"PROPERNETWORKSEARCH". What is it? How do I remove it from my iMac? I frequently get a popup window that has two response buttons: "DENY" or "ALLOW". I must deal with the window before I can do any other activity.
As you can see, it popped up even as I am writing this query.
What is it? And what can I do?
iMac 21.5", macOS 10.12
Download MalwareBytes from MacUpdate and see if it will remove it. You clicked on a link somewhere that installed the software as an add-on to browsers.
About Email and Other Scams
Apple always addresses you by your name or the name they have on file for you. The Email will be from apple.com or itunes.com. Email addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail > View > Message > Show all Headers to see more. Apple Emails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.
An exception to the above is when you order something from the Apple Store. The receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer.
Avoid Scams
Report phishing email to abuse@apple.com.
