I keep getting this application pop up: Do you want the application "SearchGeneralSignal" to accept incoming network connections? I had my local computer shop clean my Air and it quit for a while, but it is back. I have to deny or accept. Any ideas?

How do I stop this "SearchGeneralSignal" popup? What is it even for?

It's Adware.


The free Malwarebytes may take care of it...
