After visiting a video conversion site, I am now getting panic notifications about "updating virus protection", which appear to stem from a supprinic site. Obviously something bad got into my computer but how to get rid of it? I downloaded Intego virus protection, and it finds no problem. I have deleted permanently any files download from conversion site and these notifications still appear.....

Hi Nick,
Does this look like a system notification which is the gray rectangle on the top right of the screen?
If so then this is most likely a website notification. Unfortunately there is no way to distinguish these from legit alerts.
Here are the steps to get rid of these alerts.
1. Open the Safar Settings (Preferences in Monterey or earlier)
2. On top click on Websites.
3. On the left scroll down and select Notifications.
4. Remove everything in the list on the right.
5. Uncheck Allow websites to ask for permissions to send notifications
6. Quit Safari.
7. Restart your Mac.
You should no longer see the alerts anymore.
