Hello,

First check

  • Go to Menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Scroll down to the Permissions section.
  • Find Notifications and click to it.
  • Look for any websites in the list that you don't recognize and
  • Change the Status to Block or Remove
  • Click Save Changes.

And then run a scan using the Windows Security and/or your Antivirus software

and you can download the free version of Malwarebytes to check your pc.

You can share a printscreen too.
