Please Turn Off Pop Up Advertising

[griffosan]

Starting a new thread as the previous issue I posted has not been resolved.

Please turn off the intrusive advertising in the AntiVirus product.

This is full price, paid software. Getting blasted by nag screens that must be dismissed from my desktop is most unwelcome.

Kindly ensure there is no unwanted web extensions installed on your browsers. Also please try the following steps

Thanks for the reply.

The pop up ads are coming from the McAfee Anti Virus Plus product I have installed on 2 computers. Note the McAfee logo in the screen cap I posted.

The ads appear about 5 minutes after booting up with no other programs open. The ads must be actively dismissed to remove them from the desktop, very annoying.

I have turned off all McAfee informational alerts under general settings, the ads still appear. They seem to come in waves. Some days, nothing, then several days of ads at every boot up.

Pop up ads are back today, see the screenshot attached below.

The ads are coming from the McAfee Anti Virus Plus product, this one popped up about 3 minutes after boot up with no other programs open.

 I have all informational alerts turned off under general settings.

Please provide a means to turn off these unwanted advertisements in your full price software.

This is like the incessant nag screens in old school free shareware.... I expected better from McAfee.

Another unwanted advertising pop up.

Please turn these off.

Most annoying, I expect better from full price software.

Another day, another pop up that disrupts workflow and has to be dismissed.

Please provide a means to turn off these disruptive advertisements.
