[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1841052, member: 396914"] Softonic hides its name from you, so searching for "Softonic" will not find the culprit. I don't think they are somehow controlling your machine remotely as there are easier and less expensive ways to annoy you. These Notifications, can you tell us more about them? How do they appear? How do you make them go away? Are they in the notifications list when you click on the Notifications items icon in the upper right corner (three lines of a dot and a bar is the icon). To use Time Machine or the clone, you would have to go back to before the notifications started to appear, maybe further. How about this? Can you download Etrecheck ([url=https://www.etrecheck.com]EtreCheck[/url]) and run it, get the results and post them here? You don't have to pay for Etrecheck, just use the free version. You can let it run, save the report, then copy it into a post, so you won't have to try the attachment process, just copy and paste. With that report, we can see what is loading in your system and may be able to find the issue for you. [/QUOTE]
