icloud storage pop-ups HOW TO STOP THEM

Friend has icloud storage pop-ups every 20 seconds. I've disabled all the startup icloud* programs and uninstalled program "icloud outlook". (He says he's never used icloud mail nor wanted to sync icloud/microsopft emails.)
Seemed to work after a reboot. But 45 mins later the icloud boxes come up again and icloud tray icon starts at bottom right-hand-corner. This has no exit key. Next steps:-
1. check for icloud app(s) that doesn't appear under Control Panel/Programs
2. attempt to stop popups at "Notifications & actions". (but the popups aren't windows notification - they look like real icloud app windows.)
3. is there a tool I can use to see how the icloud tray icon starts up?

Browser extension? I've run Malwarebytes (not Adwcleaner). extension with malware? The icloud windows come up even with no browser running but i guess they just need to run once to load the extensions and do whatever damage at that point. Other weird thing is the randomness of the icloud windows coming up but I guess that's not difficult to implement.debitcardmayhem said:Probably a broswer installed think, I would run Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner0 -
May also be website notifications from a browser - the kind where you get asked if you want to allow notifications when you go on the website.
You've not mentioned the operating system or browser(s) used so I can't really be specific but somewhere in settings/notifications is worth checking.1 -
