I never trusted McAfee Antivirus. Something in their ads or presentation repelled me.

I bought a package several yrs ago. 60 bucks for 2-yrs. Set up auto payment. Just came time for renewal and it was $130.00. Canceled subscription. They still tried to take payment. Bank called and I informed them to block the transaction. After many attempts to get my 130, it finally succeeded. Now bank tells me I have to deal with McAfee...smh.
