I'm getting popups notifications on my Mac that are purporting to be AV notifications about bank fraud and other things, that, if clicked on, take me to a fake McAfee web page using the URL undescoidecimy.com. I feel like Sophos should be blocking these, but can't figure out if I'm missing a setting or something that would change the behavior. Any suggestions? Screenshots attached. This happens multiple times a day.
Hi John,
Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.
I suggest checking if you have allowed the web browser to generate notifications on your desktop. I was able to find the following guidance on how to check which notifications are enabled. Let me know if this helps.

To prevent the website from being accessible, I suggest sending in a website reclassification request using the following form. You will first need to select "Web Address (URL)" then fill out the fields. I went ahead and did this for the mentioned website. In the event you encounter similar issues in the future, the same page may come in handy.

Looks like blocking notifications from Safari should do the trick, and looking at the notification history (see attached screenshot) it looks like these spam notifications are all there are, so I shouldn't be blocking anything desirable. Thanks for the help.
