"McAfee" is not installed on that Mac. Do not download or install anything to remove it. There is nothing to remove.


Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.


  • Go to Safari's Settings... menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove everything there.


For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Do not permit websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.
