Norton pop ups that look like they are coming from System Settings

I recently fell into a trap when I clicked on a link in a professional webinar chat, was supposed to take me to the recording of the webinar. It took me to a page that managed to fool me into clicking on a link but instead took me to a page that said that my computer was infected. I closed that window but I have been left with pop ups in the upper left hand corner that look just like the system settings notifications and they pop up every minute or two. For now I have turned off notifications from system settings.

I would appreciate ideas for getting rid of them.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3
