I keep getting REPEATED messages on my 2019 MacBook Air - with the Apple settings icon that says Safari is infected, also repeated warnings - (5-6) a day from McAfee saying the same thing- legitimate or scam??
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
Hello,
Apple or McAfee will never contact you in this way, it is definitely a scam. You can safely ignore these messages. Learn more about these scams here: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support.

Are those notices appearing in the upper right corner of your display?
Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.
Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.
For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support. Deselect "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" and you will never again be harassed with such an annoying HTML "feature".
