    Stop McAfee notifications


    My daughters ultrabook has Windows 10 on it.
    She does not have McAfee installed.
    Yet recently she started getting lots of notifications from McAfee, about 5 or 6 a minute.
    She temporarily solved the problem by just turning off notifications, but I am hoping to fix the problem so she can turn notifications back on so she doesn't miss emails etc.
    A search of her system shows no McAfee product installed.
    How can I find what is causing these notifications and uninstall it?
    Very frustrating!

    Hello @3DPiper,

    I don't know if this will help you, but below is a thread from a week ago, that you might find interesting.

    Good luck to you.

    In that thread Porthos' post was right on the money:

    "It sounds like an issue with the push notifications feature in Chromium based browsers (which includes MS Edge). Please see if the instructions in this Malwarebytes Labs article help or not."
