Q: macbook air 2014 "mcafee.loading-urls.com says: Renew you mcafee license now to ensure your data, identity, and privacy are protected."
On my macbook air, 2014, OSx 10.11.6 - I keep getting this message
"mcafee.loading-urls.com says:
Renew you mcafee license now to ensure your data, identity, and privacy are protected."
It won't let me close the page unless, I click the link
It won't let me move around the site I am on, since it keeps returning me to the homepage or generates another screen with a similar message
the strategy of going to the activity monitor in Utilities did not show the site
going over the url to verify it was blocked
help, please
MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

you may wish to run Malwarebytes for mac which is free and will remove any malware/adware on your mac that is is aware of. MWB does not protect against these attacks, but has been used to dispatch them. While no method is 100% MWB is commonly recommended and used on the the forums by many of us and developed by a frequent contributor to this site:
