Getting McAfee Virus Notifications:

A. Provide a Screenshot:

If these are pop up messages, the please provide a screenshot of them. Go Here: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support. IMPORTANT: Blank hot personal info (ie names) by covering it with red-colored rectangles and such.

B. Create an eMail Filter:

If this is an eMail, then filter it out by the sender. Perhaps including keywords. Contact your eMail carrier about how to do so.

Troubleshooting McAfee:

Uninstall McAfee, and you wouldn't have this problem. So, uninstall it, and then restart after the install. Get the installer from McAfee, and none other, as a way to avoid scams. If you were to just drag it to the trash, then files (i.e. shortcuts and caches) would be laying about your Mac. Security Software just gets in the way on an Apple device, and this is a pure example of how and why.

Opening the email likely got the malware installed. Many times all you have to do is simply click something that seems so safe. Never attempt to open anything from an unknown sender or from a known sender that just doesn't seem like such a email or file would come from them.
