I am still having problems with Cox version of McAfee. Running Big Sur 11.0.1. Continually get message "Allow us to continue your setup" with only option to click is "OK". Have to pay extra for help with McAfee, so I did and they took control of my computer and said it was fixed. It is not. I canceled the service. Won't let me set up firewall or real time scanning. I'm a little disappointed in the product and the service.
You payed for the "fix?" This isn't right. Cox purchased a license to distribute McAfee, so it's free to us. Where'd you get this version of McAfee?
I got it from Cox download. They don't support fixing McAfee stuff. You have to subscribe to Customer Care for $10/month to get support for McAfee product and then they don't know how to do it.
You're correct. Cox doesn't fix or maintain (support) McAfee stuff.
Like most software, you need a license...or free-trial license...to download, install, use and update McAfee. It's all about the license. Cox purchased the license for you.
It appears Big Sur is the issue. McAfee isn't compatible, yet, with Big Sur. This obstacle isn't about support, a fix or a Care program. It's about compatibility.
You'll just need to wait for McAfee to "bless" Big Sur, Cox to approve and then distribute. Waiting is free and doesn't cost $10 per month.
