My wife's computer had the same problem. I fixed it by clicking on the 3 dots on the "pop-up" and options came up to turn off all notifications in Microsoft Edge, when I did that the "pop-up's" stopped.
Hope it helps you.

1st thing is to completely remove McAfee if it is in the system/machine. See below*.
Are you using Windows Defender or do you, actually have McAfee installed? You should be using Windows Defender so, either way follow the following recommendations:
That will give you the following window. Check, Turn on pop-up blocker & hit OK
And/OR
You can clearly see BREESTRASS is Porkbun... Are they getting hacked? Are they spammers? I don't know but they get block on my system if I ever see their ads.

Anonymous Z3rO, I'll bet you can go to the notifications and turn them off. In their great "let's all be cloud users" Microsoft has a cookie hole now that these spammers are accessing. They are simply trying to get you to buy and give them your credit card info. DON'T DO IT.
The simple solution of turn off notification worked like a charm for me. Go to your setting tab that little gear that pops up after you click on the Windows Icon in the lower left of the taskbar, then to System (it will show display, notifications, etc) . You can find specific ones. I don't Yahoo either since getting tech support with them is nearly impossible.
Yes, it is annoying.
I get these popups too, however mine are different. The ads I get tell me I have computer viruses (I know very well that I don't) and that there are security problems (also false, I update the antivirus software virtually every day). They slow down the computer by processing a lot of CPU and it gets annoying. I don't have a McAfee account on the computer and I don't want one, so how do I shut these off?
