Virus warnings on MacBook Pro

I keep getting messages that my MacBook Pro is infected with 13 viruses… how do I make it stop and more importantly make sure my laptop is not infected?

Your Mac is fine.


Somewhere along the path you were offered and accepted notifications, and now you no longer wish to receive those notifications.


There’s no malware here, just an advertising spam.


Follow the tip linked above to both revoke permission to send these notifications, and to prevent any future requests to send these notifications.
