On my MacBook Pro, I started getting popup messages with the System icon and the text "Gmail alert: Account has been hacked. Your data may be stolen! Delete virus" Still happens after reinstalling OS and running through virus check. How can I get rid of these messages that clearly want me to click on something that would install something harmful. Screen shot attached. How do I identify and remove this malware?

Probably, A site you visited might have added itself to notifications in Safari. It's a scam.
Open Safari's settings. Click on the Websites tab. Scroll down on the left side and click on Notifications. Remove the offending entry or entries.

If you have followed the steps provided by Randall_2023 above, it should have taken care of the issue. However, if there is still a problem: Please see the very informative user tip below.

That took care of it, Randall. Thank you!
Hi,
Than you for your tip but i am unable to press the remove button,
know any fix for that?
Fixed - thank you 👍
I don't see any website that seems weird. I turned off almost everything under Notifications and I am still getting the alerts.
