Hello,

Try the following steps:

1. Clear and reset your browser. Clearing stored data and resetting your browser might be enough to get rid of the fake McAfee virus pop-ups.
2. Remove any suspicious extensions or apps manually.
3. Run an antivirus scan to make sure everything is OK
4. Enable an ad blocker. I recommend Ublock Origin to block ads, and also recommend using the Bitdefender Anti tracker extension, to stop tracking cookies.

To sum it up, a browser reset and removing unwanted extensions from it should be enough as these notifications and pop-ups are browser related, probably a browser hijacker or unwanted extension.

Regards,

Alex
