I had Accuweather on my computer and inadvertently clicked on enable notification.
When I start my computer I get 3 boxes. One with weather, one with hockey scores and one more window.
I have deleted the accuweather short cut but these three boxes keep popping up.
Would love to know how to stop this.
Thanks

Deleting the shortcut does nada...delete the aoo via add/remove...

Thanks for the help but I can't find it.
-
add/remove programs via control panel...

I looked in there a few times and can't find anything that shouldn't be there.

Then i would run all your Malware scans...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

When you see the pop up move your mouse over it, it should show a gear icon for its settings. Select that and turn off the notification.
Or you may have enabled by mistake this program to display notifications in your browser.
In Chrome
Go to Google Browser settings and type "site settings" in the search box. Go into site settings and under the recent activity you will find www.accuweather.com. Click into that website site setting and find the button for "Reset Permissions" Click the button for "Reset Permissions and that should set notifications back to ask or simply change the notifications to "block".
In Edge, go to the three dots found in the upper right. Click on it and select settings and then site permissions. Scroll down to the bottom under allow and remove the accuweather url.
It could be because Accuweather has been enabled in notifications in windows.
go into notifications! Settings > System > Notifications & actions > scroll down > click slider to off on anything you don't want notifications from .

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
