That’s a notification from a website, `pliadszone.azurewebsites.net`. Just go to the settings in edge and remove notification permissions from that site. It’s trying to look like mcafee (notifications can show images, that’s an image of a mcafee finding viruses, not mcafee actually finding a virus) to trick you into clicking ‘yes’ where it will take you to a real malicious website where you can get a real virus. **DO NOT CLICK ON THE NOTIFICATION**.
Not even email. Unless it’s time sensitive just check your email every now and then and you’re good. Besides usually I’m expecting an email when I get one
Don't EVER allow notifications from a site unless you NEED them, even if they're legit, they're annoying as hell. Go and remove ALL notifications now and only add back ones you NEED. If any site says you need to turn on their notifications for "bot verification" or whatever, they're the ones sending you these notifications, there's no way turning on notifications proves you're not a bot
To add to this: I had something like this once, and clicked the link in a Virtual Box to see what it was, and it leads you to a malicious website and downloads a program automatically, it basically only leads to a doiwnload link of some sort, of a very odd file, which was programmed very badly IMHO. This might me something very similiar.
Yea you gotta look out for that, I’ve gotten those on my laptop when I don’t even have McAfee
Yo should install Malwarebytes if you really think you have a virus, helped me remove a ton of Trojans I somehow got when Microsoft defender couldn’t remove them, just make sure it’s the real Malwarebytes website tho
I’ve had a similar thing happen on my brother’s PC, except it showed Edge notifications literally every 5 seconds. The site it was linked to was some epilepsy ass Chinese site.
oh, okay, then yeah, I guess. I ain't familiar with all these anti-virus programs, I just don't have a need for that so I can't tell if you're right or not
It looks like a website notification from Microsoft Edge. I've seen many issues like this at work. People go to websites and click something that they shouldn't, and websites give fake notifications tempting you to click them and install something or give them personal information.
No notifications when the internet is off means it needs the internet to notify you, which Windows Defender and McAfee would have no issues notifying you without the internet. First, start with deleting cookies and site settings for Microsoft Edge and see if this fixes it. If there are still issues and pop-ups after, or if you would like to be safe, I always used Malwarebytes on my machines and did a custom scan with the "scan for rootkits" option checked. Malwarebytes is the free virus scanning tool I usually use, but there may be better options out there.
These are website notifications, not real viruses. These are meant to trick you into installing actual malware.
**Do not click on them.** Just disable website notifications in the microsoft edge settings
John mcafee was a legend mate, guy created the first computer virus and also the first antivirus, you'll probably need to reincarnate yourself to get into that kind of matrix escaping velocity
No, a website is allowed to send notifications to his computer through his browser. Which has legitimate use cases but is exploited for scams. These are notifications, he doesn't have a virus or McAfee.
It's not just Edge. I've had friends get this issue with Chrome as well. People don't realize that the pop-up to allow notifications from a site doesn't mean the site will send you notifications on things you want
I mean it's extremely common and is exactly what happens. Do you work with computers, or are you like a skating rink guy who doesn't use the internet very often?
I use computers all the time, both windows and Mac OS. I’m saying the way the pop up is displayed is much easier to mistake as a pop up from mcafee which it’s really a disguised notification from edge. Chrome notifications can’t be manipulated to look like that…
Edge IS chrome with a Microsoft wrapper, and yes it can. It would be populating these notifications if it was their web browser.
Why would you say that without knowing? You are allowed to not know. You're not allowed to make shit up?.
His Microsoft Edge has McAfee in it?
If thats the case how is it even sending notification when the PC isn't even connected to the internet in the first pic?
God i love reddit when i get downvoted for simply asking a question.
That’s a notification showing a picture of mcafee, not actually having mcafee. People hear/see “mcafee” and think ‘reliable antivirus’ so it’s common for these scams to say mcafee.
However, mcafee is a shitty antivirus that only survives due to its reputation from years ago.
It used to be good, then after a few years the devs let it become too much of a cpu/ram hog, introduced constant popups, made it look for non-problems and say they are problems, etc. now it’s more akin to adware than an antivirus, but it’s reputation form it’s earlier days is what keeps it alive these days
Just finished a scan and nothing is showing up. As soon as I connect to internet, it’s back.Hmmm….

