Hello @petercli

IF that "window" is on the forefront on your display, then press and HOLD the ALT key on keyboard and tap F4 key

That "should" close out that window.

In any event, do do these basic first additional steps.

See this article on our Malwarebytes Blog
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/technology/2019/01/browser-push-notifications-feature-asking-abused/

 

You want to disable the ability of each web browser on this machine from being able to allow "push ads". That means Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser (on Windows 10), or on Opera.

Scroll down to the tips section "How do I disable them".

 

Turn notifications on or off - Google Chrome

Web Push notifications in Firefox

PS.  This is not a "virus".  It is more than likely just a small popup window at the lower right side of the screen.  This seems to be like a "push" advertising window.

The ALT+F4 keys will remove the screen display.  But the additional adjustments on each browser need to be made.

Bravo.   

Let me suggest that you get your browsers each, as applicable, to have the Malwarebytes Browser Guard.

See Support article how-to

https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038520374-Install-Malwarebytes-Browser-Guard

For Firefox, get the Firefox extension.
The Windows EDGE browser is capable of using the same extension as the Chrome one.
Note: If your pc also has Opera or Brave or Vivaldi browser, you can install the Chrome version of the Malwarebytes Browser Guard ( on each as appropriate).

All the best to you.
