I keep getting a pop-up message that my browser is infected with 13 viruses but when I click on the message:follow it up, I get the distinct impression they want me to take a Norton Anti-virus subscription!

You're welcome. I just edited Stop unwanted Notifications - Apple Community to emphasize the need to remove Notifications from Safari's settings and not System settings. That important distinction appears to have been frequently misunderstood, especially considering the fact they can appear even when you're not using Safari.
And for browsers other than Safari, that document addresses them as well.

Read and follow these instructions: Stop unwanted Notifications - Apple Community
It's a scam. A message warning of malware will only be legitimate if it's in response to manually starting a scanner or uploading a file to a website.

Thank you John; I have followed your instructions, but I seem unable to get rid of the (Norton) notifications, which are not listed in the notifications overview
SorryJohn, I have now completely cleaned up my Safari notifications settings (I had left a few notifications e.g. from apple.nl) and now it works out perfectly well. Many thanks and have a nice day!
