[Petersumner]

I have just purchased Mc Fee antivirus software and have received an email from McFee stating “Identity Protection, your information was stolen”. 
what are McFee doing to resolve the issue?

My new Computer  came with a McAfee Trial 

I operated the identity monitoring scan

and the results said that my email was in a breach at a basketball fan site LakerStats.com

I dislike all sports, have no interest in Basketball and have never  visited that site and certainly never created an account

your scan can't tell me which password was used but says i must change it

is the trial version of the software just generating (False) example entries to show what it would look like if i bought the software ?

if this is supposed to be genuine information  what does it mean and what am i supposed to do with it?

Thanks In advance for your time
