I was messaging back and forth with someone on this site just now and up pops a McAffe virus alert. I do not have Mcaffe on my PC! Seems like an ad "disguised" as an alert? Problem is, when I click out of it, the mingle 2 site I'm on closes out and drops. Weird. Anyone have an idea what this is? If this is an ad, Mingle should know whats going on as it's quite intrusive. Or possibly its something else? Anyone? Thanks!

Suppose, it's just an ad, I get a couple of them myself and I ignore them

For example, ads for Toyota coming up on my screen, and I don't even have a drivers license

Sometimes when you install a program it will add piggyback software during the install unless you specifically uncheck the boxes or decline the addition.

You should check your program uninstall list in the control panel to see if McAfee is anywhere to be found.

You can also open your task manager and see if McAfee is an active running service.

You could try running M2 in a different browser to see if that changes the conditions of the problem.

You can also look at your browser extensions and add-ons to see if McAfee got in there somehow?

Ccleaner (free) allows you to see the program uninatll list and all browser and explorer add-ons easily. If you download it, during the install READ each page and uncheck or decline any piggyback software.

If you use Firefox, I recomend using the adblocker ultimate extension. I never see ads here or even at youtube. For this page alone, ABU has blocked 9 ads. In total for M2 site 472,197 ads have been blocked. You can also block specific elements of a page.

Great info! Thanks Tom. There's definitely something going on as I've never had a problem like this before. Seems to be happening only on M2 as far as I can tell. Will try those suggestions. Much appreciated

Use an Adblocker, run a malware proggie, and maybe more. I use MalwareBytes and from the same company Adware.
Sometimes I run TrendMicro Housecall, which is a virus thing that you can use without having to install/buy an entire large programme for that.

As for the question: nope, I never get that. And if I would I'd do the above. And I have AdBlock installed as Chrome extension.

It's a scam as I have had the same. Just block and delete the sender!!!

It's not a scam.. As many have already said it is most likely
malware that has attached it's self to what ever he is signed in on.. Use the Virus scans and run the scan a few times.. Should get rid of it.

Also AdBlockerPlus is what I use and never get the Ads or Popups if it is just a Ad..

My browser is Firefox and the AdBlockerPlus works great.. I use to get all the Ad Pop ups till I installed that program.. Best thing I ever put on my computer..
