I got in touch with McAffee and found out what is going on. What I am getting is a pop-up advertising window so McAffee doesn't stop it. tech support walked me through changing a couple of setting within MS edge to help but most importantly taught me how to get out of it with out having to reboot. Has been a real pain in the ass, and the ears at times because it would emit a high pitched squeal along with the alert. There are a couple of different versions of it and it seems to get more aggressive over time, but that could just be my patience running thin. I did call the number though just to cuss them like the low life dogs they are once I knew it was just a call center trying to scam me for money to"fix" my computer. It was very cathartic...lol. I looked up a couple of Indian (red dot, not skin) insults to throw at them too.
I was baffled because my McAffee kept telling me I had no threats and was safe but it keeps happening. But now I know how to work around. It seem to happen a lot on Whatfinger but has happened a time or two on other sites. I may be partially to blame too because sometimes out of sheer boredom I will succumb to click bait items just enough to get the gist of the story. I have a lot of spare time this time of year and can only play so much solitaire...lol.
