McAfee Deals & Offers

I'm using avast at the moment. Seems okay but does pester you a bit to upgrade to the paid version.

I'm sure it will have its critics but I've been using avg free for years and never had any problems. The only time we ended up with a trial version of Mcfee on a new computer it stopped so many programs from working properly. Not a fan at all

Nope they haven't and I also 100% agree. Persuaded by pc world staff to buy it when I was getting a replacement laptop. Ditched the subscription half way through and went back to Norton, have been using that for years.

Check av-test.org for results on free and paid for anti virus programmes be for you decide on what to get.

Never pay for antivirus, the free ones are better. It's well known that McAfee is a resource hog and slows down systems

Don't u get these for free with online banking? And isp?

An interesting article and the link to recent study from AV-Comparatives is also good reading. The problem is, I'm totally confused by the whole issue! What will protect me?

Always get my code off of eBay paid 4.99 for unlimited devices Never had a problem been using McAfee for years

Couldn't pay me to install it. You know the products crap when its own founder hates it.

Well they would say that wouldn't they.

As with anything free there is always a disparity compared to purchasing a full version of a product where features will obviously be limited. Depending on a users browsing activity and that they stay well away of sites that are dodgy then the free version should be fine, but you should always do your homework when choosing any antivirus software as they are all not equal. 😏

At the time of comment it was still available but Yes it has, due to it being Russian :/ Barclays had to pull it out

I fear Barclays have ended this.

my choice not yours (highfive)

If you pay for antivirus, you're an idiot

ive been happy with mcafee for years with no issues x great for this price

THANK U

Agree. That's a terrible processor. Plenty of i3s around for this kind of money.

Better deals around for better spec

N3710 and 1366x768 screen doesn't look good for this money

yep indeed thanks for additional info

Hope McAfee crapware is removable as its taking up memory (poo)

I would pay extra not to have to deal with any mcafee software, just saying...

Currys price matching worked out really well as I get discount through work when I buy at currys. Thanks for the post!

You dont need McAfee antivirus on a tablet or indeed any other snake oil. Only slows the tablet down Samsung will be getting paid a royalty from McAfee to put that crapware on there

This model was only released last year 2016 its the updated 10.1 and not the 9.7

Check info in the news media regarding the possible involvement of the Russian State Security Service with Kaspersky !

If needed, McAfee I.S. 12 month cover for up to 10 devices is also available at the price of £13 from the same seller. McAfee cover for unlimited devices is sometimes available for less than £20.

Then go watch his documentary on Netflix. That guy is nuts

Avast free Been using for around 8 years,touch wood problem free.

Open account in Barclays to get Kaspersky for free. It this case Kaspersky is much better )

One last thing, double check the laptop can take a 15mm drive as that's double the thickness of normal laptop drives.

Thank you for the info - greatly appreciated

Yes and slighty cheaper for the Maxtor branded case from th eBT shop £105 https://www.shop.bt.com/products/maxtor-4tb-m3-portable-usb3-0-external-hard-drive-hx-m401tcb-gm-C1RP.html?utm_content=RR00&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpJyNqtqJ1gIVhhobCh2EmggMEAkYAyABEgIIJfD_BwE However the Seagate case is easier to break into than the Maxtor/Samsung. And remember its all the same drive inside, the Samsung Spinpoint M10P 15mm 5x800GB platters.

can the drive be removed from casing and put in a laptop?

was 70 odd pound in sainsburys as my friend got 1, but i opted for the 2tb for my ps4pro for £36 wen they went DD

Thanks

PC world in sale. Lenovo Ideapad 510s. £100 off. Was last years processor but better spec than current models.

Where did you get ?

May just have to settle for a refurb with 12 month cover . Cant believe the prices! And cant wait for black friday either :(.

Yep I had the same issue. Thought I'd find one that has a reasonable spec and screen to run photoshop well at around £400. Not a chance. Anything under £600 are not worth buying in my eyes. Dunno why prices have rocketed.

Was..... The gold standard. Rightly quoted by experts and came out top on reviews.. Same today? If it works for you and your happy with it then great. Let's be honest. Microsoft needs to lock the software down or come up with something better. Maybe this will happen with win 10 eventually.. Who knows..

Norton internet security is the best.

Gluten free. Changing gas and electricity suppliers. Taking multi vitamins and producing expensive we. Av. Pet insurance. All gets folks heated up. I think it's because some think it's wasting money. It's like my neighbour spending £400 on a full service every year when he is only do 70 miles all year. That gets me going! Can't stop people and they are free to choose. As long as it's informed choice.

OMG it's like we are back in the playground again. What is Hotukdeals coming to?

But not really.

Some years back, pre-installed McAfee was driving me nuts; Someone on HotUKD pointed me to this and it worked a treat. I bookmarked it for future removal of pre-installed McAfee.

