Just one small problem here......I don't have McAfee as my anti-virus protection. I have Norton.
Hmmm. I use the met office web site every few days and I have not seen this one.

I suspect, but have not proof, that linked ad sites may be a source for this kind of stuff. I therefore use an ad blocker.

Met office site seems to have ads, albeit a relatively small number.

Also, it may not even have had anything to do with MacAfee.
