Webarchive cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

When I save a web page in Safari (Safari > File > Save as > Format: Web Archive), then try to open this saved file I often get a dialog box saying:

“ Filename .webarchive” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

johesx.co.in malware hawking Norton I usually run Chrome, but opened Safari on my Mac for the first time in months, then closed. Ever since, I am getting prompts ever 10 or 15 seconds in the upper right corner of my screen with the Safari logo and claiming I have viruses or need to renew Norton with some outfit named johesx.co.in. I ran a deep scan with CleanmyMac and their malware scanner and it doesn't show up. Anyone else have this problem? So sorry I opened Safari.

Safari randomly opens with a blue magnifying glass application Hi everyone, So about four months ago I started to notice that safari keeps opening randomly, downloading with it each time it opens a blue magnifying glass application (the application image is a magnifying glass) and I was wondering how I could fix this problem. It could potentially be a 'helper' that safari installs in order for it to run efficiently, but I suspect it's some sort of virus, because recently one of these helpers was downloaded, named 'Deafult...'. I forgot the entire name, but the misspell of default as 'Deafult' has led me to believe that this is some kind of malware. Help regarding how to get rid of this problem is greatly appreciated.
