  2. New ODD Google Chrome Notifications

    Hi Bill, Shawnloveshorse is right, these are just notifications - a clean install is not necessary! There is a step-by-step tutorial on how to remove these popups from Google Chrome here: How to remove fake McAfee popups in Google Chrome

    McAfee popups

    a lot of info for me. never installed mcafee. now im getting norton virus stuff, something about money being taken, being hacked, lots of different stuff.... the mcafee that was somehow in cont panel did uninstall, not listed now, and Ive never seen all that other mcafee stuff. all the w-defender items are checked and say no action is needed, same w/mbytes. never had another one besides mwarebytes.

    porthos - I set msoft edge notif from on to off,,,the popup that was there disappeared at same time,,,,will have to see if it fouls up something else...this seemed liked simplesst thing for a novice like me to try, but I dont understand why things were okay all along so far when it was 'on'.

    McAfee popups

    all of a sudden started getting these. says I have viruses, says turn mcafee on, says its about to run out. Constantly in bottom right of my laptop. Using msoft edge. wndows defender is all checked off as good, and I ran malwarebytes. I dont know much about computers, not anywhere near what is called a "techie", etc. sometimes a new one comes up about every 15 seconds....with the previous one still there blocking anything underneath it. I found mcafee listed in control panel, so I clicked to "uninstall" it, made no difference. I dont now how it even got there, I've never had it.
    Also, a 'windows support' popup comes up in the same spot, says antivirus is not responding.
