That’s not a virus, and not malware.


What would you have XProtect do here?


You were offered notifications, accepted that offer, and are now getting those notifications.


If you don’t want the website notifications, turn those off.


Here is how to: Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


I turn off website notifications, and disable the ability for websites to ask to send notifications.


Here are some other considerations: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
