A notice comes up on my desktop "Navigation to the web page was cancelled" Can't get rid of it.

Hello,

The "Navigation to web page was cancelled" notice is a sign of a possible threat on your PC. We highly suggest that you run a full scan on your computer using the Windows Defender. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Type windows defender on the search bar.
• Click on Windows Defender.
• On the right panel, under Scan options, select Full.
• Click on Scan now.

If Windows Defender fails to detect any threats, we suggest that you run the
Windows Defender Offline. Windows Defender Offline is a powerful offline scanning tool. It can detect threats that might be hiding on your PC. To do so, kindly follow the steps in this article: Help
protect my PC with Windows Defender Offline.
