Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Should I allow (or deny) response to warning (yellow triangle!) message:

Message continues to pop up: Do you want the application "GlobalAdviseSearch" to accept incoming network connections?


I don't recognize the application. It seems to appear randomly.


iMac 27", macOS 10.13

Neither !!! It could be related to the site you are visiting don't go back to that site or sites....and just close the browser when you get a popup or turn off your Mac if it persists.
