Pop-up Notice on Safari Cannot be Removed!

What to do? I cannot delete this Safari pop-up!

Does true malware exist on my computer…or is the pop-up itself the malware?

Advice?

Fake Tech support popup on Mac I keep getting fake Virus alerts on my Mac. Luckily I know they are fake, because they want money. I think its from an app I installed a while ago. I uninstalled the app, but the popups are still coming. Is there a cache I need to clear or something?

Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups I have a Mac air. I am not a big Google user (or Google fan for that matter). However, I do have a Google account that I have accessed via my Safari browser. However, just about every other website is now causing a pop-up that asks me to "sign in with google" as many of these sites have a SSO with Google. I have removed all of my Google sign-in's from Safari, removed cookies, removed history but these annoying "sign in with Google" prompts still exist. I have removed this "opt in" check-box on my Google account as well without any success. How do I stop the annoying pop-ups from Google asking me to sign in?

Mysterious Generic notifcation "Update Available Title"? I have a mysterious notification that keeps popping up. It says "Update Available Title Update Available Body" I dismiss it and it appears again the next day. I've checked the App Store, System Settings and my commonly used programs, and I don't see anything with an update pending. Is there a way to look under the hood and see what program may have triggered this notifcation? Running on a 16 inch Intel Macbook Pro macOS 13.1 Ventura

Don't do anything until further information is available. This is widely reported.

Probably a software glitch.

Thanks, dominic23... For the present I've dragged the notice off-screen to lower left corner of Safari... just a sliver remains visible! I hope this is soon resolved!

Three days later, this "problem" remains unresolved!

Or... have I not been paying attention?
