Ignore the suggestion provided by miyalung. You do not need to install Java.

  • "The only correct response to those bogus messages is to ignore them. Close the web page.
  • If you can't close the page, please read Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popups and web pages for the solution.
  • Consider clearing Safari's history so that you don't inadvertently navigate back to the same bogus webpage.
  • Never react to such a popup by downloading and installing some magical fix for a problem that doesn't exist.
  • There are no consequences to the mere appearance of these phony "updaters".
  • As long as you did not succumb to the attempted scam by downloading whatever junk it's attempting to convince you to download, no other action is necessary, or justified."
