It has been well over five years since I've had any kind of malware on my MacBooks that create false Notifications, alerting to malware in Safari that does not exist in order to steal information or sell antivirus software. As I recall, to get rid of it before, it was a matter of deleting the Safari cache and web history. I've done that and more. I've looked through the Activity Monitor, looked through the /Library/ and ~/Library/ folders, deleted Safari's cache and web history, run ClamXAV, run Etrecheck Pro (paid), downloaded and run CleanMyMac X (I have a paid version but usually just maintain the license without having it installed on my device), run Onyx, etc., trying to stop these Notifications. They have persisted. With the exception of some processes identified in a separate post about suspicious iPhone processes, I have not located any system processes that would be generating these false Notifications.
Anyone know what might be causing it? I can only think that maybe its something from my Mail cache that is creating these Notifications, but I don't know how Mail would be creating Notifications in Safari.
It's very aggravating.
