I keep getting repetitive pop up notifications stating different warnings such as "Norton License Expired", McAfee License has expired", "system alert click here to remove it via Microsoft Edge", "Turn on your firewall", etc.

    Hi! Let me help you.

    It may be a site notification from Microsoft Edge.

    Please follow the steps below on how to remove the pop-up notifications.

    Open Microsoft Edge.

    Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner and choose Settings.

    Select Privacy, search, and services.

    Scroll down and click Site permissions.

    Choose All permissions, then select Notifications.

    Under Customized behaviors, review the websites that are allowed or blocked. Look for any unusual or malicious websites that you are not familiar with (Something that may end in co.in)

    To stop notifications from a specific website, click the three dots next to the site and select Block or Remove. To allow notifications from a site, add it to the Allow list if needed.

    This process removed a website from notifications, but the problem persists. Will try to repeat the effort.
