For some reason I keep getting McAfee Web Gateway notifications when I go to some websites. I'm using Eset Smart Security so have no idea where they're coming from.
Is it possible that it's malware or that some other program installed it? Perhaps Neotel have implemented it on their side?

Yoh That is weird. Did any people not screw around with your computer?

If not, check to see if any McAfee program(s) are installed and uninstall them.

If not try scan your computer for malware programs (using latest virus database update).
