Re: Mcafee Expiration? The subscriptions are short term to make sure you are still a customer of AT&T. If for any reason you disconnect AT&T - they don't want you to continue to get free AV.
Might as well put this here as well:
There was a major change with McAfee software for our customers.
Check this out:
»www.att.com/gen/general?pid=10935#tab3
New customers who get Express or lower speed packages do not get McAfee for free. There is now a 5$ per month charge.
What about existing customers who have Express or lower??
As of 10/18/09 - those customers can keep the currently installed McAfee for upto a year with no charge...
However - if for any reason you have to reinstall McAfee - you lose this exemption.
After that year runs out - McAfee will prompt you to subscribe and pay for the service. If your still on Express or lower. |

The web site link you offered doesnt differentiate that it comes free at any level, only that a user has the option to purchase it for up to 10 systems at a $5/month charge.
And as far as the expiration date goes, does it auto-update somehow when it compares my package subscription to the current customer list? Or do I have to delete/reinstall when the subscription expires?

| The web site link you offered doesnt differentiate that it comes free at any level, only that a user has the option to purchase it for up to 10 systems at a $5/month charge. That was my first reading. But then I looked again, and the page is specifically titled as "DSL Plan Details - AT&T High Speed Internet Express". I would guess that there are similar pages with details for Pro and Elite levels.

| Thanks for posting that.
Another change there, is that this is good for 10 PCs. As I recall, it was originally only for up to 4 PCs.

Was 4 if you never had the AT&T Yahoo Norton installed. If you did have the AT&T Yahoo Norton installed then you got 7 licenses (to match what Norton offered). |
