How to get rid of McAfee pop up notifications? I don't remember installing it, or if I did, I uninstalled it ages ago and now suddenly there the notifications are again. Every post I've seen tells you to go to Applications and use the uninstaller...but what do you do when you can't see the McAfee application anywhere and have no installer?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6
The same issue with the "McAfee..." pop-ups appearing for about 5-10 seconds every minute or so was also being experienced. The issue was finally tracked down to Safari's Settings/Website seeing the websites listed. I eliminated them one-by-one until the "McAfee..." pop-ups were not appearing. It was the "Notifications" website item that was the culprit. After that "Notifications" website was removed, the annoying pop-ups were completely gone. Just for good measure, all of the remaining websites listed were also removed. The checked box for "Allow websites to ask permission to send notifications" was also unchecked.
Fake popup ad is now gone thanks to these instructions. I was trying to log in to a website to send some files, but it got misdirected. (WARNING! The website that got spammed was: wwww.yousendit.com)
Starting up in Safe Mode was only advised as the OP said their computer was frozen and unable to shut down. It is not necessary to make changes in Safari settings.
It is not necessary to make changes in Safari settings.
It is if you want the top right of screen slide in notifications to stop.

I have a Macbook Air. McAfee and Norton are using my settings function to send their pop-up notifications about viruses asking for money. Can you give me suggestions to stop them?
