Get Rid of False McAfee Virus Popups

How to get rid of false virus popup warnings that appear to come from McAfee, Norton or Google.
False virus warnings are called push notifications and will occur if you accidentally give scammers permission to push notifications to your computer. These generally appear in the bottom-right corner of your computer screen.
In all probably you do not really have a virus, instead the scammers are hoping to earn commissions from selling legitimate McAfee or Norton anti virus software.
This video shows how to easily block McAfee and other false virus push notifications.

Thank you. None of the articles I read seemed to have a clue. They all suggested complex procedures or downloading various anti-malware programs. Your video very clearly explained that the problem was some website where I'd mistakenly given permission for notifications. But what complicated things for me is that I routinely have at least two different browsers open at the same time, often three or more. I first searched through settings on my Chrome browser without finding anything that looked like the culprit. But when I checked my Opera browser I spotted the name of the pop-up window and was able to block its notifications (and everything else about it for good measure). Problem instantly solved. This had become a very annoying distraction, and it always seemed like there should be a simple solution, which you provided. Thank you again.

[@daparocksstudio]

Thanks Daniel, I'm pleased that you finally cracked it.

[@danielwiener3157]

@@daparocksstudio This is not an uncommon experience. I'll run into some problem with our refrigerator or our spa or an appliance, but their user manuals never even mention the issue, much less providing a solution. So I google it, and see lots of other people with the same problem, but the wide variety of suggested solutions either don't work or are too complex to waste my time on to try them. But then I'll find one or more KZbin videos where the person has had exactly the same experience as me, and has discovered the simple and straightforward solution, and provides a video of the step-by-step actions to take to fix it. That makes it so easy. And (as in your case) the comments then are filled with people who went through the identical process and are profusely grateful. So once again, thank you.

Hi, thanks for taking the time and effort to share this info. It`s very much appreciated. I`m completely computer illiterate and i also experienced that EVIL Mcafee pop and had no clue how to get rid of it until i followed your brilliant instructions. Thanks again, cheers.

[@daparocksstudio]

It's always nice to know it has helped. Thanks for taking the trouble to let me know.

[@streets_aheadd]

AHHH THANK YOU!! didnt realize how simple this was lol. i guess this is what happens when your sister and her cousin decide to illegally download the eras tour via the most sketchy website possible 💀

[@daparocksstudio]

Thanks for letting me know. Always nice to hear when things get fixed.

[@BaddGotSteeze]

i absolutely love you. I searched all over google, and looked at like 6 different videos and nothing helped. Right as i was about to give up i clicked on your video and you took me right to where i needed to go to fix it. Much love

[@daparocksstudio]

That's great. So pleased that it helped. Thanks for letting me know.

[@salt9485]

Thanks so much sneaky jerks used the notification strategy and you saved me a MASSIVE head ache :]

[@sarazayet6425]

Thank you, dude, It started to pop up and I was getting worried, plus even 8 Months later it still works, You're the best man.

[@jordancooper3855]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! everyone else was just showing that the popups were harmless but didn't show how to get rid of them. Thank you!

[@magiccalls4116]

thanks mate these notifications we're REALLY getting on my nerves, you saved me alot of stress and time figuring out how to remove these annoying messages you're really underrated +1 sub

Hi, Thanks for taking the trouble to let me know. Appreciated.

[@anthonyjimenez490]

brooooo... tank you so much. I just scan my laptop and they was no virus so I was going crazy and boom!!! there's the savior making this absolute helpful video. THE GOAT!!!

[@drewski6843]

DUDE! Thank you so much for this video man. I just went to a supplement site to buy some products but ended up leaving with a spammer. Tried all my virus scanners and did not detect anything. I was like, yeah right, I'm not gonna be freakin scammed lol. Then I found your video. Thanks again, man.

[@tacticalhawk4531]

Thank you so much sir! After watching numerous videos regarding this issue, I stumbled upon your video and now I don't have to deal with this nonsense anymore.

[@daparocksstudio]

Great to hear.

[@extremly1019]

Even though I watched this video 6 months since the video I love how simple it was to turn this off. And all the other videos that I watched were so complicated and made no sense and this was a click of a button. Thank you so much

[@daparocksstudio]

Glad you got it fixed.

[@glenhandley7373]

I am glad you are fighting the good fight, and not giving these scammers who are hijacking people's computers, what they want. I feel if I were to pay them, they'd start doing the same thing a couple months later to get paid again. I did this last night, and haven't had a popup scam since. Thanks for sharing

[@daparocksstudio]

Hi Glen, Yes, sadly cyber crime of one kind or another is fully industrialised now, and some people really end up suffering financially. We all have to do our little bit to fight against it.

[@MerakiArtDump]

This was the only tutorial that worked for me. As soon as I didnt allow the push pop-up adds from chrome, all 4 pop-up adds disappeared and didnt come back. Thank you so much!!

[@daparocksstudio]

Thanks for telling us, and happy it's fixed.

[@sheenatroy]

So glad I found this. Mcafee fake account was driving me nuts every few seconds. Now blocked. Thank you so much. Very easy to understand and follow as well.

[@daparocksstudio]

That's great, and thanks for letting me know about your success.

[@lorraineruhl7738]

Thank you SO much! Easy to understand instructions, cannot believe I put up with this until I found your video, nothing else worked, not scanners, etc. And I have Malwarebytes Premium. Since the issue was something I inadvertently and unknowingly clicked on, I had to stop the annoying push notifications, as per your instructions!

[@crazeyspivey]

Thank you so much for showing me how to delete these stress-inducing pop up threats.

[@lindafinegan15]

[@chansongkaing7364]

Thanks! This helped a lot! And this is the reason why i don't make games anymore, the antivirus said that there was no virus after like 10 check ins. So i searched up some videos and this really helped!

[@user-og1mw2qs6p]

Perfect, short, sharp, to the point and works.

[@aliecat7722]

Thank you so much man. I figured it was a fake thing as there didn’t to seem to be a problem with my computer other than the annoying pop ups but I didn’t know how to get rid of the annoyance. You’re a life saver.

[@daparocksstudio]

Pleased you got a result!

[@falcosirrus8620]

I used the same method as you. Thing is, within 20secs of me switching off notifications i had a call on my parents landline. My mum answered and a man with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft asked her if she had switched off notifications on her laptop (it was her laptop i was solving for her). She told him she would get me on the phone but by the time i got there he had hung up. I have had plenty phone scammers call claiming to be from Microsoft but this one appeared to know my mothers laptop was in use and had switched off notifications to their pop up. Very weird.

[@puckarooo]

YESSS this happened to me but instead it was someone saying that i had visited an illegal website and will go to jail... I had clicked allow notifications on a sims 4 mods website 💀

[@penkoviii]

You saved me brother! I was freaking out! I did allow a website when using a free calculator on the web for maths. Apparently it was that easy to fix! I started changing passwords for Microsoft, thought that hackers will hack into it but i just had to add restrictions in settings. Thanks for the video. The HP phone numbers online are also a scam👎

excellent video. my problem has been solved because of this video. Like you , I could not for the life of me, figure out how to stop the pop ups, as I could not come up with the proper and correct language to get to the right video. Thanks again.

[@daparocksstudio]

Yes, it comes down to what you know. After I fixed the issue and made the video, I told my youngest son - a gamer - about it, and his attitude was, 'Pop-ups are easy to get rid of, you should have just asked me.' Still, at least we know now, should it ever happen again.
