I am wondering if anyone can help me identify what this icon is... It's showing up in my drop-down menu on 2015 MacBook Pro running on Big Sur. Specifically, it looks like it's some kind of subscription but it's to a show/website that I have never visited in my life... these notifications appear every day and I can't make them stop because I don't know what app this red signal icon represents. Example is attached of what is showing up...
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Control click on the Notification, This opens the contextual menu >Notifications Preferences
Here you should be able to identify the app / or turn off Notifications

Thanks for your help!
Download EtreCheck, run it to see if there is any adware installed or not.
Click “Free download” button,
Open Downloads folder, click on it to open, and then select ”Open”.
“Choose a problem” from the popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog.
Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy report” .
Paste the report when you reply.
Note: This is a diagnostic test.
I fixed the issue by going to Safari>Preferences>Websites>Notifications and denying the website from giving me notifications. I had never visited the website before so I don't know why or how they even got into my Safari websites but oh well.
You have turned off the notification. Great.
Please remove adware installed on your Mac that is causing the problem.
From EtreCheck report:
Adware:
Launchd: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/.plist
Executable: /Applications/OneDrive.app/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive
Reason: Adware name match
Remove adware
Please run EtreCheck again
When the result appears, click the "Security" button in the sidebar on the left.
Details will appear on the right with a "Remove" button.
Click it.
Close the app.
What is this app?
