Blocking Face Virus Notifications:

Where are you seeing these? Are these popping intermittently, or when you perform a specific task (i.e opening an app or visiting a Web site? If you have Security Software Installed, then uninstall it, as it would be getting in the way on a Mac, and this is a pure example of how and why?


Malwarebytes Mobile Security:

If these are SMS Text Messages from iMessages in iCloud, then use the paid version go Malwarebytes Mobile Security on your iPhone, and  then that may do the job, somewhat. It blocks out suspected scams, based on the sender's phone number. The paid version lets you report a number - once reported, it blocks it out, not even allowing it to go through. Malwarebytes is created by longtime users of these forums, making it the only reliable Security Software for Apple devices. Go Here: Malwarebytes Mobile Security - App Store
