One popular notification type is web push notifications. If you’re anything like the rest of us you want to unsubscribe to these notifications almost as fast as you were duped into pressing the Subscribe button. It makes sense, web sites are always looking for you to subscribe to their content and notification feeds, and these are great ways for them to get you back to their site. Some of these notifications will help you get back to the content you like and enjoy. It might be helpful to have Google Chrome notifications enabled for specific websites or news sites you visit regularly. These notifications can easily be disabled in your browser in just a few steps by stopping the pop-up notifications in settings under Google Chrome.

But the reality is that they are getting notifications from a junky/spammy website they have visited in the past. Every now and then our customers call in thinking they are infected with malware or a virus because of excessive pop-ups which were very popular with malware several years ago. Sometimes that can be easy to remove a virus or a hijacked browser and sometimes it is a lot of painstaking manual effort. At Boxaid, our technicians do a lot of virus and malware removal.