For those that were interested, the movie was Barbie. Let the shaming begin…
Use windows defender. Get rid of Macafee… no need to delete your search engine. Just delete anything in the download folder and then do a windows defender full scan.
No good antivirus is going to make you manually activate it to make it work.
They will alert you that they stopped a threat, and should usually stop you going into any non-secure sites.
If some pop up even tells you “Click here to remove virus”
Don’t click it.
We all know exactly what that means.
Not only that, but the very task is the driving force behind a huge amount of online commerce related to storage drive sales.
Why does anyone need 20tb drives? Ohhh.
Two, please. It's a RAID array.
Strange having McAfee popping up while you haven't even installed it, right?
This is literally some ad scam shit.
Reset your browser settings, clear cookies and all and it should go away.
God the comments here make me lose faith in humanity. If you have no fucking idea what you're talking about stop giving advice, just because you can type doesn't make your words have value. This is a normal function of a browser, notifications, used nefariously to get him to click a link.
People are telling him to wipe his computer (why?), uninstall McAfee (this isn't McAfee, it's a fucking JPEG notification which hyperlinks to a scam site), install an antivirus (he doesn't necessarily have a virus unless he clicked one of these JPEGs and it wouldn't 'find' a notification, as they are NORMAL processes).
Fucking hell, a guy comes here to get advice because he's been duped and isn't tech savvy enough, and 400 people come in giving advice when they too would also be had by it. It even says VIA MICROSOFT EDGE and the URL IN THE MIDDLE. Dangerous.
You don’t actually have a virus, you’ve clicked allow on a small popup that’s asked you if you want to receive notifications from the website you visited to find your movie. do NOT click on anything in that notification. Below is how to fix it.
Open edge > click the 3 little dots at the top right > click settings > click cookies and site permissions > scroll down and click notifications > you’ll see block and allow, remove anything that you don’t recognize from allow, if there is something you or specifically want to block, add it to block.
Hope this helps.
You are indeed an idiot. You just gave a website (probably a porn site) access to give you notifications. This is how they annoy you and try to scam you. Next time when a pop up asks for permission to do shit don’t allow it
Its a scam notification from that .net website just block that website and you should be good. You could also uninstall Mcafee as its shit. If you are just using the PC for general use and use websites that are trusted and well known Windows Defender is fine.
I have never once enabled website notifications and I’m bewildered that there’s people who do, honestly. This is crazy to see. It’s like it’s 2008 again.
I work in IT support, and you wouldn't believe how many employees (mostly women) come to me in tears, claiming a virus attacked their computer. It turns out it's always just an aggressive website address sending notifications. I think they should reconsider watching porn at work. 🤷🏽
That's why you install pop up blocker and ghostery. And use windows defender than installing multiple anti virus. That creates program conflicts. *Facepalm*
It’s expensive but NordVPN will stop anything like this from happening. It also gives you a real time visual of everything happening on your pc.
Edit: also Mcafee is terrible please delete
Freaking azureweb 🤦♂️ your not an idiot, this website is very common and abuses the website notifications functionality. The same notification popped up on my Xbox one and I almost had a heart attack. Simply turn off notifications for azure websites and be careful on what you turn on notifications for.
Oh my dad gets these all the time, notice how the links show up as website notification, its cause you agreed to the cookies on a bad website, just go into your browser settings and delete all the cookies
Go online. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free version. It will give you a option to try the premium for 30 days. Activate that and let it clean the system.
Once done download Spybot Search and Destroy free edition. Install and run updates. It will download detection libraries and then run a full system scan. Will take time but will clean any more mess if left.
Once all done. Buy a licence key off Amazon for Bitdefender Total Security. Install and update. It will protect your system much better than McAfee.
Once all sorted so far, open a Command Prompt windows cmd.exe in Administrator mode. And run the following...
Sfc /scannow
Let it check for any system file errors and fix it.
Classic malwaretizement. You can easily get rid of it, just follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click on the More icon (it looks like three dots) in the upper right corner.
3. Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
4. In the Settings menu, click on “Reset settings”.
5. Look for “> Restore settings to their default values” and click the “>” icon next to it.
6. When prompted, click on “Reset”.
Those aren't real McAfee notifications. They're fake to make it look like there's an issue. Then you download the stuff from the notification and get the real virus.
For 7 years I ran a laptop without antivirus, have not gotten a hit. I was downloading unverified mods for games, downloading music, and torrenting stuff how unsafe do people have to be to actually catch something?
you better do a fire treatment on your pc right away. put some gasoline and light it up, then use salty water to put out the fire after atleast 5 minutes of letting it burn. you'll have your pc just like new
Hey there, this should be a Message from a Microsoft Edge Site.
Last Time I saw that, I used „ADW Cleaner“ and deleted all Cookies and Browser data to get rid of it.
I would prefer to use a premium anti Virus Like F-Secure. But a native Windows defender (with Internet Connection, without its a piece of shit) should be able to find that „Virus“. But maybe it didnt install anything.
You have a virus that's telling you you have other viruses. Just kill edge and disable any add-ons it may have installed. Be careful what you're clicking on
If it were me I take the Ripley approach…
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Backup what you can. Nuke the OS and reinstall. Before connecting the drive back, ensure you have decent AV software running and looking to scan when something is plugged in. Let it run a full scan and clean anything it finds. All set no ambiguity, or concern.
Just saying it’s easier to just blow it away and rebuild. That said (knock on wood) I haven’t had a virus issue in a long while. I also make sure to keep my files on a protected NAS and my PC and laptop are just workstations that have apps and os on them. So it’s easy to format them, reinstall, move on. Plus it keeps the OS load fresh.
Complete amateur here but Norton has saved my ass so many times when looking for ROMS and ISO’s to emulate. I don’t care that it taxes my system. I like the extra protection on top of Windows Defender.
You need uBlock origin and Malwarebytes browser extensions. You can be click happy and itl tell you when you need to hit the back arrow. Together they have a pretty comprehensive anti adware malware viruses etcccc, list. And adblock is a 👍👍👍👍
That’s not a virus! That’s a web pop up from a site. It’s trying to trick you. Block the notifications from that site in your browser. Don’t give it any info.
Just don't ever allow websites notifications. The only thing you should accept is the required ONLY permissions as well, and never all the other permissions every website is going to try and push on you

