I think this is a scam!!! I have pop ups that say my computer is infected. I'm going to cancel, call my credit card & report it

Das Add-on einfach aktivieren indem der Button angeklickt wird und fertig.
Funktioniert einwandfrei.

This keeps asking for renewal AFTER I renewed. When this subscription ends...I'm ending McAfee. It's inconvenient and ineffective...I'm still tracked!
