  4. This is just guess work and Google - it's a few years since I used McAphee = free version for a year. Have you ever used the 'uninstall' command? Type uninstall in your 'Start/Search' panel and you should get a list of all the software programs you have installed and when you click on the program you are after you should get an option to Uninstall/Delete. If you have access to the 'Control Panel' and depending on your Windows version you might be able to access the uninstall tool via the Control Panel that could take you to the Programs and Features option that when selected gives you a list of all your installed software and the option to uninstall :- If you still have McAphee dashboard then you could try :- Access the McAfee dashboard. Select “Navigation” from the top-right corner. From the “Next” tab, select “General Settings and Alerts.” To manually turn off pop-ups, select the “Informational Alerts” and “Protection Alerts” option. Uncheck the boxes to stop receiving pop-up alerts. If thay fails then it

I won't add any year on at the moment but if we get any further info I will update.

Hello @Ellie Thorpe - I am an ex Bedlington lad, now retired, and therefore can't give you info on the current view of Bedlington residents but hopefully, like Andy has above, I can give you 'www' links to info on Bedlington. One of the members on this group is an independant Bedlington councillor - @Malcolm Robinson - and Malcolm often posts :- current info - videos of council meetings - development plans etc. etc. I'm sure you will have Googled Bedlington. The following are Google images of the town. Bedlington has two identities - The Top End & Bedlington Station (where the old railway statio still is and will be reopened under the new plans).
