Hi all. I'm running a beta of Mac OS but that shouldn't be a huge deal. I get this Ask you, you ned click allow to confirm not a robot or some such thing. Nothing in notifications and I want it gone. clean my Mac X doesn't do the job, try to get spy hunter but it wouldn't install after I accepted the terms and ULA. Does anyone have an accessible program, hopefully free or very cheap, to get this over with? I've googled until my hands are dead. thanks. also, if i've posted this before, sorry but I didn't even search before posting. Help me. :)

You could try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware; it’s free as long as you perform on-demand scanning of the system.

Can you provide more details on the issues you're seeing so that the community can hopefully offer better and more targeted assistance? For example, what version of macOS Beta are you running? What version of Safari are you running? How often does this human verification request appear? Can you clarify exactly what happens when the request appears, including your attempts to get around it and what results from those attempts? Does the request only show up on certain sites you visit, or on every site you visit? When the request appears, does the URL in Safari's address bar coincide with the URL or domain name you were expecting to see, or is it something entirely different? Do you have any ad blockers or related products installed? Do you have a recent backup to which you can restore if necessary? Are other browsers (or other applications with web views) affected by the issue as well, or is it limited only to Safari? Do you remember making any significant changes to your Mac before this issue began?

It was all in the notification settings. Go to websites, down to notifications, then go over to the settings for each website, removing what's needed. Problem now, I wish I could delete all of them at once, have like 20 of them Google to the rescue.
