Beware of this McAfee Google Chrome pop-up scam
Fox News
A McAfee antivirus pop-up that appears on your computer screen is a scam using fear and panic to make you act quickly and surrender personal information.
"I am attempting to rid my new computer of a pesky McAfee Google Chrome Ad that keeps telling me I am infected with trojan viruses and I have an expired McAfee account with my new computer. I do not have their coverage. Per all my virus coverage, I show no infection; however, this menace keeps popping up even stating in full screen I shall lose my Windows 10 license and wipe my computer clean, etc. I shut my computer down completely... This pest has to go, and I am ready to send this pest to its graveyard - ashes baby!"
