What happened
Microsoft Edge can now switch off website notifications from sites that send people to known scam pages. This stops fake virus warnings from repeatedly appearing on a computer after someone has clicked Allow once.

What to do
- Update Microsoft Edge to version 156 or later to get this protection.
- Review blocked sites in Edge Settings and restore any notifications you believe were blocked in error.
- Disable notifications from any website that shows unexpected security alerts via the menu on the notification.
- Do not click Allow on notification prompts that claim you must confirm you are not a robot.
