I brought Mcfee Total Protection from Argos. I have been buying it for the last couple of years. I brought it recently and inorder to complete activation i need to enter my bank details (for auto-renewal). I do not want to enter my bank details and do not want the subscription automatically renewed. I am on a tight budget and also forget to cancel subscriptions. (It does not matter if I can do it later.) It was very disappointing that it is mandatory to enter bank details.

A friend recommended the free version. It does the basics, but it's so called protection is aweful. If I run an app, it will randomly notify me that the 24/7 protection is on. Worse still when using games it notifies me so often it has periods of non stop spamming while I'm playing, slowing the game, disconnecting it and at worst causing it to crash, if this continues I'm switching to something else rather than risk further issues.

I pay for the service and it used to give a level of confidence. Like a lot of others though seeing more and more issues. The VPN was a great addition but still not working after many months of updates. The other issue is I am repeatedly I have a data breach. To sort this I need a code. The mail never arrives before the app times out? My score is "fair" but I would prefer to know I am safe. Why do you have to split the app into so many sub apps? Just give me one that covers all devices.
