[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1937833, member: 190607"] You aren't actually "infected" with anything. You are seeing an abusive notification, that you almost certainly (but probably unknowingly) agreed to be sent to you when visiting a Web site. These have become common lately. They are easy to deal with. You can fix it (and keep it from happening again) simply by turning off notifications in Safari: In Safari —> Safari menu —> Preferences (or settings) --> Websites tab --> Notifications (in left column) —> deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications” For more info: [URL code="true"]https://tidbits.com/2023/06/26/how-to-identify-and-eliminate-abusive-web-notifications/[/URL] [URL code="true"]https://www.macworld.com/article/2110589/block-unwanted-website-notifications-mac.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
