I have been getting a lot of these 2 pop ups saying there is a virus detected or my Mac is infected. Anyone ever came across this before? Getting worried whether this is legit (virus on my Mac) or something else. If it is a virus, how do I get rid of it??
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
It is a scam Do not click on Scan.
Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys).Then restart Safari holding the Shift key. If you still have problems Empty Caches (Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. (This will also remove history if you do not want to remove History open Safari Preferences > Advanced and check mark “Show Develop Menu” then choose “Empty Caches” from Develop Menu ) If the problem persists download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC. It gets rave reviews and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.
