<main> <article class="userContent"> <h3 data-version="7" data-article="000008090" data-id="issue">Issue:</h3> <p>Why I do keep receiving notifications pop-ups from, for example, easyspeedtest.com on my Windows 10 computer?<br>Is my computer infected? I have already run a full computer scan but no harmful items were found.<br>I'm getting suspicious notifications on my Android Chrome browser from e.g. marichi-moda.ru.</p> <h3 data-id="resolution">Resolution:</h3> <p>These notifications are not infections or viruses on your computer, thus F-Secure will not detect or delete them. <br><br>Usually, when you get these notification pop-ups, you've visited a website that asks you to either <b>allow </b>or <b>block </b>its notifications, and you've selected allow. After this, the site will keep sending you notifications. <br><br>You can disable this from your browser. <br></p><ol><li>On your computer, open <b>Chrome</b></li><li>At the top right, click <b>More </b></li><li><strong><b>Choose </b>Settings</strong></li><li>Click <strong>Privacy and security </strong>from the menu on the left</li><li>Click <strong>Site settings </strong>from the list in the middle of your screen</li><li>Click <strong>Notifications </strong>in the <strong>Permissions </strong>section: <ul><li>Choose to block all notifications by selecting <b>Don't allow sites to send notifications</b></li></ul></li></ol> If you select <strong>Sites can ask to send notifications</strong>, you can block a specific site by viewing the <strong>Allowed to send notifications </strong>list and clicking the <strong>three dot</strong>s on the right side of an address and then selecting <strong>Block</strong>.<br><br>You may also try the steps below to remove Chrome ads notification as Windows 10 comes with the function to show ads. <ol><li>Search for <b>Settings </b>in Windows</li><li>Click on <b>System</b></li><li>Click on <b>Notifications & actions</b></li><li>Under "Get notifications from these senders"<b>,</b> if you can see Chrome<b> ></b> Turn it <b>Off</b></li></ol> If you're getting suspicious notifications from<b> Chrome </b>on your <b>Android</b> device, you can disable these notifications by: <ol><li>Open <b>Chrome</b> and open the<b> Menu (three dots).</b> </li><li>Choose <b>Settings</b> </li><li>Choose <b>Notifications</b></li><li><b>Untick</b> the website that is sending the notifications. </li></ol> <p>Article no: 000008090</p> </article> </main>
