MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2. You do not have a virus. It is a notification that was granted and can be easily removed. Go to Safari > Settings > Websites > Notifications and deny all.

So you could store just about every malware known to mankind on your Mac, and your Mac would not get infected spontaneously. Scanning for virus-like patterns might make you feel a little better now, but it is outdated nonsense. Nothing can become Executable Unless/Until you supply your Admin password to "make it so". Niel.

Here are some links that describe Apple's built-in malware protection, which are far superior: macOS - Security - Apple. Protecting against malware in macOS - Apple Support.
