      You must be referring to a different iteration of the scam than the one I saw. I'm sorry I can't be of more help with my free videos.

      what I do in the meantime is to 'open a program', do something on it that needs to be 'saved to keep the changes", hit 'restart' on your computer and when the computer returns and asks you to 'save' the program hit 'cancel' the pop up will be gone

    I saw this today and I was shocked... Uninstalled McAfee, ExpressVPN and the Web Advisor, and all was okay. No virus detected on the system, but the notebook was sold with this software pre-installed. That's crazy!

      You must be referencing a different kind of pop-up than the one I saw. There have been possibly hundreds of McAfee scams in the last 30 years. Sorry my 6-minute video doesn't cover all of them.

      @@jordanliles Then remove the removal part in your title, that's what's throwing us off and making us not so happy in the process.

    I can’t believe I almost fell for this, I was getting these notifications EVEN when I had my free trial on, and the real mcafee didn’t find ANY viruses whatsoever.

    I understand this but if u have already installed it. How do you remove it? And does the software itself give any viruses or malware?

    Missing the removal part of the title. Might want to change it.
    We are perfectly aware it's a scam. We just want it gone.
