Error E220 when using my account. I have paid yearly subscription for McAfee Internet security for all devices. Decided to uninstall it and after 20 min it is still uninstalling. UPDATE: When contacting support service, they told me that this app is at the end of its life. So why it is still available here and why wasting time contacting support service multiple times.

Terrible app. I wouldn't advise anyone to use it. It ended up completely locking my phone for hours, for no reason. I thought it would end up with me doing a factory reset, which as you know wipes everything. After a lot of messing around and worrying I managed to sort it. Not worth the hassle at all!
