Mcafee nag screens JUST WON'T DIE!!

I have tried everything I know... or seen posted. Yet, these nag screens still pop up, stealing focus and time.

Yes... I went into the settings and turned off all notifications... yet, like Dracula in an old movie, these nag screens still pop up after I think I've driven a stake through their hearts!!

It's enough to make me consider switching to another antivirus program... after being with McAfee for more than TEN YEARS!!

Hi @cooljim 

Greetings From McAfee!!

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Since the auto renewal is turned off you are receiving this pop up. By turning on AR these, pop up will not appear.

Please reach McAfee consumer support for more queries.

Re: Mcafee nag screens JUST WON'T DIE!!

I never use Auto Renewal, as I don't want to grant outside companies access to my accounts.

Please check your records. I have been a McAfee customer for several... SEVERAL years! I ALWAYS renew!

But all of these dammed pop-ups are something new! 

I subscribe to McAfee products to help me KILL focus-stealing popups!! Now... McAfee is introducing the popups that I'm trying to KILL?

If there's no way to stop/disable/kill these popups WITHOUT signing up for Auto Renewal, I'll find another company to provide my computer's security! I'd recommend the same thing for anyone else who HATES popups!!

I have auto-renewal turned on and it just gets rid of the auto-renewal nag. The other nags are still there.

As of Oct 2023 this is still happening.  I am so sick of this.  I have auto renew on (although it shouldn't be a requirement).  I have windows notifications turned off for all apps.  I have notifications turned off in McAfee settings and even turned them on/apply and then off/apply again.

 

McAfee - STOP , JUST STOP THIS !!!!!! 

Like all your other of your customers, I pay good money for your app - year after year.... WE DO NOT WANT THESE focus breaking notifications.  I get them every day/ multiple times a day.  

Some notifications like the latest one I just got are just a snapshot in time - not even a helpful warning. Some of your other customers may be fooled by this type of BS warning and not realize memory is fluid based on what you are running - it's not the same as disk space. 

This is just turning me away from your product making me seriously look at other sw like the one in my task tray.

Still more nag screens... AND NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF!!

my renewal comes up in February. Since there's been no response from McAfee on how to cut off these nag screens, I won't renew! I'm going to another product!!

"You have 1.86 GB of junk files cluttering your PC"

 

To be more accurate, the nagging, focus stealing popup should read:

"You have McAfee junk software cluttering your PC"

 

It's time to give McAffee the 'Bud Light Treatment!!'

Now seeking legal guidance for a class-action lawsuit naming McAfee as the defendant.

Stay tuned...
