There are two possibilities.  McAfee may have that popup as an option as explained here

Alternately there is a startup service 

Bring up the task manager by entering "task" in the search box. You may have to select "administrator" to start the task manager.  Then bring up the 'startup" page and look for McAfee

 

I used to have it.  Had a subscription for 3 years but got rid of it after 2 as it kept trying to phone home and the servers it was trying to reach were all timing out after 30 seconds causing a long startup delay.
