Thank you so much Laurence! You save my laptop from being thrown violently at my wall. Those notifications were relentless and they have now disappeared. LEGEND!
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! :)
Dear sweet baby Jesus, you saved my bacon brother. I had mcafee popups over everything else on my screen. I'm glad you talked me through it because I couldn't even see part of what you were doing. Thank you thank you thank you. you are a life saver!
Omg....my wife click on one of those emails, what a pain. Thanks to your video, this analog man, trapped in the digital world, removed it inside of a minute. May space and time bend for your dreams and wishes.
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!!!
Thank you so much for this! I accidentally got these while trying to find a textbook for college and it's been incessant for days! I appreciate your simple and easy to follow instructions.
I am very grateful! Neither Norton Antivirus or Malwarebytes were getting rid of this pop up and my machine was virtually unusable. This simple fix stopped the issue immediately. Thank you!
Thank you, these pop-ups were driving me mad and thought I'd never get rid of them. I almost resorted to a complete reinstall of Windows until I did a RUclips search and found this tutorial. You were right. it took just a few minutes and my headaches were gone. Thanks again.
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. I accidentally got one of these pop ups while trying to download some important files, and I have spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I watched your video and the problem was solved in less than 2 minutes.
Thanks so much for providing this video Laurence, my poor daughter was freaking out about having allowed a virus to infect her laptop, and now I (an IT illiterate mom) look like an IT legend for fixing it 🤗
Brilliant. very greatfull indeed. Have not got Norton Installed, so I knew that these ads were fake. Ads were appearing every 30 seconds or so, and very annoying, as couldn't get away from them. Clear and easy advice.
I NEVER leave comments on videos but was so pleased with how simple and effective your explanation was I felt compelled to share kudos. Thank you for this, very well done!
Thanks a lot. These pop-ups have been driving me mad and I had no idea how to remove them. I'm not the least bit techy but your solutions was so easy to follow. Thanks again.
This post here was EXACTLY what I needed to correct those annoying pesky little "freak out" messages.. Usually I would've reformatted, but this truly worked!!! Stoked!!
Thank you so much. Finally I am get rid off these non sense Mcafee virus notification since few days although I do not have installed Mcafee software. Thank you again.
It worked! I even had Microsoft on my computer trying to figure it out and they couldn’t. They kept trying to get Mcafee itself to stop sending me notifications. And I kept telling them it wasn’t actually Mcafee. Thanks for info! Really appreciate it. I thought I had a virus.
THANK YOU. i have a different antivirus so i knew they were fake, but they kept popping up. they said that i had 5 viruses so i scanned my pc on my other antivirus software and i deleted them. the popups were still showing so i searched this up. you are a lifesaver
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!
Thank you!! I am sick of EVERYONE'S pop ups!! But I kept wondering why I was getting notifications from McAfee and Norton when I don't have it or claims that my credit card was denied when McAfee tried to update, etc. And sure enough, in the notifications was the culprit.
Thank you so much! My laptop screen actually turned black at one stage. 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 👍
OMG!! SIR!!!!!! Thank you so so so so so much! I thought this video was going to be a click bait and explain nothing helpful. There are so many “tutorial” videos like that!! But not this one. I was legit scared I got a virus. Whew! God bless you for sharing this information ❤️.
Thank you so much for explaining this so easily. I was having a hard time even finding out if the pop up was real or not and this helped a lot since I could find the website it was coming from.
I thank God that I found this. Much love to you, because I think this worked. I paused the video and went through and found two sites that kept opening (one seemed to be a fake Yahoo, and I got notification after notification. I have no idea who you are, but I just subbed. I will have this in my YT history for later if I forget.
Thank you so much! This has been happening to me for the past 2 days and it was really bothering me. I did exactly what you said to do and it stopped. Thank you again!
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.
OMG!!!! Thank you so much!!! this computer tech company was trying to charge me $200 to remove these pop up and I did it watching your video. Is it okay to say I Love You🥰
Very happy to add my thanks to the many other people who have found your video so helpful. Clear and concise and totally successful in getting rid of a very annoying problem.
Thank you bro, I literally clicked on some link from a trusted youtuber with 132k subs and it literally gave me these notifications when I clicked the link after I pressed allow
It helped! Thank you so much! You are a godsend! I have two Chromebooks and one of them got the fake warning and I panicked and I fixed it! 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.
When you click on notifications, there is an option to turn off all website notifications, turn that on, and nothing will be able to pop up on your screen :)
There is not an option to turn off all notifications.. There are no websites listed which are allowed to send notifications.. I simply cleared my browser and that stopped it. I do not have McAfee at all..yes it's a scam virus

Thank you so much. This is short and simple. It has successfully helped me to remove these fake disturbing notifications.
You're a life saver. I was able to follow this for Microsoft Edge and delete two of these ads.
Thank you so much! I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates a keep-it-short-and-simple type video on how to deactivate these! Take care!

When you click on notifications, there is an option to turn off all website notifications, turn that on, and nothing will be able to pop up on your screen :)
@@ellasaxby sorted thank you !!!
There is not an option to turn off all notifications.. There are no websites listed which are allowed to send notifications..
