Weird notification popups on manjaro XFCE

[Stathis_Kan_i5]

Hello Everyone!
Last night I used my PC (intel i5 10400f, 16Gb RAM, Radeon RX7600 8Gb), with manjaro XFCE and these notifications appeared on the top of the screen:

Probably I have a virus. I installed ClamTK, I scanned for viruses and it didnt found anything. These notification are still appearing.

Also my entire system is in English but somehow (probably because of my IP) they know I am greek and the notifications are in greek.

Is there anything I can do for that? Any package to install, or can I delete them manually? I dont want to reinstall manjaro and setting up everything again.

Thanks for your attention!

It would be helpful to know what those are or where they come from.

Do you have a phone connected to your system somehow?

Are these browser notifications?

What do they even say?

(Its all greek to me. )

Thanks for the respond!

I dont know what notifications are these. They are ads about losing weight. I dont have any phone connected to the PC.

By the way I have Firefox. Can I somehow check if the notifications are coming from there?

I mean is there any list in firefox that shows where notifications are coming from?

I might first look in

journalctl --user -u xfce4-notifyd

Which will hopefully have more information.

Looks like you allowed notifications from a browser.

I would remove the profile and start anew.

This is the output, if itt makes any sense:

$ journalctl --user -u xfce4-notifyd

That’s what I thought as well.

I’ve changed the title to properly describe the observed behaviour.

Interesting enough that seems to show your desktop notifications service failing.

systemctl --user status xfce4-notifyd

I would probably guess that what others have said is likely the case - that these come from the browser.

I have looked around and I cant seem to find any firefox notification history. It seems that ‘native notifications’ was the aim, and the expectation is that the desktop will manage the history.

Thank you all for your help!
I searched in the settings of firefox and I found out that I had accidentally allowed the notifications from this site.

I removed this website and I hope I will not see any notification again. But is there any way to check If i have been hacked?
