McAfee virus scam

30 replies

For the last two weeks, when I’m reading a thread. I will get an alert from McAfee saying I have a virus.

l Use a tablet and this doesn’t occur on any other website etc that I look at.

I have signed out of MN and changed my password but it is still happening.

Has MN been hacked?

Sorry I wandered off to eat… here’s one. Should I keep posting them? I get plenty.

/sarcasm over

this is on my IPad and it’s the only site I get them on.

I love the way MN has a whole army behind the scenes, on stand by, just waiting for an opportunity to 'take a look'.

Hi OP

Can you possibly take a screenshot for us the next time that this happens, so we can take a look?

It’s happening to me too… hang on I’ll have a screenshot in 5 minutes 😒 as that’s the time between them.

I get countless scams from them . Forever blocking. Very irritating.
