WebBoostSeach

Malware WebBoostSeach keeps popping up on my screen asking to accept their services. There is a 'Deny' button then the popup disappears but I feel unsecure about what is actually happening. Any guidance welcome, thank you!

It sounds like this could be related to malware that is on your Mac. There are a couple of things you can do to resolve this.


One way is to update your Mac. ‘Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your Apple product's security.’ You can read about Apple’s security updates here:
