How do I disable McAfee popups? They continuously popup and block my view on sites. I don't have McAfee installed on my system. Thanks in advance/
Regards,
Barry

How old is your computer? Many computers come with a version of McAfee pre-installed. However, what you are describing is NOT a McAfee popup. It is malware. If you have it, run CCleaner and scan your computer with your anti-virus software. CCleaner is a free download and you can get it here. Just get the free trial and ignore the driver updater.

Thanks Marian and Drac. I stopped them with Malewarebytes and total Adblock - add blocker. Those 2 combined solved the problem.

Excellent! Malwarebytes to the rescue as always. I still would suggest running CCleaner... there may be a bunch of persistent cookies somewhere.
