About a month ago I bought a new laptop. I also bought and installed McAffee LiveSafe which is supposed to last a year.
I keep getting messages saying "Your McAffee LiveSafe is about to expire. Renew for £19.99"
What's going on ??

I haven't received any emails, the ads appear on my screen.
It was £19.99 when bought as a package with my laptop.
On the back of the McAffe pack it says 'McAfee LiveSafe is a 1-year subscription'
When I bought it on 23/08/14, no one in Currys PC World said it was a TRIAL version.
McAfee and Currys. A match made in hell.
Unistall McAfee and get yourself a freeware alternative.
sounds like good sense and a program like Avast home would be my choice, without adding further to your costs. its a popular choice and rates well for a freebie. you'll need to register inside a month and its auto after that. but its all free. select the left option of three.

Did you pay £19.99 extra for it ? If so you could try getting your money back (good luck with that) as trials are free.
They should not have charged you for a trial version of anything unless maybe they gave you a code to keep it active for the year ?
As others have said McAfee is rubbish so if you didn't actually pay the £19.99 then all is well.
Easily done. Just follow the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKgf5PaBzyg
