mcafee subscription ran out.why?

I 've had att a very long time and have had free virus protection from mcafee as well.Does my changing over to u-verse recently have any thing to do with my mcafee subscription expiring?

Hi if your migrating from DSL to Uverse you'll need to renew your mcafee subscription.You can download macafee here http://www.att.net/iss with your Access ID /Member ID login info. You might need to uninstall and reinstall the new software but im pretty sure that it would do that automatically for you. If you have any questions you can either call Att Support Team or Sent a PM to Customer Care

 

You might also find downloading the myattapp for troubleshooting,billing related question or anything particullar about your services 🙂

@jimymac   I would never load that McAfee bloatware on my computer.  I have great service from free AVG.  Can see other free options here:

 

Free anti-virus spyware

 

Good luck 😉

There is not a version for Win 10 anyways.  My free AVG was already for Win 10 when I installed Win 10 July 29th.

 

When Win 10 installs, it automatically deletes uncompatible programs. 😉

Not true,

 

I just installed Win 10 from Win 7 a week ago and all is fine with McAfee. It was untouched and is working well.  

 

McAfee, as you always say, may take up a lot of resources but it is listed as the best on some sites. If a program is using resources, it probably is working better than others.  As far as free antivirus, I used to have Avast.  It seemed okay, but I got tired of annying pop-ups trying to get you to upgrade.  http://www.bestonlinesecurity.com/

 

  • McAfee Antivirus excels in performance tests conducted by independent software labs
  • The software does not slow down system performance
  • The virus scanner accurately detects malware

 

Don't listen to mibrnsurg.  Stay with McAfee. When you load it, it will auto clean any previous anti-virus.

While I can agree with much of what you said, this first statement is a humongus joke.  It most certainly does, as all AV's do.  The question is to what degree.  

 

As for the second statement, I've removed more malware infections from systems with McAfee installed than with any other AV package, paid or unpaid.

That was just a copy and paste from the site I mentioned where it says "read more".

 

Don't kill the messenger. 🙂
