I started to see notifications sliding in and out from the top right corner of my iMac two days.
The notifications have the setting wheel icon followed by "ask you", "gmail is hacked", etc.
Look like my iMac is finally infected after having been using iMac for almost 20 years!
So, how do I deal with this?

Hopefully you fixed it by now. This results from a web site that you inadvertently gave permission to send notifications. It seems to persist even after safari and Mac restarts, software updates, etc. It's easy to get rid of if you know where to look. In Safari, click the Safari menu and select "Settings..." Click on the little globe icon labeled "Websites" On the left side of the box, scroll down until you see "Notifications" and click it. On the right you will see icons of websites for which you are allowing notifications. One of them will have the settings wheel and no name listed. Select it and hit the remove button below. Poof gone.
Thank you so much for this, I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but this is the only useful resolution I have found! I have been trying to fix this for weeks.
👍
I cannot thank you enough for this post!! Those notifications have been driving me bananas!! Awesome directions. Thank you!
I checked both Safari and Chrome xaviarbxh. Nothing there that shouldn't be.
