If these problems can`t be rectified i can`t see how anyone would wan`t 2 years.Even for free.While people play the waiting game and wonder if they are infected.I am at a loss for words.

Re: Should McAfee be compensating users after 5958 debacle?

In the link I posted on April 25th (http://us.mcafee.com/en-us/landingpages/np5959.asp?cid=77220) you now have the choice to click on a link to apply for the 2 year free extension. Unfortunately this again only applies for US and Canadian and not for International citizens. And the offer expires on May 31st.

I sure hope McAfee will soon update, in my case, the Dutch site as well!!

Regards,
Sandra

Nix,

I'm sending you a private message in moments, containing your SR#.  Remember a few days back when I told you I wanted to dig into your case?  Well, I did, and therefore got your info.  This should give you all you need.

Anyone else who has misplaced their SR, you may call McAfee Customer Service and they can provide it to you.

Like we've said from day-one on this issue, McAfee will do everything it can to make good with its customers.  We own up to our responsibility on issues, and do our level best to keep you satisfied.  To avoid phony claims, we do need to collect some info from anyone impacted...but it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to fill out.

Re: Should McAfee be compensating users after 5958 debacle?

My concern is that it will take a long time to hear back that they have even agreed that your charges are reasonable. In my opinion they should have people working on this and getting back with people ASAP. This has no doubt been a big hassle to all involved., but it was not our fault. I am concerned we will all get the run around shuffle. By the time I get paid, if at all,it will be almost two months post incident. To me that is unacceptable. This is not rocket science. I don't know who is McAffe's PR person, but wow. This hunker down mentality doesn't go to well with the troops. The key is to immediately admit you made a mistake, provide a remedy, have dedicated phone numbers and personnel to deal with the problem, notify people by email . We had to wait two weeks just for McAffe to post a form to fill out and another month or two to see if we get paid for our trouble. In my humble opinion there has been two debacles; the event and McAffes' response. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. As John Wayne said," Sorry don't get it done".

Re: Should McAfee be compensating users after 5958 debacle?

I just completed your form  to get paid. You guys must be joking!  Please allow 8 to 12 weeks after receipt of your request to get paid. You guys must like to fall down and bleed a lot. In my humble opinion the chances of keeping McAfee customers for an extended period of time are slim and none, and slim just left town. I guess were all stuck. How can this not leave a bad taste in your mouth. See what you can do to speed this up. Your customers are clearly unhappy.
