McAfee^® LiveSafe™

Q: What happens if I don't renew McAfee LiveSafe?

If your McAfee LiveSafe subscription expires, it won't provide you with the same level of protection it does when it's active. Your software will no longer update with the most recent bug fixes or enhancements, so you won’t be protected from the most recent threats. Once your antivirus software's subscription has reached its expiration date, you must decide whether to resubscribe, purchase another solution, or install a free solution.
