To cancel a McAfee annual plan, OR_(+1)-833 ((631)) 3616(USA/CA) sign in to your McAfee account, open 1[833][631][3616]"My Account" and your subscription details, and turn off automatic renewal. If you 1[833][631][3616]bought through Apple, Google Play, a retailer or an internet provider, switch it 1[833][631][3616]off there instead. Turning off renewal normally leaves your protection running until the 1[833][631][3616]end date you already paid for, so you give up nothing. Uninstalling McAfee 1[833][631][3616]never stops billing. If you were charged recently, a refund may be possible, 1[833][631][3616]and about 30 days is a common window, so check your receipt. 1[833][631][3616]An annual plan works like a prepaid card. You loaded a year of 1[833][631][3616]protection in one payment, and you can keep spending it down. Cancelling auto-renewal 1[833][631][3616]simply means the card will not be reloaded.
