So many fake short 5* reviews here))...Ok, lets speak truth...It WAS amazing Antivirus App, with reliable protection and not much interaprive notifications, and the option to use on ALL devices. BUT what happened recently? McAfee wants more money? Suddenly all my devices, except my original old phone), shows that my subscription is expired...But in Play store my subscription is ACTIVE! In Browser shows active, and Im charged for it. Support team just ignore me after 3 hrs spent and NO RESOLUTION

(all of the sudden) MASSIVE battery drain. For the last few weeks, my brand new S26 Ultra was dying quickly and was pretty warm just sitting on the counter (not plugged in). I went into the app/battery analytics and ran everything thru AI and it said this app was THE issue. I deleted the app, haven't had problems since!

I thought it would get rid of ads and clears hacks and malaria but it just tells me I had something in 2018 and everything is ok when its not. someone is hacking my phone, says I can't make calls and ads pop up all the time when trying to do something. 200 a year for what? but signing up was easy because I already have McAfee on my laptop.
