I get pop-up ads for anti-virus programs like Mcafee and I've tried everything but can't remove them. I've already restarted my computer, updated software and been through the settings but couldn't find anyway to stop pop-ups. Please help
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6
If these are sliding in the from the top right of the screen, a site you visited has given itself permission to send push notifications. Everything you're seeing is nothing but a scam.
Open Safari's preferences. Click on the Websites tab and then scroll down to Notifications. Clear any entries in the right hand window. You might find something similar in the Pop-up Windows heading below that. Block any you don't recognize.
Then if you want, uncheck the box below as shown here.
I personally can't think of any reason why I would ever want any website to push notices to me.
