I usually run Chrome, but opened Safari on my Mac for the first time in months, then closed. Ever since, I am getting prompts ever 10 or 15 seconds in the upper right corner of my screen with the Safari logo and claiming I have viruses or need to renew Norton with some outfit named johesx.co.in. I ran a deep scan with CleanmyMac and their malware scanner and it doesn't show up. Anyone else have this problem? So sorry I opened Safari.

This worked for me, was about to factory reset!
I didn't need to remove all websites. johesx.co.in was listed. I just clicked on it and clicked remove and it's gone.
Jim, thanks so much. That seems to have worked. It's hard on the ego getting old and watching the technology bounce away from you like a balloon in the wind. :-)
Thanks! Just fixed it much quicker than Apple Support!
I did the same. Just turned off notifications for the suspicious website only and I hope that is enough. Of course I did not click on the invitation to "renew." R
Thank you for your help.
This happened to me last night. I regained my sanity by turning off my wifi. This morning I found your post and it worked.
I'm using Sonoma with Safari and have 'Free' Avast. This is the first 'virus' I have knowingly had in years.
. . . . and yes getting old is tough, especially if you haven't done it before.
