- 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.
I spent hours, without success, looking at many videos on how to solve the pop up problem. This was the best, simplest and quickest way to solve this issue. Excellent! Thank you so much
My pleasure, Peter.
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.
Thanks Daniel, I'm pleased that you finally cracked it.
@@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 UA-cam 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.
Brilliant video. You fixed that garbage for me! What a hassle those popups are. They take up half your screen, always stay on top, and without your (settings) advice, pop up every three minutes and you can't X out of them. I also found those two as extensions recently added in my chrome browser and permanently blocked them in settings (three dots up right and scroll to bottom). Corporate viruses like that make your windows unusable.
Thanks from New York! My husband visited NBC News yesterday using chrome, and got bombarded with popups from security companies to buy their product (even though we have some of these already, they are bogus). Doing as you say to do cleared up the problem! You saved us the time and cost of going to a shop to have this fixed.
Great news. Actually some decades ago I went into a shop in New York to ask directions and, to my surprise, the man in the shop gave me a free map. So, finally my debt to NY is paid and we're quits. 👍
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.
It's always nice to know it has helped. Thanks for taking the trouble to let me know.
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.
Great to hear.
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
That's great. So pleased that it helped. Thanks for letting me know.
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.
Thanks so much sneaky jerks used the notification strategy and you saved me a MASSIVE head ache :]
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
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.
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 💀
Thanks for letting me know. Always nice to hear when things get fixed.
Thank you so much for showing me how to delete these stress-inducing pop up threats.
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!
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.
Thank you so so much I really thought my computer was hacked. I’ve only had it for a short while and thought that I really messed up. This was so help you don’t understand how much I appreciate this.
Glad you're fixed up now, Sean.
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.
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
Glad you got it fixed.
Thank you so much! Your directions for fixing this issue were very easy to understand and execute. I appreciate the time and effort you put into helping others solve this annoying issue with false virus popup warnings. You ROCK!
Thank you.
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!!
Thanks for telling us, and happy it's fixed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i even turned on the pop-up blocker and it didn't work, but this did. massive respect dude.
Great news. Thank you for sharing that.
This worked. Thank you for putting this on youtube. I hate these lousy scam thieves.
We all do. They are bunch of sociopaths IMHO.
Perfect, short, sharp, to the point and works.
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.
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 💀
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.
That's great, and thanks for letting me know about your success.
Just got rid of McAfee pop-ups coming in from another source. Thank you so much for a very clear explanation that was easy to follow and sorted the issue.
Good to hear, Linda.
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!
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!!!
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.
Pleased you got a result!
Thank you so much. I have Windows 11 so it was a bit different to find the settings you showed but when I did find them, I shut most of them off. And all the pop ups disappeared. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad you got it fixed.
Youre an absolute legend dude thanks so much
My computer finally doesnt feel like a drug trip after using it for 2 minutes
thank you bro, went through a variety of videos trying to solve this issue and it not working but the last part saved me!
Superb video. I had exactly this issue but the permission had been granted through Chrome rather than Edge. I wouldn't have managed to fix this issue without your video, thank you so much.
Good to hear, and thanks for letting us know.
Thank you. I tried so many antiviruses but to no avail. This worked like a charm.
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👎
I'm very pleased to have helped. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you so much! I was stressing a lot haha. But now they are gone!
The McCaffe popups seriously Piss me off. I will NEVER purchace their products EVER Again because of their rotton popups. Thank you for the video, I will block these settings as you showed. Ideleted the whole MCCaffe folder on my hard drive but every day get the same popup.
I feel the same as the poster below! THIS RESOLUTION WAS EXCELLENT! 👌
I'm glad it helped, and thanks for letting me know.

I am very pleased that it helped.
thank you sososo much man. I had absolutely no clue what to do but this helped a lot and im super thankful
My pleasure.
Thank you. You would think McAfee would have taken steps to eliminate this threat to their reputation.
Yes because somebody is profiting from this scam.
Brilliant mate, thank you much, straight and to the point it's much appreciated!
Thanks for the positive feedback, Bert.
After looking to much videos to get rid of this, this video was exactly was I was looking for, thank you so much!
That's great! Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the help. Short, concise and accurate.
Thank you this fixed it. I ran so many anti-malware that did not help.
Great. Thanks for letting us know.
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!
Thank you! I wish I had found this days ago. I am going to share your video with others.
That's great. Glad it helped, and thanks for letting me know.
Thank you soooo much!!! I have spent hours trying to fix this issue. Problem solved with this video!!!
Well done. Simple, straight forward, and successful. Thanks for the video!
That's good. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you man I hate those trying to take advantage of me bc I thought that I really did have a virus thank you so much
thank you so much i was litterly crying because of this, i love you man! ty ty ty i got 7 pop ups in 5 minutes it wsa so scary
I'm very glad to help. The people who do this kind of thing are heartless idiots.
Just used this after trying to stream a movie and got the same popups. Worked 💯 thank you !
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was really helpful.
Glad it helped, Chris.
Only one that actually worked! Your getting a new sub
Your getting a sub. I only recently got my pc then I was looking for mods on a game then I went and agreed to something them that’s when I saw the pop ups but when I used your strat I didn’t see them anymore. God bless you
Thanks, I appreciate you letting know, and I'm glad the problem is fixed. Well done.
@@daparocksstudio all good bro your an actual life saver
Top Quality right here!
Thanks so much. I was able to fix it in Google Chrome because of your video. You helped me out!
Thank you very much for your help, this has helped me finally get rid of annoying pop ups.
Good to hear!
I thought I was going crazy. Thanks a ton!!!
Thank you so much I had the exact same problem but mine was constantly sending them so thank you so much it was so helpful
THANK YOU!!! THAT THING WAS ANNOYING!
Great information. Nice and easy to follow
TY sir, got rid of mine too. virus scanner would likely never detect it as a virus/threat
Correct. It's not a virus, just a message. Glad you're OK now, though.
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.
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.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is the only one that worked!!
Thank you so much it was my first time ever getting those pop up and I got so scared
You were supposed to get scared, and then buy their software. I hope you didn't.
Thank you so so much.. I have a proctored test next week and I was getting concerned.
I had to look up proctored test, but now I get. Good luck with it.
I knew this was a scam because the popup would say that “your pc has virus” even if you are using any mobile device.
Thank you so much bro. Really appreciate this. Glad watch your videos. I almost make payment to this website
I'm very glad you didn't.
Excellent, I did both options you gave, and cleared it. Thank you so much sir.
So glad it helped.
OMG! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
I'm pleased that you're please, Patty.
You're an utter legend.
Thanks, I am pleased this has helped.
Thank you for the clarity of your solution
My pleasure.