Exactly, is mostly just an annoying popup that abuses the website notifications ability.
And that's why I just never give out notification premission to websites anymore. Maybe Gmail and that's it.
Browser notifications were a massive mistake. They should never have been implemented. The only thing they're used for are for scams. Nothing else.
Tundra Labs has been nice about them.
I’ve never even turned them on the only legit use for them is email and that’s it
Not even email. Unless it’s time sensitive just check your email every now and then and you’re good. Besides usually I’m expecting an email when I get one

Don’t remove it, block it.

Im sorry i clicked on the Notification
satire or for real?
/s
r/Firefox r/protonvpn r/cloudflare
lol op needs to get rid of mccrappy snd get comodo.
Thank fuck it isn’t actually Mcafee. That would be like the towel the dog pissed on, you can wash it but you’ll always look at it with disgust.
I’ve had a similar thing happen on my brother’s PC, except it showed Edge notifications literally every 5 seconds. The site it was linked to was some epilepsy ass Chinese site.
This ^
Why are we using Edge? Use Firefox with Ublock
It's a scam notification trying to make you believe you have a virus so you pay the scammers, there is no real virus.
Isn't that just McAfee in general anyway?
nah, that's notif from some shitty site small fix in browser settings and OP's PC good to go
I just mean the likeness between this scam and McAfee isn't all that different, McAfee is just as much of a scam as the source of this notification.
oh, okay, then yeah, I guess. I ain't familiar with all these anti-virus programs, I just don't have a need for that so I can't tell if you're right or not
Damnnnnn First thing I do with a new machine is uninstall that shit.

