(the link is not paid for, nor does it go to, McAfee, it's malware)

This is why I switched to K-9 Mail instead of using GMail because borderline Google was legitimately serving malware not just McAfee which isn't malware. Since it allows me to have my Gmail and other email accounts in it all at the same time instead of a dedicated app filled with ads leading to real malware.

Oh this doesn't link to McAfee, this links to a scam site that may or may not send you to McAfee's website after clicking their big "buy now" button.
