How do I stop unwanted notifications from "update-macos.com" fake site on my MacBook?

I keep receiving pop-up messages from a site called update-macos.com telling me a have certain viruses. Presumably this is a fake site?

Hi VikingOSX,

I think I may have misread yours and others advice. I eventually managed to stop the pop-ups by going into Safari Settings -> Websites -> Notifications (in the LH panel of the dialogue window) and there was 'updates-macos.com' on the list shown as being allowed to show alerts. I highlighted the website and clicked 'Deny' and then later removed it for good measure.

Thank you all for your help. :-)
