Why McAfee Pop-up hesitates sometimes?

When it comes to protection from Viruses and malware, McAfee turns out to be great software. But anything cannot be perfect in each aspect, one of the major downside of McAfee was, that it was used to generate significant amounts of pop-up while scanning and even when it used to run in the background.

You assume that you are doing some important work, getting late for some urgent meeting, and then you need to get some files from your Pen Drive, and as soon as you insert the pen drive, then an annoying McAfee popup of an ad comes in, which can waste your another 10 seconds.

Many times while working McAfee paid version also used to get a popup saying “Your Computer is at risk” popup which is irritating and might lead you to uninstall the McAfee Antivirus and at the end leaving your PC unprotected.

Another annoying McAfee Popup comes when your subscription is about to get over, and then you get a popup asking for you to purchase a new license. McAfee had always been everyone’s favorite antivirus as it was free and was available to all.

But all this comes at a cost, and as a cost, you had to view all these irritating pop-ups which might come on your way and interrupt you.
