Close pop-up ads


Start by closing any pop-ups that are open.

  • If a pop-up on your Mac includes a "Don't show more alerts from this webpage" checkbox, select the checkbox before closing the pop-up.

If a pop-up won't close:

To add to dominic23 advice if no resolve—


Uninstall all third party Anti-virus, it causes nothing but issue on the Mac and interferes with Apples own built in security.



Pop ups like this are often phishing adware/malware that slipped through he cracks

If you suspect you have installed adware/malware. Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
