New Laptop getting McAfee to recognise my Sky Protection

[PeterJ64]

I have just bought a new HP laptop that came with free 30 days McAfee cover, thus has now expired and it wont recognise that I have cover from Sky

Sky have not offered McAfee for a number of years.

Sky have long since dropped Mafee total protection.  You should be able to renew your subscription online thru mcafee themselves

Hi thanks for the reply, but I am paying £3 per month via Sky for McAfee

For installations of a McAfee bundle downloaded from Sky years ago.  There's no mechanism within Sky for McAfee subscription management any more and hasn't been for a considerable time.

You can get mcafee total protection for 10 devices for £27.49per year direct. for 2 years . Cancel the sky subscription and go direct thru mcefee

Or even consider whether desktop 'antivirus protection' is still a relevant concept, given there hasn't been a computer virus  (which  is not the same thing as user-installed malware) for at least a decade.