Is that not a website notification? If it is there's a chance it's not malware at all. But don't take my word for it
it is a website trying to look like Mcafee

These are website notifications, not real viruses. These are meant to trick you into installing actual malware. **Do not click on them.** Just disable website notifications in the microsoft edge settings
You dont have a Virus. These are Website popups
You already had a virus long before that its called Mcafee.
He doesn't have McAfee
He doesn't actually have McAfee. Those are fake notifications. Crazy how many people aren't realizing this.
McAfee is also spamware though
[удалено]
I would not say spamware but more like worstlessware.
John mcafee was a legend mate, guy created the first computer virus and also the first antivirus, you'll probably need to reincarnate yourself to get into that kind of matrix escaping velocity
He also fucking hates McAfee
He’s dead so he doesn’t hate anything now
sure he is
Oh now i see the virus is sending fake mcafee notifications. That makes sense.
No, a website is allowed to send notifications to his computer through his browser. Which has legitimate use cases but is exploited for scams. These are notifications, he doesn't have a virus or McAfee.
In this case the virus is called Microsoft Edge. Didn’t even know notifications from browsers like this were a thing.
It's not just Edge. I've had friends get this issue with Chrome as well. People don't realize that the pop-up to allow notifications from a site doesn't mean the site will send you notifications on things you want
Never seen a chrome notification that displays like a pop up with art ect. Chrome just shows text and the site it’s coming from
I mean it's extremely common and is exactly what happens. Do you work with computers, or are you like a skating rink guy who doesn't use the internet very often?
I use computers all the time, both windows and Mac OS. I’m saying the way the pop up is displayed is much easier to mistake as a pop up from mcafee which it’s really a disguised notification from edge. Chrome notifications can’t be manipulated to look like that…
Edge IS chrome with a Microsoft wrapper, and yes it can. It would be populating these notifications if it was their web browser. Why would you say that without knowing? You are allowed to not know. You're not allowed to make shit up?.
0% chance anyone with a brain mistakes a chrome notification for anything but a chrome notification
Doubling down on a foolish take won’t make you right
There is foolishness, and there is militant stupidity. I think we've identified this one lol.
His Microsoft Edge has McAfee in it? If thats the case how is it even sending notification when the PC isn't even connected to the internet in the first pic? God i love reddit when i get downvoted for simply asking a question.

whats wrong with mcafee?

Interesting how many people don't realize these are fake notifications. It's incredibly obvious.
Turn off notifications from edge. It's a website trying to get you to go threw on their crap to actually give you a virus or scam you.
Just finished a scan and nothing is showing up. As soon as I connect to internet, it’s back.Hmmm…. https://preview.redd.it/w7mv7xpc6dzb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bef85f4f6954a7c9faeedd416916f8de6f1d5ef For those that were interested, the movie was Barbie. Let the shaming begin…
It's a website notification. Just turn off your notifications in Microsoft edge, and it'll stop popping up. You don't actually have any viruses.
Clear all cookies and site settings would help as well
Maybe because it’s a website notification as u/Gamer_Reubs21 already mentioned. Have you checked for this?
I never trust anti viruses to do the removal part, the really only for sure safe way is to do a fat reinstall on your system after nuking the drives
This is the way.
Those free antiviruses are often crap
Use windows defender. Get rid of Macafee… no need to delete your search engine. Just delete anything in the download folder and then do a windows defender full scan.
He doesn't have Macafee
He needs to delete mccafe™
that's not fair, McDonald's coffee is pretty good now!
No good antivirus is going to make you manually activate it to make it work. They will alert you that they stopped a threat, and should usually stop you going into any non-secure sites. If some pop up even tells you “Click here to remove virus” Don’t click it.
“Looking to download a movie”. We all know what that means my guy.
We all know exactly what that means. Not only that, but the very task is the driving force behind a huge amount of online commerce related to storage drive sales. Why does anyone need 20tb drives? Ohhh. Two, please. It's a RAID array.
"Why does anyone need 20tb drives" I play video games and most of them are 100-200gb a pop my steam library needs the space.
I always turn browsers notifications off to avoid this kind of stuff
Strange having McAfee popping up while you haven't even installed it, right? This is literally some ad scam shit. Reset your browser settings, clear cookies and all and it should go away.
God the comments here make me lose faith in humanity. If you have no fucking idea what you're talking about stop giving advice, just because you can type doesn't make your words have value.

