Hello oldenche,


This sounds like a Safari web notification. It is important to not click on any pop ups or click on any links where you do not know where the destination will take you.


On macOS:


  1. Open Safari
  2. Open Settings (Command + ,)
  3. Click on Websites
  4. Scroll down and click on Notifications



You'll either want to click on the website in question and Remove it, or click on the drop down menu to the right of the website and select Deny.


I would personally advise (if you're getting these a lot), to remove all websites and then toggle off Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications. This will prevent any websites from requesting this permission and deny by default.


I would also advise going through Privacy & Security of Settings. I would go through and make sure no app is abusing permissions you've granted. More specifically I'd be careful with what you grant access to:

  1. Location
  2. Camera
  3. Microphone
  4. Screen Recording
  5. Files & Folder
  6. Full Disk Access


In my opinion, no app should have Full Disk Access.


Do not download any anti virus or cleaner software. Your iMac does not need it. The Privacy & Security section of Settings can be used to grant more / remove less privileges from all apps on you iMac. If you don't like what an app is doing, delete it from your iMac or revoke it's privileges to aspects of macOS.

Reset Safari.Dopo aver effettuato un backup con Time Machine e dopo aver controllato il tuo Mac con Malwarebytes, se i problemi del browser persistono, prova a ripristinare Safariseguendo le indicazioni che trovi qui sotto.

  • Cancella la cronologia — il primo passo che ti consiglio di compiere è quello di cancellare la cronologia di navigazione. Recati quindi nel menu Cronologia di Safari, scorrilo fino in fondo e seleziona la voce Cancella cronologia da quest’ultimo. Nella finestra che si apre, seleziona la voce tutta la cronologia dal menu a tendina che trovi in corrispondenza della dicitura Cancella e fai clic sul pulsante Cancella cronologia per applicare i cambiamenti.
  • Cancella i dati dei siti Web — per cancellare i cookie e altri dati dei siti Web, recati nel menu Safari collocato in alto a sinistra, fai clic sulla voce Preferenze e seleziona la scheda Privacy dalla finestra che si apre. Successivamente, clicca sul pulsante Gestisci dati siti web, fai clic sul pulsante Rimuovi tutto e conferma l’operazione premendo sul pulsante Rimuovi adesso.
  • Svuota la cache — un’altra operazione consigliata è la rimozione della cache, ossia di tutti quei file temporanei che vengono salvati sul computer per caricare più velocemente le pagine Web. Per cancellare la cache basta aprire il menu Sviluppo di Safari e selezionare la voce Svuota la cache da quest’ultimo. Se non vedi il menu Sviluppo, clicca sulla voce Safari collocata in alto a sinistra, quindi su quella Preferenze, seleziona la scheda Avanzate e metti il segno di spunta accanto alla dicitura Mostra menu Sviluppo nella barra dei menu.
  • Disattiva le estensioni — le estensioni sono utilissime, ma alcune, se mal progettate, possono influire in maniera negativa sulla stabilità del browser (portandolo al crash o a “freeze” improvvisi). Recati, dunque, nel menu Safari, fai clic sulla voce Preferenze, seleziona la scheda Estensioni dalla finestra che si apre e disattiva, una a una, tutte le estensioni (basta selezionare le loro icone e togliere la spunta dalla casella che trovi in corrispondenza delle stesse). Quando trovi l’add-on colpevole dei problemi di Safari, rimuovilo dal browser selezionando il suo nome e cliccando sul pulsante Disinstalla.
