I believe there is malware on my computer because when i open up the internet, pop-ups show up in the bottom right corner. When i conduct a scan, the scanner says no virus found. Whats the solution?

Are you seeing this in Edge, Chrome, or both?
Most likely this is Not a virus, it’s likely site notifications or a PUA/extension.

To Fix this block notifications, remove extensions, clear cookies, enable Defender PUA protection, uninstall suspicious apps, run a full/offline scan.
