Annoying Popups

All of a sudden, when I sign on, I keep getting these pop-ups from Norton and McAfee virus protection. How do I

get rid of them?

Are those popups appearing at the upper right of your screen?


Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.


  • Go to Safari's Settings (or Preferences) menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove everything there.


For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Don't allow websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support. Deselecting "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" will prevent those websites from even asking your permission to be harassed by them.
