I often see pop-ups on my computer claiming to be from McAfee, but I'm not sure if they are genuine. How can I verify if a McAfee pop-up is legitimate or a fake one trying to scam me? How do I know if a McAfee pop-up is real?

Be aware that if your browser suddenly displays a McAfee critical virus alert, there's a strong possibility that it's a scam.

This alert is unlikely to be an authentic message from McAfee, as the company typically wouldn't notify users of such issues through their browsers.

If you haven't installed McAfee on your computer, you can confidently dismiss the alert as a pop-up scam.
