After new update, a multiple popups for Mcafee & Mozilla keep appearing over & over and I can't get rid of them

When the new update arrived yesterday, I started getting multiple popups from McAfee & Mozilla. Three stay on the screen at once, and when I X one, another appears instantly. This appears to be a scam trojan, but 3 different excellent anti-virus programs have not found anything. This never happened until the latest update. What do you know about this? I don't want to uninstall & start over, but what other suggestion do you have? p.s Usually when I right click on one of them, it takes me to a McAfee ad. I just clicked on one that gave me the option to turn off notifications. That seemed to stop it, at least for now. Am I the only one with this problem? [redacted email from community support forum]

Perhaps these are Web Push Notifications from site(s) you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information some may send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan/antivirus alerts etc. You can revoke the sites from sending you notifications.
