McAfee has more issues than consumer spending!!

I recently was alerted that my subscription had run out. So I went to my online McAfee account and purchased my renewal. I then had to download the installer for the newest version. It gave me what was supposedly an installer for XP...but when I tried to run it, it said something along the lines of "invalid for this version of Windows". What a joke. I started fresh, redownloading, thinking maybe I had grabbed the wrong version. Nope. The installer they have apparently does not like my install of XP.

So...it may well not be that consumers are balking at spending, but that we are finding glitches in the product, getting our refund, and taking our money elsewhere. That's what I did.
