[QUOTE="newbutter, post: 1931323, member: 418374"] That McAfee thing can be really nasty and difficult to get rid of once it somehow gets installed onto the device. So, I would recommend to be as careful with it as possible. I've got bad experience with it across various devices I've used through years. The first thing I would do is to heck your installed applications and delete anything you don't recognize. Also, look at your browser extensions and remove anything suspicious. Also, consider using a trusted anti-malware tool like Malwarebytes to scan your computer. It's free and pretty effective. Actually, I'd recommend to do this every 6 months or so just to be there's nothing hostile in the system. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