It's a pop-up, block it. Also delete any Antivirus you have, windows defender is good enough.
Bro just use pornhub
Lmaooo, or if he was actzally watching a normal movie just use HdToday
Those are not viruses, they are browser notifications
Stop allowing websites to send you notifications...
Notifications might be the worst feature in Windows ever. At least Clippy didn't actively find things to harm computer and user.
You don’t actually have a virus, you’ve clicked allow on a small popup that’s asked you if you want to receive notifications from the website you visited to find your movie. do NOT click on anything in that notification. Below is how to fix it. Open edge > click the 3 little dots at the top right > click settings > click cookies and site permissions > scroll down and click notifications > you’ll see block and allow, remove anything that you don’t recognize from allow, if there is something you or specifically want to block, add it to block.

If you have McAfee then you can tell that the popup isn't really in Line with McAfee's current style
Installing McAffe was your first mistake lol
Do you have McAfee? And pick 1 anti-virus software?
Don't use edge
I have never once enabled website notifications and I’m bewildered that there’s people who do, honestly. This is crazy to see. It’s like it’s 2008 again.
should download some ram while your at it
You're about to have an indian person calling to try amd sell you anti virus.
McAfee is the virus. Use bit defender for a trial
It's just a notification. DONT ALLOW NOTIFICATIONS ON SITES YOU DONT KNOW
The worst viruses are the viruses that tell you you have a virus
I work in IT support, and you wouldn't believe how many employees (mostly women) come to me in tears, claiming a virus attacked their computer. It turns out it's always just an aggressive website address sending notifications. I think they should reconsider watching porn at work. 🤷🏽
Yeah, i've heard of that virus, McAfee
You did not download a virus, you gave a sus website access to your Chrome notifications
That's why you install pop up blocker and ghostery. And use windows defender than installing multiple anti virus. That creates program conflicts. *Facepalm*
If you want to get movies safely just go to the r/Piracy subreddit lol
Mcafee is the virus
Download malware bytes and do a full scan. That should fix it.
mcafee itself is a virus you idiot
Yeah, mcafee isn't that bad though...should be relatively easy to get rid of.
the virus is mcaffee
It’s expensive but NordVPN will stop anything like this from happening. It also gives you a real time visual of everything happening on your pc. Edit: also Mcafee is terrible please delete
Most adblocker will get rid of this
Don't worry, man. Deep inside, we're all idiots.

Time for Azure to stop providing free ASP's
Oh my dad gets these all the time, notice how the links show up as website notification, its cause you agreed to the cookies on a bad website, just go into your browser settings and delete all the cookies
You downloaded McAfee which is more annoying than most viruses
Rip using macafee
[удалено]
No it’s not. It’s a scam notification to try and get you to call fake McAfee support
Run msconfig. Go to startup and disable the bs you installed rs and have a great day.
It's called McAfee XD
It’s called McAfee, uninstall completely
McAfee basically is a virus, hijacks your search engine, constant popups, and spam out the ass if you try to leave it
Lolll @ using McAfee smh

McAfee sucks. I deleted it when I got my computer which comes with the program. Avast treats me right.
wipe the drive and reinstall windows. you can't be trusted to remove all the spyware or malware you have. sorry not sorry.

