I'm quite confident that the notification didn't get set by any software I installed, everything I've installed was either registered software or software I've been using for years.

I've never heard of softonics before so there's no way I've set it up myself.

Still, I've learned something new which is always good.

And yes, I'm rid of those popups, so I'm happy. :smile:
Cheers, Claude.

It might have come along with Google Chrome - I assume that you downloaded and installed that...
Best wishes,
