McAfee LiveSafe - Who actually kept this and still uses it?

One bugbear of mine and it affects all OEM machines, not just from Lenovo is the bundling of pre-installed trials of third-party security software. These should be optional offerings at the most or better still not present at all. Windows Security in Windows 10 and Windows 11 is just as effective as LiveSafe and far lighter on resources. Lenovo have the facility via Vantage and Lenovo Now to simply add LiveSafe as an option to install like the Dropbox client, X-rite Colour Assistant, Winzip etc.

McAfee products are not easy to purge from systems either, half the time the removal process fails part way through and the commercial product removal tool meant to clean up leftovers when that happens is equally hit and miss.

But I'm interested to know how many people here actually kept LiveSafe and paid for a subscription to it via the offer price?
