When I use Chrome, it shows viruses detected, what should I do

Today, I suddenly received lots of notifications from Chrome. it said that viruses detected. I opened that notification and found that it shows four things had problems and made some noises sounds, like big problems happening. At that situation, I was curious what should I do? Now, I delete the App, but I am afraid that some viruses may be installed since I opened that notification.

Blow it Off:

There are no viruses on your Mac. So, no worries there.


Malwarebytes for Mac:

Where did you get this version of Google Chrome? If it was not from Google, then might be the reason for all these messages. Always get something from the manufacturer/developer, and nowhere else. So, run Malwarebytes for Mac, remove whatever is found from the quarantine, and then restart the Mac.
