Windows 10: How to get rid of all messages from Mcafee

I had McAfee on my old pc but uninstalled it. I have never had it on this laptop yet they keep messaging me, from unintelligable email addresses, to tell me to renew, it is obviously scammers but I keep reporting them and they keep sending messages, now I have had a pop up on my screen telling me it has expired. I know that and I want nothing to do with them, how do I get rid permanently?

Attacked by a McAfee imposter!

I'm writing this post from Kubuntu Linux, not Windows Ten, because my Windows Ten installation has been attacked by a monster in the form of a McAfee imposter. McAfee doesn't appear in the list of apps, so I can't kill it in the usual way by just deleting it from the Apps list. It beeps at me every 30 seconds or so, imploring me to enroll (and send them my credit card information) and warning me that my machine has been attacked by viruses. It flashes some variant of that message each time it beeps and won't take no for an answer. If I attempt to remove it in one of the usual ways, the next set of beeps is longer and louder. I've never used McAfee Antivirus, but I'm sure it doesn't behave that way.

So how can I get rid of it? My first thought is to run a different antivirus program such as AVG,but don't how effective that would be. My second thought is to remove it from the list of running processes, assuming (a) that I can identify it and (b) that removing it from the process list is necessary and sufficient.

Advice is welcome.

Not to suggest you take any action as a result of the commands below because you can really mess things up, but I'm curious what output you get when you execute these commands from a command prompt after you have completely uninstalled McAfee:
