Windows 10/11 fake notifications
Twice I have run into nonstop Windows 10/11 false notifications on the right of the screen. In both cases they were mostly McAfee alerts, with no McAfee installed. Interesting, after connecting remotely with LogMeIn’s GoToAssist, I then received some identically formatted notifications, but with a header of GoToAssist and a message, your computer is being accessed from Russia. Obviously, it is monitoring activity and adjusting. One client noted it started after downloading a document from a Pinterst site.
This a Chrome browser issue. In trouble shooting determined it is linked to one Chrome profile. Searching the Internet shows the common fix is to completely disable notifications in Chrome (Settings / Privacy and security / Site settings / Notifications / don’t allow sites to send notifications). I feel this is dealing with the symptoms not the problem. The solution was to delete the user’s profile. To do so, when Opening Chrome it will show available profiles. On the affected profile click on the 3 dots in the top right of the icon and select delete. As it will warn, be aware this will delete all user information such as passwords, cookies, bookmarks, and browsing history. You may want to export Bookmarks before deleting.