Please don't buy this cr*p, its terrible and yuo are wasting your money.

Difficult to get rid of in my experience' once you've downloaded / installed it trying to remove it is a nightmare! A lot of free stuff about and most broadband providers give you an internet security package for 'free' with their service so don't buy until you've checked all the options.

dont bother with this as it does not stop malware or trojons. as for removing virus yes mcafee do that but they charge you extra on top of your sub and will remove it or give you your money back.i use lifesafe and it seems to work no problem but also covers everything from mobile phone to ipad,laptop etc. but the fact that if my kids lose their phones or ipads i can track them or remotely wipe them but the best part is it will take a pic if the user enters wrong passcode so you will have proof of who has your phone (device) and the location of where it was tried.

Info only - some BT Broadband contracts include McAfee Security - I only found out last week, it showed in my account home page - so was able to download. Just in case like me you are with BT and didn't realise.

Any AV should be better than none, was running paid for Bitdefender, but renewal cost seem steep to me, now using Bitdefender Free with BitDefender Anti-RansomWare...nearly went for Avira, always preferred it in the old days, Opera as a browser with pop up blocker, nothing is perfect but this seems to be working for me. Plus opera has built in vpn.

I'm using McAfee at the moment, (free for Bt broadband users) . what can I say? I did get hacked in to my computer (Win 10). lost all my photos (only). Virus has blocked Internet connection (both Ethernet and WiFi) but McAfee was showing connected to Internet and I was able to update database but was unable to scan ma computer. I had to reinstall system in the end. we'll I'm still using it but do not recommend. Much better off with free Avast or AVG, best so far Kaspersky, might gonna have to go back...

I have issues with Qihoo 360 a few years back. My wifes PC* was infested with spyware, and Qihoo was STOPPING me from deleting it; nor could I disable or delete Qihoo itself. In the end I had to format the HDD and start from scratch. AFAIK Qihoo is Chinese government sponsored spyware. * Running the Chinese version of Qihoo360 with the PC running the Chinese localised version of Windows - I forget if it was XP or 7.

Many thanx for info (_;)

Cold from me sorry I wouldn't bother with mcafee even if you were paid to install it. reason it's cold: One of my friends had this and if screwed up his pc and he lost all his backups he had a nightmare with it.

£319 now.

McAfee and an Intel n3710 should make this somewhat sluggish I suspect.

Had it been a Skylake or Kaby Lake pentium that's almost as fast as an i3 6100U/7100U then it would have been a great deal, for this sort of apollo lake Pentium it's fairly average and has been this price for at least six months.

Of all the threads on HUKD, antivirus and Internet security ones are my favourite, by a mile.

Who put 50p in you?? X)

If you hurry, you'll catch Kaspersky Total Security 2017 (10 user) for £14.99 on Amazon Lightning Deal - infinitely better than this rubbish.

Avoid ! Even if they will offer you £1.99

​Very true. Intel destroyed it by buying it for 7.7 billion dollars.

McAfee is a virus. This deal would be hotter if it were no McAfee for 12 months.

avoid like the plague! stay well clear!

you will be better off wearing a colander as a condom. garbage security.

Thanks op didn't know this. I have Mcafee at moment and its been ok so will look in my Sky account when its up for renewal. People who don't have Sky will vote cold and people who don't like Mcafee will vote cold and people who only download free antivirus will vote cold, so soon this deal will be very cold indeed. I've nullified one for you and voted hot.

I find when you add security that's when you are most at risk

Now £59.99 sadly

Several machines, so I could can compare with Norton and Kaspersky, there are faster versions but the virus detection rates were poor - well that's what I believed then, which is the reason I had used it for so many years, plus it was free from my workplace. Now change software often but have gone to Norton 360 but will probably change again - they are all roughly similar in terms of detection, speed and resource hogging is more important

Bought. Cheapest legit Office 365 Home I could find. Shame I missed the £40 deal a few weeks ago, will keep my eye out in future! Will hopefully be able to flog the Mcafee for a tenner, seems to retail at £25 which is nuts!

Good deal, if you don't like McAfee just bin it.

yeah 79 on ao.com when i looked, also should be obvious 5-user version as specified Home not Personal.

No,just untick the free trial just so you don't bother with the free trial. Its free to use as long as you want, as an on demand scanner If you want live protection then you have to purchase

​What did you mean by untick free trial of malwarebytes is that how you get full version for free?

do not use this product. screwed up my laptop. had to get a factory reinstall recently.

This may actually work. Once suffocated you won't download or run any malicious software.

There appears to be a desperate effort to sell this dubious product. Its only days since it was last on here and it went cold then the general comment being "I wouldn't buy it if it was free". I will second that.
