yes. how can I stop?
Follow the steps above. Do you see the links from the previous comment?
Yes. Mostly when I am in Publishers Clealing House games. These pop-up from McAfee are so annoying.
How do I get rid of them for good?
Check the previous comment from Flexx. He posted some useful links there.
Where are the steps from a previous comment? I don't see either.
Have a look at these links:
Microsoft’s guidance is to run one real‑time antimalware provider at a time. Multiple real‑time AV engines can conflict, cause performance issues, and miss detections due to file‑locking or race conditions. You can keep additional tools for on‑demand scanning (manual scans only), but avoid having two products both doing real‑time protection.
I went to the Bitdefender website Chat and asked: Why can't my Bitdefender antivirus software prevent the continuous McAfee pop ups from recurring? I'm using Total Security, Windows, and primarily use Chrome. Per the AI Helper: The recurring McAfee pop-ups are likely caused by pre-installed McAfee software, browser extensions, or adware rather than Bitdefender itself. To resolve this: 1. Check your Windows Programs list for any McAfee software and uninstall it if found. 2. In Chrome, go to Extensions and disable or remove any McAfee-related extensions. 3. Clear your browser cache and cookies to remove any lingering adware. They created a ticket number for me to use if problem continues.
