[QUOTE="ehwj, post: 964399, member: 93544"] Topic just about says it all. On my iMac (Retina 5K, 2020) running MacOS 12.01 (most recent upgrade)/ I have several copies of Gofenews.com open on my Safari browser.. Each screen same except for the beginning four digit number asking for permission to show alerts in Notification Center. Found thread that basically going to Safari Preferences, click on Websites, then on Notifications and mark each instance of gofenews to "Deny". Then go to Malwarebytes, scan and remove all instances of the Gofenews.com All works well except for one big thing. Malwarebytes, v.4.13.5 does not find anything bad - No threats detected, no PUP's detected, no nothing. I'm left with several screens with the request to allow notifications. I remove each copy from Safari-.Preferences->Notifications. I Force Quit Safari, and click on restart and uncheck the box to reopen websites on startup. Restart Restart and have them all back when startup completes. Any hints, suggstions, thoughts???? ehw [/QUOTE]
