That's a very good idea. I'm curious about that too, and I think others are as well.

Almost everyday i have a popup with McAfee Total , i don't know if its possible to kill these
Weird, can not check for you now, since i switched to Trend.Almost everyday i have a popup with McAfee Total , i don't know if its possible to kill these
What are the pop-ups about? I haven't had any yet? Not denying you do though!
Sometimes about your registry needs to be fixed or do a smartscan, use vpn now , etc . . . upselling popups.
hi what i mean is the protection that protects from ransomeware how it works
It works by backing up files before they are modified by dodgy processes. After ransomware is remediated, the original files are restored.
Are you sure this is really a pop up from McAfee ? I never seen this, i know about the fake pop-ups.
I haven’t seen a single pop-up… most likely fake.
Over 9 weeks now & no popups, get emails as said but thats all.
They are not fake, when i click on it the main UI opens.
Then the question is, why are you the only one here who gets these ? Can you make a screen recording and show us ?
Some of these may be related to McAfee scheduled tasks, like tracker remover and so on. Although these tasks foe me did not generate pop up windows. McAfee is on the quiet side.
The only types of notifications I saw:
Malware caught on download: we caught a threat either before or after it was downloaded.
Script detection: we blocked a malicious script before it could run.
Executable detection: we blocked a malicious app before it could run.
Fileless malware detected by analysis of LOLBin relationships and command lines (Real Protect Fileless): something tried to hijack one of your apps. Don’t worry, we took care of it.
I did not see any other notifications. I am still using McAfee.

Same like me, i use Total Protection and McAfee is pretty quiet.
If it doesn’t detect malware you won’t even know it’s there. I am busy working on Orion, however, I am planning a McAfee vs Trend Micro test.
About the pop-ups , if you havent enable automatic rebilling it will notify you about this + some other messages.
I dont have automatic billing enabled, i use a serial number bought with another company, not McAfee.
I never encounter any pop ups. I think @Trident has the same, no pop ups.
maybe it country specific?
