Mcaffee Annoying Pop Up

[bednobs]

i keep getting a very annoying pop up telling me my device isnt fully protected as my subscriptio has run out. How can i make it go away for good? Windows 8

Keep deleting Beds, they will soon give up.

The obvious answer would seem to be "Pay your subscription!"

Alternatively, download the MCPR tool and run it to get rid of all traces of McAfee on your computer:
https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/articleview
and then install Avast instead:
https://www.avast.com/en-gb/index

(The foregoing assumes that you've actually got McAfee security software on your computer in the first place. If not, you've acquired some malware. Let us know if that applies).

its the first one chris - i had it but dont want it anymore. ive been deleting for ver a year - still not given up TWR

Just go to systems and uninstall it.

If you only used the normal 'uninstall' route to get rid of McAfee (i.e. by going via your list of installed programs) there will still be some components of it left. (That's true of all antivirus programs. They're designed so that the viruses they're trying to block can't simply uninstall them). You need to run the MCPR tool to finish the job off; you should then find that the pop-ups become a thing of the past.

W8, and W10 also now, have an uninstall tool that worked fine for me Buen. I wouldn't have Mcaffee, Norton, AVG or any of the other third party bolt on scammers anywhere a unit of mine.

You have been running the AV on old databases for a year, and now want to remove the AV ?

In your shoes I'd check you have something running after you uninstall.
