Mcafee Complaint - Cheats - adware security

adware security - Complaint
Review by dude8 on 2010-02-10
On the Mcafee official site it give two options to buy spyware protection. The one I chose was $49.99. When I clicked on that option it sent me to a cofirmation/cart page, which had the price in Danish Kroners (ddk). It was 989.00 ddk, without a US dollar amount. So I did the conversion on another website, and 989 kroners converted to US dollar comes to $180.00 US dollars.
Is this fraud or what?

Sounds more like a glitch than fraud.
Because when I just tried it; everything pulled up in US dollars.
The only thing that made it more than what they said on their page was the extra stuff they're trying to get me to buy that I can just simply remove.


Are you sure you went to the US McAfee site. They do have other countries they cater to.

That's what it sounds like to me too. Just go back and refresh the page. It should clear up. You may have to clear your cache and delete the cookies.

Why do people always jump to 'fraud' instead of 'wow, something freaky is going on'?

Because it's easier.

In the time it took to write this review, the OP probably could have solved the problem.

Ken, it bothers me when people don't take a minute to think and just assume the worst. I'm guilty of doing that on occasion, but before I actually act on my first reaction, I at least try to look for a reasonable explanation before making accusations. It's better to figure out a solution right away then wait for someone to get back to me. Being impatient can sometimes have advantages, both for myself and the person who is spared having to read my complaint!
