Hi Tony It’s actually not a virus or Malware. So scans won’t pick it up. It’s a weird notification and you can remove it as follows.
Open Safari. Go to preferences. / Settings Go to Websites On the left hand side Go right to the bottom to Notifications. Click on this. On the right hand side you’ll see a list of things. At the very top of this will be one that just has a small icon but no text beside it. Click on it once. Then click remove down the bottom. It will then remove it and you shouldn’t get the notifications anymore (You may need to Quit and re-open Safari again. ) But that should remove it and resolve it.
