McAfee Total Protection 2022 for 10 Devices - 2 Pack

UPDATE: I practically uninstalled everything on my PC and gave it another try and it finally installed. Then after installation I hit the "Full Scan" button and immediately I got a BLUE SCREEN/Stop Error. Then it looped into Blue Screens and would not even let me go into safe mode. I was finally able to dismantle some hardware and change bios settings to get back on. Immediately uninstalled and paid 30 bucks to Norton and everything is running smoothly now. I also have Webroot which is also a excellent choice. I am not even going to bother with a refund on this one. I really tried and had expected a lot better from Mcafee. Very very very painful and disappointing experience. PS: If you use Citrix and Bradford tools for work and other similar programs used in Hospitals and other companies, do not bother with this at all. It would not install until I uninstalled those just to see if they are the issue. Maybe some incompatibility issues here with essential tools. Let me start by saying, I have build several stable Desktop PCs and servers myself. I can make and retain RAID configurations etc. I am just trying to say that I am your above average skilled person in installing a simple program if nothing else. I have used Mcafee in the past for several years and then had moved to Norton. It was time to renew my Norton but it was not on sale so I decided to try Mcafee again. Boy was I wrong! I would comment on the product if it would just install. It took me over 30 minutes just to figure out from where to download the .exe file to start installation. I mean that is the most basic thing which should be clearly mentioned on the physical card I bought. The card says go to "Mcafee dot com / activate....and guess what?? This link takes you to their buy page where they ask you to buy it when you already have the code. So misleading. Anyways, then I contacted support. The agent instead of just telling me from where to download the file, asked me for my product key over the chat. Which I found to be very risky demand from a company who wants to provide security. I look at legal product keys as credit card numbers and should not be shared over the open internet even if the chat is claimed to be secure. Nevertheless, as I was chatting with the agent and complied with the demands, I was luckily able to find the download link. Then the real issue began, the program would start (even ran as administrator etc.) and then after 20 mins it would tell me the installation failed please contact support. I repeated this process over 4-5 times before giving up on this trash. I removed any programs that I could think that would be causing the issue. No luck. I am thinking now that they will make some lame excuse if I contact support and ask for more money as one of the reviewer mentioned so I am not even going to try and let this 20 bucks in the trash. So much for trying to save money. Maybe the program has improved so much over the years that it simply refuses to install on a machine where it sees a threat????Or no threat at all??? Well at-least let me know what the threat is so I can have a look at it. Maybe it is good but I will never know as it did not install. I will try to look for Norton, Avast or something now. Time wasted. Not recommended as of now and very disappointed. PS: Just after posting this review, I thought I would give another try to be fair to it. Guess what? Installation failed stating Mcafee Analytics SDK failed to install.
