Purchased a "key card" from Amazon for Total Protection 2016.
I read and followed the instructions.
After the uninstall, the computer was restarted.
The install began.............the install ended and I was told I was now protected.
There is an icon on the desktop showing all is good.
About 30 seconds after I was told the installed worked I got an e-mail with a link
telling me
"Thank you for choosing McAfee. Here are your download links. You can use them to easily protect more devices and access additional features available with McAfee® Total Protection. Just open this email on the device you want to protect and start downloading — there’s no extra charge to take advantage of it.
The link took me to my account.
I do not have a smart phone or tablet I wish to protect. I do have two other computers I want to protect.
What "other" features will I be downloading and WHY is it issuing another serial number?
Please give me a simplified explanation.
Thanks

Hi G McM,
The Pop-Up is Legitimate. It is simply offering you the Link to install your (Password) Manager. Which is a compliment/additional layer of protection that comes with your Annual subscription. In addition you can of course protect your other devices/computers should you decide to in the future.
( Truekey requires it's own personal serial number to install )
I hope this answers your Question.
All the very Best,

I removed that link as it led directly to your account downloads.

Thanks for the service now would you tell me where the "link" was?
I only recall putting in the quote from the e-mail I received.
Was the link buried in the quote?
Thanks
In the line:
The link took me to my account.
The words my account were put in by me to replace a link that led directly inside your account. 😉
