Are those popups appearing in the upper right corner of your Display?


Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.


  • Go to Safari's Preferences... menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove everything there.


For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Don't allow websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.

Hi there,


Make sure there’s not McAfee installed on your MacBook:

-> Search for McAfee app on your Mac, and uninstall it if necessary: Uninstall apps on your Mac - Apple Support

-> Check out the McAfee support article: https://www.mcafee.com/support/?articleId=TS101226&page=shell&shell=article-view
