    Normally I don’t leave any comments on google, but this video saved my life absolutely, I should have watched it earlier instead of getting the stupid McAfee app and wasting my money

    Many thanks for this clear concise video. I successfully removed these fake, aggressive, intimidating, disruptive and fearful virus notifications (pop ups), on my Windows 11.
    You are a star, and I can fully understand how it freaked out your Dad.

    Your video literally saved me! I was getting all kinds of false alarms about viruses, especially from McAfee in particular, which was so confusing and anxiety-inducing. After watching your video and following the directions, I was able to completely get rid of the nasty, annoying notifications. Thank you for the helpful and concise walk-through! :)

    Thank you SO MUCH. Everything you stated worked PERFECTLY on my PC with Win 11, after I suddenly received MULTIPLE, NON-STOP (fake) McAfee ads stating my pc was infected with multiple viruses. On the last step on the 'notifications' page, under, "Allowed to send notifications" I only had FaceBook, (which I also disabled) AND something else, which DID NOT say McAfee, but something else. I didn't write down the name prior to removing it, but when I did so, the fake McAfee popups immediately CEASED. Bless you!!!

    Mcafee virus started to pop up on my wifes computer today. Found your tutorial and it worked right away. I found 2 notification scripits that were basically just a bunch of jumbled up characters that spelled nothing. Blocked them and immediately POP ups stopped. Thank you for the video and information.

    Thank you very much for this video about removing these dreaded pop-ups. I do not use McAfee so I knew they were fake. They were not present on the other browsers that I use, just Chrome so I removed Chrome then reinstalled it and they still returned. I followed the very clear steps in your video and they will not be reappearing!

I thought I was going to be down hundreds of $ to buy a new which as a single Mother I wouldn't have been able to afford plus with the cost of living crisis we are all experiencing. You are a legend! P.S for anyone else who tries this method it also works with normal Google as I don't have Google Chrome so I was worried about that. Cheers mate 👍

I will have this in my YT history for later if I forget.

  • @PizzzzzzaPie1018
    @PizzzzzzaPie1018 24 дня назад

    Thank you so much for this video! Worked perfectly but my question is (and I didn't see it addressed below), isn't what's causing the pop-ups a virus in and of itself? I did a scan and I didn't find anything but I was trying to figure out how this BS scam works. I know that I accidentally hit a bad website but still wanted to understand the process. In any case, thank you for the very simple fix and straightforward video.

And I’m trying to protect my other Chromebook as well since that one was a replacement for the one I used to have prior to my mother passing away in April of 2022. Because I got a cracked screen and trying to protect that Chromebook and prevent myself from malicious websites on both of my Chromebooks as well as my Windows laptop. Thank you so much.
