A web browser opens with that in it, or it's on screen without any browser window?
It is a Google Chrome notification that comes up. I will attempt to disable the Chrome notifications.
I just rebooted and it did not come back. I'm glad to be rid of it.

You may have already used this, but this (found via search) will potentially allow you to remove any sites that have that set:
How to remove/disable notifications in web browsers:
Google Chrome (PC):
Click the Menu button (three dots) on the right upper corner of the screen
Select "Settings", scroll down to the bottom and click "Advanced"
Scroll down to the "Privacy and security" section, select "Content settings" and then "Notifications"
Click three dots on the right hand side of each suspicious URL and click "Block" or "Remove" (if you click "Remove" and visit the malicious site once more, it will ask to enable notifications again)
I gave up using Chrome after it had been hacked numerous times and went back to using Opera which never gets hacked but is basically Chrome with a new face and better features.

Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening
The problem I had with Opera was that no bank, credit card company etc. I visited would support it.
Young enough to remember doing it;
Old enough to wish I could do it again.
I went to Reimage Repair and paid them to fix my computer. They eliminated the issues I described.
No more objectionable sites showed up this morning.
They is the technician that came online and cleaned my computer.
Unlikely to be MS. They never have been willing to log in remotely and fix anything, at least that I'm aware of. More likely some computer repair service that set up a remote session and did this for him. Many out there are not trustworthy, but I'm sure Lowell was careful about it.
Hopefully, it wasn't this one: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topi...omment-1089766
