I have been receiving a popup virus warning, claiming to be from Apple, warning me my system is infected. Trendmicro, my virus protection says my computer is clean and has no virus's.
Any idea what might be causing this and how to stop it?
I do not have Apple Care so I know something is funny.
Using a MacBook Pro with MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6
I've attached a screen shot of the warning.

It is indeed a scam. There are no viruses for Mac.
Look at the Browser's Address Bar. This is an HTML Document (Web page) --- there's nothing Application about it, so to speak.
You can take your part in assisting others out there to avoid this. Perform the following:
Clearing History and Cache - Apple Communities
Use this eMail address: reportphishing@apple.com
Malware is malicious software that makes your device(MacBook Pro) act in a mislead-manor. Download it Here: MalwareBytes for Mac. Then update MalwareBytes for Mac and run it.
Thank you all very much.
I ran the Malwarebytes for Mac and it seems to have found and solved the issue as I am no longer getting these.
I also forwarded the page to Apples reportphishing email.
Thank you again.
Thank you. I was sure of that, but how do I stop them from popping up? Every time I open my browser or change pages, it pops up again.
Thank you..
Well done. You are welcome!
Try running Malwarebytes.