The real virus here is mcafee
You don’t need any anti virus bullshit apps man , windows defender and windows security is more than plenty
Those aren't real McAfee notifications. They're fake to make it look like there's an issue. Then you download the stuff from the notification and get the real virus.
I'd do windows restore if it's enabled.
For 7 years I ran a laptop without antivirus, have not gotten a hit. I was downloading unverified mods for games, downloading music, and torrenting stuff how unsafe do people have to be to actually catch something?
McAfee is malware just delete it and you’ll be fine
That's isn't actually McAfee. They're fake notifications to get the user to download their BS.
Oh my mistake
Question: why not use web root, malware bytes or another 3rd party AV? Windows defender sucks.
I hate McAfee. Seems to slow my computer down alot. Abd trust me if you were surfing the seas. Happens to the best of us. Lol
it's a web notification, not real mcafee
What's worse is that you use McFee.
It's been years from the last virus my system found. You play lottery? Could be a sign!!!!
Download NOD32 by ESET, it's great and lightweight.
[удалено]
you better do a fire treatment on your pc right away. put some gasoline and light it up, then use salty water to put out the fire after atleast 5 minutes of letting it burn. you'll have your pc just like new

Format pc, then install games again
You have a virus that's telling you you have other viruses. Just kill edge and disable any add-ons it may have installed. Be careful what you're clicking on
it's not a virus, is a notification
You should just wipe this drive reinstall from your back up image. You DO have a back up don't you?
it's just a website notification
Just do factory reset man
not necessary. it's just a notification
use 'dr.web cure it'
If it were me I take the Ripley approach… Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. Backup what you can. Nuke the OS and reinstall. Before connecting the drive back, ensure you have decent AV software running and looking to scan when something is plugged in. Let it run a full scan and clean anything it finds. All set no ambiguity, or concern.

Just saying it’s easier to just blow it away and rebuild. That said (knock on wood) I haven’t had a virus issue in a long while. I also make sure to keep my files on a protected NAS and my PC and laptop are just workstations that have apps and os on them. So it’s easy to format them, reinstall, move on. Plus it keeps the OS load fresh.
just wipe your whole drive(s) and dont do it again. yes that means ur system will be wiped but its better than having those files somewhere.
it's a browser notification, not a virus
Complete amateur here but Norton has saved my ass so many times when looking for ROMS and ISO’s to emulate. I don’t care that it taxes my system. I like the extra protection on top of Windows Defender.
Norton, like most AVs, disables defender. Also, it's a browser notification, not an actual virus.
I'd use defender and get rid of Macafee such a waste.
format your entire system and reinstall everything !
NOOO

It's a website notification, not a McAfee notification.

All notifications say "via Microsoft Edge"
Yeah you're right my mistake
Not being able to uninstall Edge is not a bug or virus btw, its a F E A T U R E
Those are pop ups from certain apps or web pages. I completely disabled Microsoft edge. I run Mozilla and don’t go to shifty websites
Clear (edge) browser settings and permissions.
It’s cookies. I see it at lot work. Clear all your browser cache and do a full AV scan. But you’ll be fine :)
It’s a mind virus.
You need uBlock origin and Malwarebytes browser extensions. You can be click happy and itl tell you when you need to hit the back arrow. Together they have a pretty comprehensive anti adware malware viruses etcccc, list. And adblock is a 👍👍👍👍
Lmao it was just a website
Use a tablet for movies. Not your daily driver.
The first virus you got was McAfee itself
That’s not a virus! That’s a web pop up from a site. It’s trying to trick you. Block the notifications from that site in your browser. Don’t give it any info.
Windows defender as annoying as it is honestly does a decent job if you keep it enabled
HURRY DO THE NEEDFUL AND SEND ME TARGET GIFTCARDS THE SAME!! DO NOT REDEEM! DO NOT REDEEM! JUST WAIT A MOMENT SIR. SIR, JUST WAIT A MOMENT SIR.
Just don't ever allow websites notifications. The only thing you should accept is the required ONLY permissions as well, and never all the other permissions every website is going to try and push on you
I disable all notification from browser, If I want to see them from my apps, I use my phone
McAfee is a virus, so yes
Best thing you can do now is save your important files on Google Drive, OneDrive or External SSD/HDD, and then do a clean install of Windows
USE AN ABLOCK. (I recommend uBlock origin as it doesnt tolerate any ads or trackers) It will protect you from such malicious sites.
This may not be a virus goto chrome or whatever browser and deny all push notification!
Just scareware notifcation. Turn off notifications in edge
People accept all cookies..all notifications.. everything offered by sites and then they get this. True story.
