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!
