Pop ups appearing.
May 21st, 2024 at 2:08pm
 
I had that problem for 2 days  where I was getting a constant pop up in the bottom
right hand corner of my monitor for RT news - every 15 minutes.
I was worried - I thought I had malware -
I did scans etc found - nothing.
I checked .exe files to see if there was a program running -
couldn't see anything.


I finally solved it.
I use Firefox.

Go to the top right hand corner of a Firefox browser.
Click settings.
Look down the page:
Privacy and Security.
Notifications.
Settings.

Click block for that site and save settings.


I'll add that I blocked all notifications too.
It's worth it for everyone to have a look at where I said above.
Who has somehow got on your list of sites allowed to send you notifications
without ever obtaining your permission?
Websites are very cheeky.

I had never seen that before.
I'm happy now but it was something I should not have had to solve.
