Hi all,just a quick question.Has any one had issues with this mcafee net protect update,if so what have you done to resolve it.I have spent the last two hours with bt it call,all they have done is.Change my security to avg,they say the new update from mcafee should be sorted by Tuesday.I don't think its good enough

SKY users having same problem! I ditched the ISP (McAffey) antivirus and installed Avast Free and i'm reasonably happy with it

I'd go with that, like Norton its a waste of space, hogs resources and is just generally shite!

Uninstall McAfee - Use Avast

mcafee 

Someone once said when i asked about buying mcafee "about as much use as a chocolate fireguard"

Because i am a bit thick when it come to computers.After they installed avg i did not realize,i would have to log in to everything.This forum,bank,council,and to add insult to injury,my browser history has gone.Bt say the history may return when they reinstall net protect,but i think its bullshit.Don't mcafee check if an update is going to work before they release it.I am not a happy person at the moment,will have to get some beer to chill me out

Not my experience, having just paid for a renewal license for some £40 or so a few years ago, I had a problem, only to discover that ....' this version is no longer supported'! Got nowhere with them at all, they were happy to take my money, but not to offer any service. So I always use one of the free ones now, Avast at present which is fine. I also agree that it hogs resources, as it has far more stuff going on than you need.

McAfee, like all AV companies, sometimes release a duff update. They seem to release more duff updates than many though.

You can bet McAfee are working their socks off to try to resolve it, though.


Personally, I won't use McAfee or Norton now, both are slow, resource hogging, and troublesome. AVG is going the same way, and the free version of Avast! doesn't like my setup, constantly nagging me that I need to buy it. Thus, I tend to use MS Security Essentials at the moment, backed up with a Malwarebytes antimalware scan once a week.
