    Hello,

    there is a possibility that you may have allowed notifications from a malicious website.

    This can cause repeated messages such as “Your PC is infected with 5 different viruses.”

    To understand the situation better, where exactly do you see this message?

    • In your web browser?
    • As a Windows notification?
    • Or on a specific website?

    If the issue is caused by website notifications, please try the following:

    Check your browser notification settings:

    Chrome / Edge:

    Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Notifications

    Look for any suspicious websites in the “Allowed” list and remove them.

    After removing them:

    • Close the browser completely
    • Clear the cache
    • Restart the browser
