I am having these same popup issues.  If no resolution is presented by McAfee support, then I am also going to a different product.  Also, unable to open support link in Microsoft Edge had to use Chrome browser.

In the past, McAfee used to be a go-to-product but now I am giving it second thoughts about using it.

No, it is not solved. There is no option there to turn it off. Turning off Information alerts completely also doesn't help. I keep getting it.

I called mcaffee support and was told to remove the software. Run a removal tool and reinstall.

After that there were even less options under Information alerts.

So, how do | get rid of th eanoying popup.

As stated by multiple other users, this solution no longer works--McAfee no longer gives the option to disable notifications in Windows settings, or on the popup windows themselves.

The link from McAfee's own notification settings also has the same outdated incorrect information:

https://www.mcafee.com/support/?page=shell&shell=article-view&articleId=TS103138&utm_source=contextu...

The inability to disable these obnoxious marketing popups and lack of honest support is making me consider not using McAfee anymore.
