Hi

Just today I am seeing various rubbish popping up on my desktop - please see image attached.

I run Bitdefender which hasn't detected any issues, is there another tool I should use to remove this or a Windows setting to change?

Thanks!

Dave

You probably accepted a push notification in Chrome

Go here in a browser tab

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under "Reset and cleanup,” click Reset Settings and then Reset Settings.
