Problem with a brand new Mac Studio M4 ProMax... Could be a virus or just a ruse to sell Maccafee Anti Virus.

Shortly after I turned on my New Studio the attached image began to pop into the upper right hand corner of my display. Says my subscription had lapsed... But I have never owned McAfee AV!
How can I get rid of this?
Thanks

And there's no such thing as a Mac Studio ProMax. They either use the "Max" variant of a chip or they use the "Ultra" variant of a chip. In your case, it's the M4 Max.
