Zoom Malware?
I closed my Zoom Window and a page opened from Apple asking me to allow Apple to scan my disk for a virus. Is this real? I see similar scams on the community support webpage but most are old.

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.
That is good to hear. This one looked very real.
Thanks!!
