2. Fa'atusatusaga Fa'atasi: Fake Web Push Scareware vs. Real Antivirus Alerts¶

Phase 1: Complete Step-by-Step Browser Notification & Service Worker Purge (Windows & Mac)¶

Because many users have both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (or Safari/Brave/Firefox) installed on the same computer, always check all browsers installed on your machine, especially Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 11, which runs in the background at Windows startup even if you normally browse with Chrome.

1. Google Chrome (Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook)¶

1. Open Google Chrome, click the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner, and select Settings (or type chrome://settings/content/notifications directly into the address bar and press Enter).
2. Scroll down past "Default behavior" to the section labeled "Customized behaviors" -> "Allowed to send notifications".
3. Inspect every website listed under "Allowed to send notifications":
4. Legitimate entries look like https://mail.google.com:443 pe https://calendar.google.com:443.
5. Malicious entries look like random domains (https://recaptchaverify-04.com:443, https://news-stream-hd.xyz:443, https://s3.amazonaws.com..., or any site you do not recognize).
6. Click the three vertical dots (⋮) to the right of every unrecognized website and click Remove (or Block).
7. Lock the front door so no website can ever ask again: Scroll back up to "Default behavior" on that same page and select "Don't allow sites to send notifications" (or select "Use quieter messaging").
8. Delete the background Service Worker and site data:
9. Ituaiga chrome://serviceworker-internals in the Chrome address bar and press Enter.
10. Press Ctrl + F (po o Cmd + F), search for the suspicious domain name (or click Unregister on any unfamiliar Scope: URLs).
11. Ituaiga chrome://settings/system in the address bar and turn OFF "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" so Chrome cannot run hidden background workers when closed.

2. Microsoft Edge (Windows 10 & Windows 11: Very Common Hidden Culprit)¶

Even if you use Chrome or Firefox as your daily browser, a single accidental click inside an Edge link opened from Windows Search, Outlook, or Teams can register a rogue Edge notification worker that runs silently every time Windows boots: 1. Open Microsoft Edge, type edge://settings/content/notifications i totonu o le pusa o le tuatusi, ma omi le Enter. 2. Va'ai i lalo o le "Allow" ulutala i le pito i lalo o le itulau. 3. Kiliki le tolu togitogi faalava (...) next to every website you do not recognize and click Remove or Block. 4. Toggle OFF "Ask before sending (recommended)" at the top of the page so websites cannot display permission prompts in the future. 5. Ituaiga edge://settings/system into the Edge address bar and toggle OFF "Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed".

3. Apple Safari (macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, Ventura, Monterey)¶

I luga o le Mac, Safari Web Push faʻamatalaga e foliga tutusa ma faʻasalalauga faʻapitoa macOS i le tulimanu pito i luga taumatau o lau lau: 1. Open Safari, click Safari in the top-left Apple menu bar, and select Settings... (or Preferences...). 2. Click the Websites tab at the top of the settings window, then scroll down the left-hand sidebar and click Notifications. 3. Look at the list of websites in the center pane: - Select every website marked "Allow" that you do not explicitly trust and click the Remove button at the bottom of the list (or change its dropdown from Allow to Deny). 4. Crucial Mac Step: At the very bottom of that window, uncheck the box reading "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications". Once unchecked, no website on Earth can ever show you a notification prompt in Safari again. 5. Also open Apple Menu () > System Settings > Notifications on your Mac and check the list of applications: if you see any strange website names listed directly alongside your Mac apps under Application Notifications, click them and toggle Allow Notifications to OFF.

4. Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Mozilla Firefox¶

• Brave Browser: Type brave://settings/content/notifications in the address bar -> remove all unfamiliar sites under "Allowed to send notifications" -> select "Don't allow sites to send notifications".
• Opera / Opera GX: Type opera://settings/content/notifications in the address bar -> remove unfamiliar domains under "Allowed to send notifications".
• Mozilla Firefox: Type about:preferences#privacy in the address bar -> scroll down to Permissions > Notifications -> click Settings... -> click Remove All Websites -> check "Block new requests asking to allow notifications" -> click Save Changes.

Phase 2: Removing Fake Virus Notifications & Calendar Spam on Smartphones (Android & iPhone)¶

Mobile phones are prime targets for fake virus scareware because scammers want you to panic and pay for a fake $49.99/month "Mobile Security Cleaner" app or enter your iCloud/Google credentials.

1. Android Phones & Tablets (Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus)¶

On Android, fake virus notifications come from one of two sources: (A) Chrome/Samsung Internet Web Push Notifications, or (B) a rogue "Flashlight / PDF Reader / QR Scanner / Battery Cleaner" app you recently installed. Here is how to identify and kill it in 60 seconds:

1. The 2-Second Long-Press Diagnostic Test:
2. Swipe down your Android notification shade so you can see the fake virus notification.
3. Press and hold (long-press) your finger directly on the fake virus notification banner for 2 seconds (without tapping its action buttons).
4. The notification will flip or expand to show the exact name and icon of the app that generated it at the top of the card, along with a Gear icon (⚙) or "Turn off notifications":
5. If the Long-Press Shows Chrome (po o Samsung Internet / Brave):
6. Tap the Gear icon (⚙) > Site settings right on that notification and tap Clear & reset / Notifications -> Off.
7. Then open Chrome on Android > Three-dot menu (⋮) > Settings > Site settings > Notifications:
   • Under Allowed, tap every unfamiliar website domain and tap Delete & reset (or toggle notifications Off).
   • Also go to Chrome > Settings > Site settings > All sites, find any unfamiliar domains using storage, and tap Delete data & reset permissions.
8. (If using Samsung Internet: Open Samsung Internet -> tap the Three horizontal lines (≡) in the bottom-right -> Settings > Sites and downloads > Notifications -> Three dots (⋮) > Allow or block sites -> turn off all unfamiliar websites.)
9. Afai e Fa'aalia e le Lomiga umi se App e le masani ai (po'o se App ma se Fa'ailoga Avanoa/Le Vaaia):
10. Tatala lau Android Settings> Apps> See all apps.
11.

Va'ai i le pito i luga po'o le pito pito i lalo ole lisi o tusi talosaga mo se fa'amatalaga e leai se igoa po'o se lapo'a uiga ese, ta'i, ma tap Uninstall.
12. Afai o le Uninstall button ua efuefu, alu i le Settings> Security & privacy> More security settings> Device admin apps, aveese le faailoga o le rogue app's Device Administrator privilege, ona aveese lea.

2. Apple iPhone & iPad (iOS / iPadOS)¶
