Only when I have Firefox open on my Mac mini using Golden Gate (effective today) and the previous Mac OS version, do I have McAfee warnings (& subscription requests) pop up approximately every 90 seconds. I was able to get a photograph before one disappeared tonight. I also selected the option to disable notifications from that particular sender. (I took photos of at least 3 more pop-ups to include with this question. Please see below.)
Now, I still receive these warning pop-ups with MUCH LESS frequency. I tried uninstalling Firefox and getting a fresh download from Mozilla.org. (I deleted any old download(s) prior to installing the latest version downloaded tonight.) The pop-ups began again as soon as I opened the freshly installed new version of Firefox.
I have 2 other web browsers installed on my computer and these pop-ups do not occur when I use them. Firefox has been my go-to browser for years and I would prefer to keep using it.
1. How do I disable these pop-ups once and for all? (Please note that I have attached 4 samples showing different "senders". So far, the one thing the senders have in common is they all end in ".co.in", originating in India as I am sure you know.
2. Do you have any idea what allowed these pop-ups to "infect" my Firefox - even the freshly installed version?
3. Is there a record of pop-ups saved to Firefox? AKA - what happens to the pop-ups when they disappear before I can click to disable notifications from said sender(s)?
4. Have you had many other people contact you about this issue?
Please reply as soon as possible. I would really appreciate the help.
