Customers Say
McAfee Total Protection from Argos is valued for its low price, easy installation, and reliable protection. However, many users dislike mandatory auto-renewal enrollment requiring card details and find it difficult to cancel.

Easy & the cheapest option
Perfect. My current mcaffee was coming up for renewal at a minimum of £24 (up to £50+) I bought this. Followed the instructions easily and now have a year protection for £10. Easy peasy. It connected itself to my current account. My laptop is 5 yrs old. I’m not a techie (can you tell). Hope this helps
HHH
But tricky to set up protection and stressful
Dont like the almost forced 'auto renewal ' part of setting up this protection. Never had that before.Made me think twice about using mcafee again

Excellent way of purchasing anti-virus product. Emailed to me within half an hour and cost about a tenth of the actual price.

Compulsory Auto Renew Not Expected
I have bought this product from Argos as a single one year use anti virus product for many years. On install I realised that McAfee had added in ‘auto renew’ with them before you could proceed to load it. It does say you can opt out which I will be doing. On looking at the description it does NOW say auto renew which it previously didn’t but having bought this for many years I hadn’t noticed it. This does not sit right with me at all as the renewal is £79.99. I obviously should have checked the description more carefully.

Quick and easy
Needed something quickly to replace previous version from Sky that stopped working. Easy to download and was up and running less than an hour after ordering.

Great price Argos !!
Bought the McAfee Total Protection as it was already installed on my Laptop, almost instant code delivery, and installation was seamless, to renew through McAfee was quoted £70, so at a tenner this was a no brainer. Only downside was had to give card details for auto renew, so a little bit of effort required to turn that feature off, but that's not Argos fault just McAfee trying to get you to auto renew next year!! Well done Argos will be back next year for sure.

I HAVE PAID ABOUT 50 POUNDS, THE MCAFEE I BOUGHT FROM ARGOS I COULD NOT USE, WASTED MY MONEY! HAD TO RENEW IN ANOTHER WAY BECAUSE THE ONE I BOUGHT FROM ARGOS THEY WANT YOUR CARD DETAILS FOR AUTO RENEW. 39 POUNDS TO RENEW AND 9.99 WAS WASTED!!!
Thanks for the info, however, I have already got McAfee security downloaded, I bought McAfee Total Protection from Argos a second time... because my Subscription is coming to an end... was hoping I could just type in the Product Key without having to put in my card details, do not want auto renew! But cannot be done, very annoying!
