Ignore these and do not call the number or install any software. If you’re getting pop-up scams about having a virus or threats/warnings, these are not caused by adware. Īre you getting fake scam pop-ups about a virus? We recommend installing an adware blocker browser extension. Your browser extensions is where adware will like to hide. If the problem is happening on specific websites only, it most likely isn’t adware since you’ve already cleared your browser extensions. (this is only available in Safari 7.0.3 and above) Safari will ignore all push notification requests from websites.
On the bottom left, you can uncheck “Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications” to stop Safari from asking you about push notifications completely. You can also “Remove All” to disable all them in bulk. You can “Deny” all the websites that are sending bothersome alerts. To disable these, open up Safari and go to “Preferences” from the top left pull-down menu and click “Notifications”. If you’re seeing the notification popup on the top right corner of your screen with no web browsers open, then you might have allowed and given permissions to a specific website to send you notification.
