Windows 10: Stopping McAfee pop ups

Hi thereI am trying to stop the McAfee pop ups that say my computer is not covered when I now have Norton security. I tried going into settings to turn them off and they are already turned off. It is getting really annoying! Would be grateful for any help....thanks

Hi Dbrown8 -

I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

What kind of pop-up do you receive? Is it a notification pop-up or a threat pop-up?

Having multiple security software can slow down your computers performance.

You may follow the steps below on how to manage the notification pop-ups on your computer.

Press Windows Key + I
Click on System
On the left pane menu, click on Notifications & Action
Scroll down and locate "Get notifications from these senders"
Locate the McAfee and Norton and toggle their button to off.

Close the settings. You should stop getting notifications from those app after restarting your computer.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

McAfee System Error Pop-Up

Yesterday I started getting this really, really irritating intermittent pop-up in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. It says that McAfee's detected an error and that I have viruses on my computer. Well, I know that's total BS because I don't even use McAfee! Is there any way to stop this really annoying scam pop-up?

 

McAfee Pop up

I do not and never have had Mcafee installed on my PC. I started getting a pop up today (See below). Defiantly a virus. I've run Defender and Malwarebytes, neither one finds and removes it. This has been listed earlier but neither of the fixes offered works. Is anyone else having this issue and come up with a way to make go away? Note, I copied this graphic from another list and the "Google Chrome" does not appear on my pop up. Thanks in advance, Tony
