I keep getting a pop up that says to install anti-virus software

I'm pretty sure this is a virus itself. How do I clean my MacBook Air please?

If you are using Safari, check the settings at: Safari > Settings > Websites > Notification. It is best to block all Notifications and then confirm the problem is gone. After that only allow Notifications for sites that are known to be reputable and that you want to receive Notifications from them.


The same is true for the setting at: Safari > Settings > Websites > Pop Up Windows.
