Hey Hi
I keep getting these pop-ups in my Safari browser that appear for a few seconds and disappear. I can barely read them and they're gone. One says Security Notification You have (1) new security update.
Others have more dire warnings. What are they and how do I rid myself of them
I've emptied caches in develop menu and I'm not sync'd to other devices.
Thanks
