Unneeded pop up in the lower right of the screen

Every few days a McAfee pop-up appears in the lower right of the screen with some message about livesafe. For example, today it is a safety feature reminder. However, most of the pop-up is hidden off the screen on the right, so I cannot read all the pop-up or remove it. I need to restart my computer for the pop-up to disappear. How can I stop these unwanted pop-ups? And how can I remove them when they appear without having to restart my computer? Thanks.

Hi @Venkat_YM 

Thanks for the suggestion.

The information alerts box is unchecked and has been unchecked for some time. That has not stopped the pop-ups. I cannot find any setting that specifically says no pop-ups.
