[QUOTE="ehwj, post: 964795, member: 93544"] Hello Jack. Was about to try KnockKnock as suggested by MacDefender, even downloaded the app. Then saw your suggestion and tried it. Once unchecked the "Allow websites to ask permission to send push notifications", I was able to delete the instances of the "allow" screens like the previous screenshot I posted. Deleted all references to gofenews shown in the Safari Preferences and ran Malwarebytes again. Again I go 0 threats. I believe it that did the trick. Question: is it save to recheck "Allow websites to ask permission to push notifications"? [/QUOTE]
