I get this error regardless of the browser I use on my Macbook Air. I've tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I don't have
a Macafee VPN. I really can't figure out how to resolve the problem.

A screenshot may be more helpful to determine what you are seeing and confirm that this is for an iPhone.


If you are using a McAfee VPN or other service offered by them, then you will need to remove the service or contact McAfee for support.


If you are not using McAfee and it is on an iPhone, then it most likely is an advertisement from a web page and not a system pop up. These messages will appear more often on sites that are less than legitimate.

  • Are you using McAfee or other Content Blocker at Settings > Safari > Extensions?
  • The website is apparently a "http://" site instead of the needed secure site of "https://". Safari will alert you that it is unsecured as well as any site should have an "s" at the end of "http".
  • It appears that a link was clicked from an email, is this the case?
