I already have Mcafee but my subscription is expiring will this product work to update the current software I have?

I bought McAfee Total Protection through Amazon and it upgraded my McAfee very nicely. I am completely satisfied.

I no longer use McAfee, It by far is the worst anti virus program. Save yourself a huge hassle and get Vipre. I've been using it for 2014 and got the lifetime contract and LOVE it. I truly believe that McAfee is a virus itself.

It comes only with a trial version of McAffee. At least that's what mine came with. You can get a good, free antivirus program called Microsoft Security Essentials. Hope this helps!!

Hi I had to contact Customer Services, which, at best, is hit and miss and at worst is an appalling experience Beware of their tendancy to try and sell you "essential clearing of numerous viruses from your infected computer" I use Windows Defender, CCleaner and Malwarebytes, all free to download, I binned Mcafee Good luck

the license does not expire. You can probably upgrade it at some point in the future.

Hi Inspector, I have been using Trend Micro for six years and I'm very happy with it. The subscription is for one year. During that time, you will receive daily updates of the virus definitions to keep your software as up-to-date as possible. Renewal for the package I have is $59.99 per year.

I think it depends if you have just the basic security updates, or if you have the additional service enabled. In either case, I have not yet to renew, so I am not sure...However, I think it is about $100 for the basic updates, and about $200 for the full package...

If you had McAfee previously on your computer it must be removed in order to download the one bought from Amazon. Yes, it does give automatic updates and so far has been very effective. I plan to also use the disc to load McAfee on my other computer at another place. It can be used on three computers. It is a good deal, I don't why anyone would want to pay the full regular price when they can get it for cheap from Amazon. jayteacher@bellsouth.net

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

The software is good for as long as you have it. I have had mine for almost 2 years and as long as you have the security USB card you are good to go.

I don't know about Kapersky, but SecureAnywhere runs just fine along side McAfee. McAfee did notice it was there and said something weekly stated about it not being wise (or words to that effect) to run two antivirus programs at the same time. That being said SecureAnywhere found and dealt with trogans and keystroke recorders that McAfee never detected. I work in a school district with old computers running XP and using a flashdrive to transfer yearbook related materials to my home computer is where my difficulties have arisen.

I used it on an old computer hard drive, my McAfee cleaned the viruses on the old hard drive and was able to recover files. If you don't have a virus program you may infect the computer you are using.

it came with 30 day trial of McAffi but I always remove the anti virus that comes with any computer and install Microsoft Essentials which proved to be better than any thing else as it is effective (never had any problems with it) and free.

dont know.. i never used the McAfee security with this system.. i had 6 months left with Nortons 360.. from other computer and used that.. i bought my computer around june 29.. and have never had problems with it.. even when i left if on for 24 hours straight for downloading.. i use an HDMI cable to hook up this computer to my 32"HDTV.. and watch a lot of high def content... this computer is a pretty good home theater PC [HTPC]... on a side note you might qualify for free windows 7 .. i saw a article about it on cnet dot com.. go to cnet... click on News tab.. and search "free windows 7 upgrade".. you should find the article easy.. i havent gone through the process yet.. but our aspire X1700 should be eligible... acer dot com/windows7upgrade/ ... replace the "dot" with a "." and it should take you to the acer page.. if you cant find the link on cnet

I believe the software "upgrade" will. We have the standard software wanted to see if we like it before we spent more money. So far so good (7 months using the program). Might upgrade in 2014.
