Yesterday I started getting many messages saying that my iCloud account maybe being compromised and that I have viruses threatening me.. Then I get a screen with MxAfee wanting to scan my system. I do not have McAfee on my system. How do I get rid of this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2
It's a scam. Clicking any such message will push you to a site to purchase completely useless AV or VPN software.
Open Safari's preferences. Click on the Websites tab and then scroll down to Notifications. Clear any entries in the right hand window, then uncheck the box below that, as shown here.
I personally can't think of any reason why I would ever want any website to push notices to me.

Follow the advise of @Kurt Lang above

Somehow, the User may have inadvertently allowed a WebSite to offer this Notification.
That was easy. Thanks much for your help and suggestion.
To be fair and balanced.
