I keep getting notifications on my computer from McAfee

[trof]

15 or 20 a day.
All bogus.

"You have 5 viruses"
"Your payment did not go through"
"Your account will be cancelled"
etc., etc.

I don't use McAfee and I don't have any viruses, at least according to Microsoft.

Any way to block these?

1. I got a new computer and macfee was on it and I deleted immediately

And put in my trendmicro.

Years ago I used macafee and got a terrible virus that wrecked my laptop.

2. I get them too.

I delete them..

If one looks at these emails, scroll down. There may be a way to UNSUBSCRIBE to these emails.

Good luck.

3. They aren't emails.

They're notifications that come up on the right side of my screen.

6. You have some type of adware.

Download and run this app, It should clear it for you.

4. Do not unsubscribe from such emails!

Just delete them or mark as spam.

Scammers will not respect your wishes to unsubscribe. Their email address is already spoofed by the time you get it.

You are just telling them that there is a live person at the other end of that email and they'll sign you up for ten more lists.

Really! This is how it works.

5. That sounds like malware.

Go to https://www.malwarebytes.com/ and download the free version and do a scan with it. Malwarebytes catches shit no other anti-virus/malware program I use has.

7. What operating system/version are you running?

I recommend the free version of CCleaner for Windows to remove bloatware. McCaffee puts stuff all over the place. Browser extensions, start up items. CCleaner consolidates those locations for you. Once you've removed the software and rebooted, you can run the registry cleaner if it doesn't make you nervous.

8. I was getting them, the last one said they charged my credit card $499.99 for a two year

subscription. I checked my credit card no such charge was made. I think they gave up on me, haven't received anymore for weeks.
