Banners or Alerts in notifications centre Linked to web threat ! How to get rid of it ?

Hello Apple Community,


First af all, I am french and I didn't wrote in english since a longtime so I hope I will be clear and will do my best to be as clear as possible.


My issue is the following :


A new banner popped up in my screen since today. It is not a fake banner from internet but the one you can choose to allow are not from the notifications centre.





This banner alert myself about many different fake subjects :


  • a virus attack and invited me to re-install the virus protection ( that i don't have, of course)
  • Some message as "is that you that downloading that files ? (clic to show)"
  • etc...




And if I click on it, it's linked to a website call "ismilinstite.com" which is directly recognize as a threat by avast ( because I just installed avast today due to this issue and to see what Avast will do )


And also, I can switch off the banners as it is a normal one !!


I don't know where it came from, what is the application related to that ( because it is inside the notification centre )


So, is there somebody who know what it is and how I can get rid of it !!


I hope i am understandable ;)


All the best

Bonjour,


Merci pour ta réponse.


En fait ce n'est pas un logiciel malveillant. C'est une permission d'afficher une alerte dans le centre de notifications qui fut accorder à un site malveillant sans passer par l'autorisation de l'administrateur (moi).

C'est pour cela que d'une part, ni Avast ni Malware ni aucun autres anti virus n'aurait pu trouver de logiciel et que, d'autre part, il était impossible de supprimer la bannière depuis le centre de notification.


Pour s'en débarrasser : La manipulation consiste à aller dans les préférences de safari, sous l'onglet "sites web" puis " "notifications" et à supprimer le site en question. ( déjà supprimer ci dessous, c'est juste pour montrer)



Je dois avouer trouver cette "attaque" assez futée ! Il aura fallut que je passes tout de même a Iconcept à Tarbes pour me décoincer. Merci à eux et à leur accueil !! ( ils m'ont aider et trouver la combine gracieusement)


Voila, Problem solved
