Fake Tech support popup on Mac I keep getting fake Virus alerts on my Mac. Luckily I know they are fake, because they want money. I think its from an app I installed a while ago. I uninstalled the app, but the popups are still coming. Is there a cache I need to clear or something?

I found an app called "Open" in the list of login items - can anyone identify what it is? Hi all, I'm currently on Ventura 13.1 on my iMac and noticed in the list of applications to Open at Login there is something called, "Open." It says it's an item from unidentified developer (see below). When I click on the information icon, it brings me to the bin folder to an item called "Open." I'm curious to see if this is a legitimate - does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance!

If you're certain you have malware, Malwarebytes would be the easiest solution.
