Malware

I’ve just been infected with 'Windows Defender Security Center' on Safari. I’m running an iMac Desktop 2019 with Monterey 12.3.1. I’m not finding anything in the Applications or Utilities folders and I have no extensions running on Safari. Can anyone suggest how to be rid of it.


Thanks

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.3

Just ignore it, close the website or tab its in. It's a scare tactic or phishing scam "ad" on a website you are visiting trying to trick you. There's nothing actually installed on your Mac.
