I keep getting a small pop-up, like the email ones on screen at the top right corner of my screen. When I click on it, it opens Safari and takes me to
Obviously, I don't download anything there; and I am already connected to a Trend Micro VPN. Anyone seen this? and how can I find it to remove it?

Well folks, I looked in Safari -> Settings -> Notifications -> Websites and found the gear icon in the list of web addresses. You know the one: without a website or IP address next to it. The permissions were set for 'Allow'. Made me ill looking at it. I deleted the icon (website). Hopefully, that's now gone. If I see it again, I'll chase and post again. But I think it's done.
BTW, the notice looks like this if it happens to you:
I don't believe I'm the first to have this happen to. Hopefully, it never does to anyone else, but if so, try this out.
Peace.

Check Safari Settings, Websites, Notifications. Remove any websites you don't recognize.
Nope, not just you. It's been a very common complaint here the past 3 to 4 weeks.
As one of our fellow members put it: Push notifications is one of the must useless "features" ever added to Safari. The only people who use it are scammers.
Thanks Barney. That seems to be a good place to start.
Have a great weekend!
