I knew it was fake because nobody has software that notifies you in a browser of your security software being out of date or expired subscription.It should warn you within the program if indeed you use a certain paid security suite. People should know better, but unfortunately, there is enough people that fall for it to make it worthwhile I guess. Anything coming through a browser or email cannot always be trusted.

I told her to ignore it and to just close it. She did. Everything seemed ok. She did not have nor has she ever had McAfee. Couple days later, computer ran into trouble, wireless card malfunction, I think. Anyway, couldn't get internet. Did a system restore and everything back to normal, I hope. Maybe they left an Easter egg.

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userMar 7, 2019 by Your McAfee Subscription has Expired Scaman anonymous user from: Churchville, New York, United StatesCalled a 1-800-239-3013 to activate a new McAfee activation card and hooked up with scammers. They had control of my computer screen and said I had 30 foreign people that have broken into my firewall and showed this on my screen.They wanted to have a tech spend an hour on my computer to clean and install a new firewall. The number wasn't the one on my card I bought, flags went up. I called the number on the card I bought.This was the real number and told me the other number was a scam. Not knowing what info that may have been taken, I cancelled my online Credit cards information. Had I let the scammers into my computer for an hour they would have stolen my identity.

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userOct 16, 2018 by Your McAfee Subscription has Expired Scaman anonymous user from: Oak Park, Illinois, United StatesGot this today, first time I have seen it. I knew it was fake because nobody has software that notifies you in a browser of your security software being out of date or expired subscription.It should warn you within the program if indeed you use a certain paid security suite. People should know better, but unfortunately, there is enough people that fall for it to make it worthwhile I guess. Anything coming through a browser or email cannot always be trusted. Always use a bit of skepticism to protect yourselves.
