There are 5 different pop ups coming every minute or so with the system preferences cog from 1. SYSTEM ALERT - 115 New Notifications, 2. SYSTEM FILE IS DAMAGED - Turn On Your Antivirus, 3. (13) Malicious Viruses Detected - Click Here to Renew Antivirus, 4. McAfee: Viruses Found (5) - To Remove Virus Click Here and 5. Virus Infects Your PC! - Turn On Your Antivirus Now.
Any help would be appreciated on how to remove these

  5. In the left sidebar, click on "Notifications."
  6. Select each website from the list and click on "Remove" to revoke its permission to send notifications.

Let me know if you still see those pop-ups.
