I have had McAfee antivirus protection on my PC for 2 years, so coming up to the 3rd year I received the usual McAfee communication regarding renewal. I decided the renewal offer was far too expensive, and considering that my Microsoft Word was also coming up for renewal, I opted to buy a much cheaper package from Argos.When trying to install the 'new' McAfee software, I came across issues and the software wouldn't upload. I contacted McAfee on-line, but they were at a loss and arranged for McAfee call me. This they did, and after some investigation they said I had a 'blockage' (his words not mine) because I did not have antivirus software protecting my WiFi, and proceeded to tell me about the packages that they provided which would cover my WiFi and PC, which In my opinion was too expensive being in the hundreds of pounds.So, long story short this was blackmail, the only way I was going to fix my issue at this time was to abandon my Argos bought McAfee antivirus software and purchase a package from McAfee there and then over the phone. He sounded like a dodgy cheap car salesman.I declined his offer saying that I needed to think about it, to which he seemed most put out.I still had time remaining on my old McAfee antivirus software, so I decided to leave it until nearer its expiration date. Guess what? Today the new Argos McAfee antivirus software installed with no glitches. So lessons learned.1. Don't be too hasty uploading new antivirus software while the current software has time to run.2. So McAfee - what I didn't like was being held to 'ransom', the McAfee caller made it obviously clear that he wasn't going to help at all unless I bought the McAfee package that he said would cover my WiFi and my PC against viruses.McAfee I hope you're reading this.......you ought to be downright ashamed.
