Livesafe vs Antivirus

Jump to solution

In July 2020, I purchased an HP laptop that came with a year of MacAfee antivirus, which has now been expired for 172 days since July 2021 is now past. What I am confused about is that my laptop is saying im covered with LiveSafe (up to 5 devices) and that it expires in 2030. When I log into my McAfee account, however, it says I have both Livesafe and Antivirus, and that the Antivirus has expired. Is my laptop completely protected with omegle date Livesafe or do I need to renew McAfee Antivirus as well? I’m just confused between the two and I don’t want to spend money on a year subscription if LiveSafe already protects my device.

Thanks

Since the McAfee which is installed on your device/PC shows as it is covered till 2030, it is not necessary to renew and your computer is protected. For more info kindly follow the outlined steps as per our article
