OT: Sometimes when I look at some threads, the McAfee Virus page pops up. Happen to anyone else?

Unless you have McAfee installed, it's a fake. Haven't experienced it on this site, but on another.
Don't hit the links in the popup unless you enjoy grief.

It literally just happened before I got to this post. Grim is 100% right! Don't open!
On my I phone when I go into a thread I now get a pop up lower right corner that’s tough to dodge . That’s new for me . If you try and close the ad it opens it. Don’t have that happening on any other sites thst I recall . Pop ups are triggered really easy lately .
They appear to be "push notifications." Ordinarily a website asks the user to allow these, but I never have so I don't know how I got them.
When they appear on your computer, they're called "web push notifications." You should be able to eliminate them entirely. Each browser has it's own procedure which you can look up.
On your phone, they're called "app push notifications." Gotta believe the phone OS has a means to kill them.
Its happened in the past for me but probably not the last month or so. For me it started the day of the Umass game.
I got rid of them by going to Safari settings, Notifications and then delete all the ones for McAfee and then doing same things for the pop up windows (right below the Notifications). that worked for me.
My son 1 recently earned a software masters at usc so I’ll continue to comment thx
