Pop-ups from Norton on Macbook How do you eliminate pop ups from Norton

Anti Virus Software I have a MacBook Pro I bought in 2022.. Everything I have read states that I don't need any kind OF Antivirus software but this Norton Thing keeps popping up telling me I have 7 viruses on my computer. I have Malwarebytes and when I do a scan nothing shows up. I have never downloaded anything other than Mac Approved apps on this, and I was under the impression I couldn't get this kind of virus on my Mac. Is this Norton thing just some kind of gimmick to get me to purchase their product or do I really need some kind of antivirus software. I ask because I've been having a lot of issues with my Mac including it freezing, not responding to anything for long periods and me having to force close apps in order to get anything to work. What should I do to get it to stop freezing up there than doing the scans on Malwarebytes and what could be causing it if it's not a virus.
