I was letting my McAffee subscription expire, when lo and behold I got an e-mail from them that they went ahead and took it on themselves to charge my credit card for another year's subscription!!! Just looking out for my best interests, you know! I called them up (of course to an off shore call center) and made them credit the charges and cancel the subscription for good! Interesting that while I was on the phone I could overhear other call center reps doing the same thing for other people.
I will NEVER use a McAffee product again!
Same happened to me, and I did the same thing. Two days after I cancelled, someone sent me 2 emails with viruses in them. I wonder who.
