I don't know what happened. I open the app and I just see basic screens now. I've also got McAfee Safe Connect. Plus on the Windows 10 Start Menu there is a separate McAfee folder with a McAfee app that won't open. What's going on? Is this a bug in the software? I'm thinking of canceling my McAfee s

How can I cancel my Mcafee Subscription?

I have been using Mcafee as a VPN and antivirus service for nearly 4 years, since April 2022.

Can't find the option to cancel McAfee subscription

I want to get rid of the antivirus that came baked in with the laptop but I can't find the option to cancel it. I should be in the right window for it but it doesn't show up???
