Popup McAfee virus warning
I don't know when or how it happened, but all of a sudden I am getting this popup purporting to come from McAfee with an error message saying that "your computer is damaged by suspicious programs. To remove virus, click here." Of course, I haven't clicked anywhere - this is obviously bogus. But how do I stop or uninstall this? I've run a full scan with Trendmicro, and that didn't reveal ahting.

Yes. I recently purchased a new PC which came with McAfee. I downloaded Trend Micro immediately but cannot seem to get rid of McAfee. When I try to delete it, it tells me I am not authorized to remove it. How do I dump it from my device?
