I have the annoying "turn on your McAfee" pop up. Help

I have the annoying "turn on your McAfee" pop up which appears every 30 seconds or so. It drives me crazy. I have a new MacBook Pro 14" and never downloaded anything. Help Is there anyone that can tell me step by step how to get rid of it? Thanks

How to remove McAfee pop-ups? I'm getting McAfee pop-ups in the upper right side of my Mac. I've searched and researched. I've followed all the steps on the Apple support page. I've checked Applications, Downloads, Security and Safari to no avail. It reads, "Turn on your Antivirus. Click to run McAfee. or Your McAfee software expired. Click to renew." The message changes. I have a new MacBook with an M2 running on Ventura. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Please?? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

McAfree pop ups on Macbook Air I keep getting system pop ups to say that McAfree is about to expire, there are 5 viruses on my MacBook, PC is at risk etc. I don't have McAfree and I know this can be a scam - so I have bought the AntiVirus One app to check my MacBook and hoped this would remove the pop ups too.There are no virus or anything on my device and I also have an Ad blocker on my browsers, yet not matter what I do I still have this pop up every 10 or so minutes. it then stays on my control panel. I have cleared cache and cookies from all browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox), I have updated the MacBook, and have searched apps/files for any McAfree items. Please can someone help me get to the bottom of this, hopefully without having to reset my whole computer.
