McAfee Total Protection price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), McAfee Total Protection first-year promos commonly land about $29.99–$89.99/year by tier/device count, while renewal list prices are often much higher (Confirm ~$90–$200/yr class — live checkout). Cancel auto-renew in My Account on mcafee.com or McAfee Consumer Support (McAfee Service); also cancel store IAP if Apple/Google billed you.
Uninstalling the app does not stop renewal.
