Easy setup, what I didn't like is it needs your credit card info in order to activate for auto renewal, and the price for auto renewal is insane, over $100 dollars!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Please note you do not need to provide your credit card info to activation. You can choose to sign up for auto renewal at the time of activation or proceed without adding it.

Ads keep popping up repeated (daily) to upgrade online for an extra $34.99 the "Total Protection" to a higher priced plan, which is aggravating to me. Sometimes I get the message that it is expired, have to uninstall and re-install; and several months before the 1 year is up, it repeatedly is saying it is time to extend it because it will run out.

Call McAfee Customer Service and was on the phone for almost an hour, mainly because I couldn't understand the customer service representative. The issue was not completely resolved, so decided to go in a different direction.
McAfee virus protection software was not compatible with my 5 devices from the start. Returned and purchased a different virus protection that seems to be working better on my devices.

The day after I installed this antivirus, I immediately got a notification that my information had been stolen. I thought it was a scam, but I contacted McAfee directly and it was a legit alert. I have high hopes for this antivirus. I hope it works well for the rest of the year.
