This pop up keeps happening on my Mac. I have tried to enter the password and it won’t go away if I press allow or deny. Now I can’t access the internet. I don’t know how it happened. I updated my Mac and now have this problem. Can anyone help please? I’m not confident about downloading other apps in order to fix it. What have I done wrong?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

No ! The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
There are Malware-viruses and Adware-viruses that does affect macOS and are often times downloaded as part of an Application from Third Party UnTrusted Site and get installed along with the Application. For that purpose >>>
Suggest downloading from a Respected ASC Contributor the application Malwarebytes for Mac. It is free or paid for added features. Run the Application and it should remove the malware / adware. Once done, restart computer and test.
Thank you. Yes Norton is installed on my Mac but has been for a while without this issue. It may have happened in a recent update. If I remove Norton do I then re install it?
