Some toxic backlinks are not terrible or urgent. Check each one to see where it is from. When possible remove these toxic links if they're not necessary. Usually any degree of Toxic links do more bad than good.
Afterwards make sure to do a removal request for a URL which contained a Toxic link and then re index it using Search Console or Sitemap and pull the updates page(s) into GOogle, Bing and others afterwards.

### Comment 2

First of all, check to see if those links are really from spammy websites. If they happen to be from a respected website but only located on a crowded page with 100 other links, try to ask that site’s administrator to break down the list into more than one page where your link won’t be so crowded. When you are sure that a link is really undesirable, Web CEO helps you report it to Google, so it will be ignored by the search engine when analyzing your overall backlink profile.

To report links, go to Backlink Quality Check > Toxic links, check the necessary links and click the “Report selected links to Google” button in the upper panel. Then follow the presented instructions to proceed with disavowing the harmful links.
