      Hello.

      Less than a fortnight ago, I stupidly clicked on an image on what I thought was a genuine site. "Pixshark.com" then loaded up in Opera.

      It is clearly a scam site, but after running a full virus sweep, I couldn't see that it had done anything to my PC.

      Today, however, this notification popped up:
      0_1538933922460_Untitled.png

      Can anyone enlighten me as to what is on my PC and/or how to remove it? I know it's a Windows notification, but it specifically mentions Opera, so I thought the issue might be resident in the browser rather than Windows.

      Thanks!

        Check if notifications from that site are enabled. Check if they added an extension to Opera. Check if you still have a tab open to that site somewhere (which is what the message sounds most like).
