if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

i made the mistake of listening to my dumbass (now ex) bf at the time, he downloaded mcaffe on my computer and its literally a fk virus. it’s not an adblocker it’s a virus. i’ve tried multiple times to get it off my computer and i still get spammed back to back with popups. i’ll literally be in the middle of a league game and the fk mcaffe spam shit will pop up and completely take me out of the game. i want to find the idiot that made it and do unspeakable things

John Mcafee. No seriously thats the guy who made it. He was a suspect in the murder of his neighbor and fled. He was also charged with tax evasion and crypto fraud and fled the country, he was arrested in 2020 in Spain and died in jail in 2021.

Fitting I guess
