Unending McAfee Popup

Hi. I'm a McAfee customer and have been for a few years now, I have it installed on my Lenovo Yoga. I got a popup message a couple days ago on my computer that says "We just stopped a virus. No action needed. Wondering where it came from? ..." and on and on. I can tell you word for word what it says because it will not go away. Every time I close the pop up, it reappears about 2 seconds later. I am not exaggerating. This takes up a good chunk of screen space on my computer. it is relatively impossible to get anything done with this on my screen. If I click "see details" the details of the detected virus come up, the pop up goes away, and then comes back again in 2 seconds. Please how do I make this stop. I need this gone. It is absolutely driving me crazy to have to minimize every other application to make it small enough so this popup doesnt cover up half the page. Please help.

Hi again, this popup occurs literally anytime, no matter if there is any browser open or not. I attached a screenshot.
