Dell has pre-installed it for some time, with no option to opt out of it. I have not used McAfee products for many years, and am not familiar with the current suite. I have no links or conflicts of interest with the industry. I also follow independent website organizations that test the efficacy of security software at preventing and removing malware. I have been posting for many years on this board on internet anti-virus and anti-malware products, and have personally tested most of the major products, both free and paid out there.

Ok, tell me how to force all the McAfee products to quit posting popups, notices, etc. I don't know what marketing "genius" thought that annoying notices were good for brand awareness, but if I can't shut this program up, it will be the end of my use of any McAfee product in the future and I will make it a point to tell everyone to avoid it. I have also disabled everything in McAfee itself just to see if that stops the annoying notices without luck. I have now searched the web and tried everything including removing all Task Scheduler items by McAfee, all Windows notice controls, etc. I'm willing to try their product, so I don't want to uninstall it, but if it doesn't stop pestering me, I'm just going to remove it. I do not ever want to be notified if I'm "not protected" or if the software isn't updated or if I "need" to run a scan. I do not want anything on my computer automatically connecting to the internet.

I recently bought a G5 with Windows 10, home edition and it came with McAfee installed.
