I awoke this AM to find this alert popping up on my desktop every 10 minutes. My guess is that it is some kind of hack and the last thing I should be doing is clicking on the "Click Here to Turn on Antivirus". How can I disable this particular alert?
I am running Big Sur 11.7.6 on my ancient iMac.

I was hoping for a more targeted method but perhaps it has to be a case of all or none. Ideally, I want to disable this particular annoyance without disabling all notifications. I have all sorts of alerts set in my calendar like -
cancel Netflix prior to vacation
water cactus first of every month
return library book
that are useful and that I do want to see popping up on the desktop at the appropriate time. I guess I have to decide which is more important - keeping the notifications and putting up with the unwanted one or turning notifications off and losing the convenience of the reminders. OK, but at least I now have an option available to me.
Wow! That is the answer I wanted. Worked perfectly and what's even better, I still get to have all the proper notifications from my calendar. Thanks so much stedman1 for providing me with that excellent and relevant link!
In Safari turn off notifications.
You are quite welcome.
