Since the last update I am flooded with virus alerts. How do I shut them off?

I am on a network with protection administered by an IT group. This problem started with the last update.

I'm assuming the virus alerts are notifications sent by suspicious websites through Firefox. It would be helpful if you can provide a screenshot to confirm this. If so:

Firefox Settings -> Permissions -> Notifications -> 1) Block new requests asking to allow notifications and 2) remove any websites in the list that you do not recognize.
