Hi, I have the same problem! How did you solve it?

thanks

I got this Macfee blocking my Safari page, I shut down the computer and searched for it in utilities, was not there, I deleted all Safari history, at last, I follow your suggestion and in Safari settings-websites I deleted the grey icon system preferences alerts, which have disappeard from my notifications centre as well. I hope it doesn't return.

I was on my computer a few nights ago and I got a bunch of notifications saying that my icloud is hacked and there is a trojan virus on my computer. I havent downloaded anything new or been on any sketchy sites. I tried to look it up and see what to do but nothing is coming up for my type of sitiuation. I also see now in the notification section as well as in settings that I need to confirm I am not a robot, which I have never seen this before. I haven't clicked on any of these notifications because I don't know if this is real or not. Are these real?

Third party AntiVirus is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apple’s own built in security:

macOS - Security - Apple macOS - Security - Apple

Apple Platform Security - Apple Apple Platform Security - Apple Support

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
