LG Removes McAfee Pop-Up After Microsoft CEO Complaints
LG has removed a McAfee pop-up ad from its Windows laptops after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella intervened. The ad, which appeared during setup, prompted users to install McAfee antivirus. However, LG left the silent app installation mechanism in place, raising concerns about bloatware practices.
