Remove antivirus Pop Ups from OS Catalina 10.15.7

Are you seeing something appear in the upper right of your Mac's display, alleging the existence of something and telling you to do something in response?

Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.

• Go to Safari's Settings (or Preferences) menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove everything there.

For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

Don't allow websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support. Deselecting "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" will prevent those websites from even asking your permission to be harassed by them.

Hi, DRude, that sorta depends on where you’re seeing them… in your browser? Some kind of adware blocker might be helpful, depending on what browser you have… On your iMac itself ?? MalwareBytes is a trusted application for doing that, and of course don’t download and install

any application that claims to “fix your Mac” or “Clean your Mac from junk”, and antivirus software for the Mac, eg MacAfee( not really necessary) - and they create way more problems then they solve, you can also turn off some notifications in Safari

maybe this helps ?

Go to Safara->Settings->Notifications. Uncheck “Allow websites to ask to send notifications.” Then highlight SYSTEM NOTIFICATIONS and delete it. That is a garbage website that has nothing to do with your OS except to harass you.
