  • 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

    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. 👍

    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 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 RUclips 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.

    I did this last night, and haven't had a popup scam since.

    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.
