McFee antivirus scam

The ones I get are not sent from an official McAfee e-mail address but from very odd looking addresses, which is usually a sure indication that someone is scamming you, or trying to.

Since getting this new laptop a few weeks ago I have been bombarded by messages from McAfee every day. I'm glad I have been ignoring them.

Oh I tell a lies. I had one last August entitled 'Protect your identity from data breaches'. Then one in May and one Dec 2020. They are not regular by any means.

As I said, I have used McAfee for 2 plus years and have never been contacted by them, so I imagine all of them are a scam.

I am so glad this thread is on the go. I am receiving pop-ups from them at the moment. I have ignored them and will ask my son-in-law to have a look.

I use McAfee and have never had an e-mail from them.

Just send them to junk - or forward to [email protected].

I constantly get scam emails purporting to be from McAfee (which I have but these are definitely scams) and Norton. Delete!

I’m getting the same and it is from McAfee,or so it says. Apple keep insisting that their users need no other security but I had no trouble at all the year or so that I used one that was recommended here on GN. If anyone can remember which it was (maybe Norton?) I would be very grateful.

Are you sure the messages aren’t legitimate, from McAfee? They are extremely persistent - I got messages from them for years after I changed to Norton security. It’s one of the main reasons I changed to Apple,

The antivirus software is McAfee, so users should be aware anyway. You can set up a rule to delete anything with McFee in it?
