Every 2 minutes or so I have a banner telling me I have 13 viruses. I did a scan with several antiviruses and there's no virus. Has anybody had the same issue ?

They are not "real", meaning you do not have a virus. Uninstall all third party antivirus apps. Such apps use system resources while providing no benefit. And they may cause problems. Disable notifications in your browser if that is where your notifications are appearing.
Post an etrecheck report so that we can see what apps you have installed that may be contributing to your issie.

Sounds like you are getting scam messages, probably in the form of Web notifications that pop up in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
How do I tell if the virus alerts on my MacBook Pro are real?
