Hello,
Try the following steps:
- Clear and reset your browser. Clearing stored data and resetting your browser might be enough to get rid of the fake McAfee virus pop-ups.
- Remove any suspicious extensions or apps manually.
- Run an antivirus scan to make sure everything is OK
- Enable an ad blocker. I recommendUblock Origin to block ads, and also recommend using the Bitdefender Anti tracker extension, to stop tracking cookies.
To sum it up, a browser reset and removing unwanted extensions from it should be enough as these notificationsand pop-ups are browser related, probably a browser hijacker or unwanted extension.
