Whenever I run Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, I get a series of virus related notifications associated with the above web site. These include McAfee sub renewal requests, Norton sub renewal requests, and infection warnings.
I have run a McAfee quick scan and Windows sfc, and rebooted, but the problem remains.
Help please!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I had tried the McAfee "remove trackers" feature, but tried again to make sure and the problem remained.
However as you identified the problem as cookie related, I have removed the offending cookie "manually", and blocked further cookies from that site, and all appears to be OK now. Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for quick response.
The problem does not appear to be related to any particular site, though I first noticed it with www.bbc.co.uk. Screenshot of notification window attached - it includes as link to a news item on the BBC site which I had not seen earlier.
Oops - attachment seems to have been lost - trying again!
Tried again!
Have just completed a full scan with McAfee - no problems reported.
Hi @EMJB
This is just a browser notifications or fake alerts that come from browsers. Please clear the cookies and cache from all browsers using tracker remover and check if the issue persists.
