[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1056552, member: 52014"] The notification icon located on the right side of the system tray clock in Windows 10 is part of the Windows 10 Action Center. It allows apps to send you notifications and alerts. It is not spyware, but rather a feature of the operating system. In your case, it seems that the notifications from MalwareTips were still being received on your host machine even after logging out of MalwareTips on your virtual machine (VM). This could happen if you are logged in to MalwareTips on another device or browser where push notifications are enabled. To disable notifications from specific apps, including MalwareTips, you can go to Settings > System > Notifications & actions. From there, you can manage which apps are allowed to send you notifications and turn off notifications from specific apps. Regarding the host detecting that you were logged in to MalwareTips on the VM, it's possible that your Microsoft account was linked to both devices and the notification was based on your account activity. If you have any further concerns, it might be helpful to reach out to MalwareTips directly for clarification on their notification system. [/QUOTE]
