"Viruses Found" Pop Ups

Keep getting multiple "virus found/detected" popups from Firefox. Microsoft full scan and installed McAfee do not indicate any virus.

Are these small popups on the bottom right corner of Firefox windows?. If so then these may just be web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications. Instead of useful information some may send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan alerts etc.
