McAfee Total Protection does require new and updating subscription customers to provide a valid credit card in Step 2 of the download process. **Step 1 is to input your activation code and email address. Step 2 is where McAfee requires a new user as well as a renewing subscriber to input a valid credit card into McAfee's database. There is no way to proceed to "Step 3 - Download" without providing McAfee with a credit card in Step 2. Two technicians tried, and advised that once the credit card information was entered into McAfee's database, it could be deleted in the "My Account" section after the download. However, even if the credit card data has been "removed", the data is still in their database, although it is not visible to the user. The data is still in their records. This is not secure as it should be. This applies even if one has purchased a non-renewal form of McAfee Total Protection from a business or Amazon. One technician read a company email to me, that as of October 6, 2025, this is now McAfee's new requirement.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i didnt have to put in a credit card number
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can turn the auto payment feature off because they will charge you one month before expiration date.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No automatic renewal unless you check the auto-renew box. I always get this from BB.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not if you buy it from Best Buy, which is the best deal I've found.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They always ask you to auto renew but you do NOT have to. I never do as their price is really high and I can get it on sale much cheaper!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes they asked for cc# for auto renewal in a year
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, Simply set-up your McAfee Account for non-automatic renewal. They will notify you BEFORE your protection expires & offer you the option to renew or end your McAfee Anti-Virus Protection. It's VERY EASY.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes to both questions
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
