It is fake. No one outside your computer can scan your computer for viruses. There are no know viruses that affect Macs. If you want to check for adware/malware, try downloading this program which was written by Thomas R, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After running the scans, restart the computer.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac 10.10 and later

I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran it. It found some items and deleted them. Ran it again to be sure and it showed clean. This was a quick download and easy to use software. I would recommend it for anyone with this issue
Thanks, I will give it a try
As you can imagine, Malwarebytes gets regularly recommended here. 😎
You are welcome.
