Hi, ever since I updated to High Sierra (currently 10.13.2), my notifications pop up on the top left of the screen. See pic.
Then when I click on the "Open Notification Center", the notifications will pop up on the right as they should until I reboot my Mac Pro again. How do I fix this problem with the notification popping up on the left side?
Thank you!
Mac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
That is not a Notification. It's an ad. You have installed some sort of adware.
Please install EtreCheck and post the report.
Picking this up again.
@dialbrain: no this is neither advertisement nor malware. It's merely an email notification - this email seems to be advertisement, but the notification banner itself is not an ad. Please refrain from recommending "malware checks" when there is no need to at all.
back to the topic -- I have the exact same problem with High Sierra. Interestingly only in my main account. The account that I set up for my kids shows notifications at the correct, right-hand side spot.
@Imagine: did you install any 3rd party app like Bartender? I have Bartender 3 (for High Sierra) installed and only activated for main account (not kids' account).
I would say de-install those 3 third-party apps you mentioned.
No it is not a bug. Notifications never show ads. It's certainly possible the adware is interfering with normal notifications. If you don't want to post the report, you could install the free trial of Malwarebytes and run it.
Good Luck.
Then you should post the EtreCheck report.
Hi dialabrain,
Thanks for your reply. It's not adware, cause it occurs with all notifications. Even Apple's. The picture I posted, the notification usually appears for about 4-5 seconds, and when I click on the "Open Notification Center", the notification zips to the right side of the screen.
Is this a bug? Thanks!

No problem.
Sorry for the late reply, fr33z33. I don't have Bartender, but I do have installed TabLauncher, SuperTab (which I'm not using) and Shortcut, which I'm also not using. Are these causing issue's? Thanks!
Here's another picture with the notification on the left.
I ran Malwarebytes and got this message.
This is all the info in red. And the Possible adware is Waves, a music application I use. Thanks!
Sorry. You need to post the entire report. Maybe someone else can help you.
Again, good luck.
Anyone figure this out? I'm still seeing this with 10.13.3. Thanks!
