that, and indeed a call with a customer service agent earlier today suggested the same. Is that a fair assumption? If so, I might as well ditch the separate McAfee altogether. 

I'm on a Windows 10 device so leaning towards getting Unlimited Fibre Extra with the Plusnet protection if someone could kindly advise/reassure me that its the right call.

Cheers

Anyone able to verify?

Good evening @loruss88 

Welcome to our online Community Forum. correct, personally, I wouldn't pay for another year of separate LiveSafe protection as you'd be able to download the version provided by Plusnet via your online Member Centre. There's a couple of things I've picked up from personal experience though:

1. I have a MacBook Pro running the latest version of iOS software, and have not been able to install it, it's my impression (for now at least) that it's only compatible with Windows. I've not really followed this up as I personally use Norton.
2. Before downloading and installing it, make sure that all traces of your previous McAfee software has been uninstalled, as this can interrupt the installation.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the advice, it's really helpful! Figured it might be double-bubbling so really appreciate you clarifying that for me.

All the best!

Cheers,
