This is exactly what the message I have received says:


"www.apple.com-fasting.live says


IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED


WE HAVE DECTECTED A TROGAN VIRUS (E.TRE456_WORM-OSZ) ON YOUR MAC.


PRESS OK TO BEGIN THE REPAIR PROCESS"



Is this message a scam? What do I do about it?

Scam..... Apple does not send out those types of messages or alerts.
