Hi all,

As of September 2024, McAfee Good is no longer available for free on Fibe or WHI (Wireless Home Internet) subscription's. If you are interested in McAfee Security through Bell, you will need to subscribe to McAfee Better or Best. 

This can be added by logging into your MyBellOpens in a new tab or windowprofile and selecting the following options:

  1. After logging into your MyBell account go to your internet service / internet overview.
  2. Select the "Change features" option.
  3. Select the "Security" option.
  4. Select either the McAfee Best or Better add-on.
  5. Click continue.
  6. Review the terms and then click "Accept terms and submit".

Good Day.

The Good Bell McAfee package is no longer available as of September 13, 2024. Customers who already had the free Good package included with their internet (prior to Sept 13th 2024), will keep the service until they decide to modify their Internet package. 

New customers signing up after Sept 14th are given the option to choose if they wish to subscribe to the Better or Best package at a monthly cost of $5/$10.

If you are interested in McAfee Security through Bell, you will need to subscribe to McAfee Better or Best. 

This can be added by logging into your MyBell profile and selecting the following options:

  1. After logging into your MyBell account go to your internet service / internet overview.
  2. Select the "Change features" option.
  3. Select the "Security" option.
  4. Select either the McAfee Best or Better add-on.
  5. Click continue.
  6. Review the terms and then click "Accept terms and submit".

Take care.

I had to phone Bell to have someone remove from billing since I have no option to do so.

I have Fibe service and was told that McAfee security is covering my services. I just got a new pc and need to understand how I activate it?

Thank you

Hi there @Elsmans,

Welcome to the Bell Community 🙂

When activating/installing Bell McAfee you will need to sign in to the McAfee My Account dashboard using your MyBell log in information.

For a step by step check out the link that @Vanadiel posted above called: How to activate and install McAfee Security from Bell.

Let the Community know if you have any other questions.

Hello

The Question is: To Sign in to McAfee OUTSIDE of Bell do I use the same sign in as Bell or do i need to open separate account for Mcafee. I already have mcafee with bell & no problems but i would like to sign in directly  Mcafee & when i try with same log in as bell it refuses.

Thank you Elsmans

Hi @Elsmans,

Thank you for clarifying the scenario.

You can only access Bell McAfee using your MyBell credentials. You need to access the McAfee Security My Account dashboard while logged in via MyBell, and you can do so using the following link: McAfee My Account dashboardOpens in a new tab or window The dashboard opens in a new window once you have logged in via MyBell.

Let the Community know if you need anything else.

Included promo for mcafee subscription. How do I get it on my device or PC? Where do I find it? It's on my bell bill.

I am trying to find how to download thinks version on a windows 11 pc. The links I try from the articles on the website just lead me back to the my bell page (I am logged in). Any ideas

Try using this link.  It should take you to Mybell to sign in, and if you subscribe to Bell Internet services on that account, it should show up as a download.

If you are like me and have separate accounts for Mobile and Internet, you need to make sure you are logged into your Internet account as it will not be available from that link when logging into a Mobility only account.

THank you. I tried this link, with different browsers and it keeps sending me back to the main my bell page (after login).  Not sure what's going on.

Having the same issue. Clicking on the download links seem to just bring me back to the main My Bell page. Nothing actually downloads and cannot get to the McAfee dashboard. I tried allowing pop ups and re-directs in my browser settings but that did not help either. Seems like the links are broken?
