I keep getting Mozilla Firefox Pop Up Windows stating my System is infected via

nvtyk.magmaartisan.top.

I have run windows defender and avg anti-virus software to check my computer which cannot find a problem.

I have also tried to find where this is being called from within Firefox settings and windows services.

How do I get rid of this, am I infected and what can happen?

That looks like malware. This article may help.

Do you have a Push notification for the nvtyk.magmaartisan.top origin ? If that is the case, revoke it.

See "How do I revoke Web Push permissions for a specific site?"
