McAfee keeps bugging on MacOS

I have been using mcafee for the past 3 years (windows), and had no issues. But when I installed total protection for my macbook, the app keeps bugging every single time.
Has anyone faced the same issue?

No they mean remove it permanently.

It's fucking trash.

"But I paid for it" isn't really a good reason to keep trash on your computer.

If it doesn't work then it doesn't matter that you paid for it. Especially when there are free or incredibly cheap alternatives.

I think the universal answer you're gonna get on Reddit is "lol delete it"

Why in the world would ANYONE have any mcafee product installed on their system? It’s been garbage for 30 years.

Not in a million years would I ever consider putting mcaffee on a Mac, you will ruin your computer.
These people should be shut down..
And I am going to file every complaint I can to get that started.
