Unscrupulous McAfee

I thought I would post this thread as a warning.

My McAfee 3 computer license is up for renewal. As I have had trouble with them in the past, I thought I'd do some checking around.

Hitting the renew button came back with an offer of £64+

Just looking at their site, without logging on, had the same product up for £32+,a saving of 50%

Doing an online search, the same product was on sale at PC World for £15.99

how they have the barefaced charm to treat their long standing customers like this is beyond me, and they should hang their heads in shame!

I wonder how many others have fallen for the renew price?

I know my mum nearly did until I stopped her. She has now cancelled her copy and is using one of my licenses.

Kind regards,



Phil
