I keep getting these periodic notifications to upgrade MacOSX or Adobe, and others.....on Firefox, interrupting what i'm doing ...how can this be eliminated, thank you in advance....
here is a screenshot of the problem that pops up on Google Chrome, and it popped up after i turned notifications off for it....the only thing i can think of is it has to take effect only when a restart of the computer takes place.....i hope you can make it out
FireFox is at version 60. The pre-2006 Mac computers this forum section serves cannot run higher than FireFox v3. and could never run Chrome. Please help us help you by telling us what Mac device you have and what operating system version it is running. When we guess the outcome is seldom satisfactory.
Well, my first guess would be that you possibly either have a setting in Chrome Preferences you should check and/or need to address this with Google (makers of Chrome) if it is strictly coming through on your browser. I've never experienced anything like that, but then I avoid everything Google and have never used Chrome.
You can also check the Notifications preferences in System Prefs to see if they are enabled on Chrome - turn that off and try it.
Can you send a screenshot of one of the notices?
That is advertising (adware) - this one is from MacKeeper (the worst of them all). Since you are using Chrome, I am not sure how to stop that, but you might try to close that tab/window, go to your Chrome preferences and see if you have allowed anything you don't want. You can also download/run Malwarebytes for Mac which will get rid of malware/adware; however, it may return. They will do most anything to help you spend some money.
I have a 27" iMac 2009 and the OS currently is 10.13.4
Its not through the noted software updates which we get directly through the system.....Its occuring periodically on Chrome and very much unwarranted and unwelcommed
Apologies, this is ocuring on Google Chrome, not Firefox
I'm asking the Hosts to move you to the forum dedicated to your computer model.
sure, if it comes up again......in the mean time i'll check out what you reccomended me to do
ok, in the mean time i have turned off notifications for Google Chrome and we'll see what that does ultimately
chrome. I keep getting these periodic notifications to upgrade MacOSX or Adobe, and others
