    Suspicious never before seen threat warnings in notification area


    I have never seen such warnings and am deeply suspicious. I do not want to clink anything. I'm protected by Windows and Malwarebytes, not by any of these other actors. I wonder how it got there. It's too alarming to be real, too threatening, and too intent on causing panic.

    It's those web push notifications again that nobody seems to understand how to deal with.

    Depending on the browser used just reset permissions.

    Note: It's not malware and your system will scan clean.

    This is why I block all notifications on all browsers on every client I set up or work with.

    Thanks. It is scanning clean. Just annoying. I like some notifications but not this sales stuff. My McAfee account ran out? Uh... 20 years ago, LOL.

    Oh? It's in the browswer and not the system?

    So identify the site in notifications that is sending them then block it or remove it.

    Look for the site that's in your screenshot. (at the top of the image).

    Then revoke/ reset permissions or else block it.
