Lots of people with the same problem, McAfee protection turning itself off, and/or constantly having to re-verify subscription. As with the Apple forum, no one knows why, no one offers a solution, except for reinstall (the equivalent to Apples' "5 r's" retry, reboot, restore and whatever). The only replies are lots of "me too's". But if that one solution doesn't work, learn to live with it. Now I know Apple just wants to sell more ipods, so it's in their best interests to make a fragile product and offer no product support. But how would the same mindset profit an internet security program? It's not as if the user would go purchase the same product again. McAfee live help is not helpful. I guess that, inless they fix this, people will stand it about as much as they (and their finances) can, then go malware protection shopping. As for myself, I've been looking at returning to Norton, or checking out Lavasofts' new all in 1 program. It's just a shame and a puzzlement that it should come to this.
