Pop-Up Warning about Virus

Sporadically I will receive pop-up messages that only stay up for up 5 seconds and they will say anything from Your MAC has been infected, to Your Gmail has a virus, to Your OS has a Virus. I know this is a scam but I cannot find anywhere in Settings on my MAC how to stopped these Pop-Ups Warning Messages. Anyone know what to do?

iMac 27″, macOS 13.3
