I have a question about win Notification (app) just to right of systray clock. Seems like spyware & how do you turn it off.
Context: I had been logged in to MT on a VM_guest running thru a vpn. I guess push was enabled when I logged in to MT. I later logged out of MT on VM, I left Edge open on VM and was using Chrome on VM and the on the HOST win10 I got a popup Notification that someone had replied to a MT thread I was watching. Huh??
I wondering HOW did this happen On the Host Edge was not running. On the VM I was logged out of MT. The Host & Guest had different ip addresses. I thought my VM Guest was basically isolated from Host, but I was getting Notifications on Host after I had logged out of MT on VM! Seems like something in win10 system is "spying" on my me. What is it and can it be turned off, if so, how? Or is this the new normal -- no expectations of privacy anywhere... (no malware detected on either my Host or VM Guest)
Sidenote: when I "played" some with Notification icon on Host, it gave me an option to disable Notifications from malwaretips.com, which I did, but how was the Host even detecting that I was logged into MT on the VM_Guest. I hope I explained clearly enough because I find this Notification app more than intrusive.
