I fixed it by clicking on the 3 dots on the "pop-up" and options came up to turn off all notifications in Microsoft Edge, when I did that the "pop-up's" stopped. I have changed all the relevant settings to stop Pop Ups but still hourly receive McAfee pop ups like this.

To disable the notifications:. Similar thing happened on my wife's computer. One point I will add to the above: website popup notifications are often made to look like legitimate Windows notifications and hence it is hard to tell if it is real one or not. For Edge pop-up notifications, EACH of them contained the name of the website under the notification which helped me identify them as such. All "scary" notifications contained the same website name. When you get into this state or you are reading this because you "googled it", the key is not to interact with the notification do not click on "remove virus" or whatever it might say and understand where it might be coming from.
Then going into the Edge settings and seeing that you may have a recent website added with "allow notifications" on it. If you get notifications just after restarting the computer with no browsers running or anything else explicitly started, you may have some of the bloatware installed often comes with the new computer itself and these might be legit notifications.
You may find there some notification programs that bring reminders to install additional software. Disabling them will stop notifications. Couple of thoughts: 1. Cheers, Drew.
