Hey there,
I recently found this popping up on my desktop a couple of times already now.
Looks like an advertisement, but I've never seen such thing happen until just a month ago.
When I pressed F3 my laptop labeled it "CUHARM64" as you can see on the image.
Is this a virus or did I just not configure some safari ad blocker right?
Thank you all!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4
This is not a virus, Macs are not prone to viruses. This can be a bad safari extension, pleaser take note of your extensions via safari>safari in menu bar>preferences>extensions
You can also scan your Mac with the free version of malwarebytes if you're afraid that there is malware on your system

I've had this since yesterday too. It really does look/behave like a virus. Did you figure any new information? Mine looks exactly the same, with the black friday on the background, the X on the side which doesn't really close as usual and with the same CUHARM64 name.
Interesting, no haven't really figured out anything new. I scanned for viruses using Malwarebytes, but the software says I'm safe. So I assume it's alright. But I'll keep watching whether it pops up again. Really weird, since random ads never happend to me before either. Plus recently my screen started flickering (just for a fraction of a second, and only once every second day or so) and it really didn't do anything, but maybe it's just my laptop getting old :/
Let me know if you have any news!
I uninstalled Corel draw just in case that has anything to do with it. I’ll keep you posted if I see it coming back but for now it’s been good! I was also worried as my letters looked blurrier than usual but that could also be ME getting old lol
I have no active extensions I just looked it up. But thank you very much! This is a relief, I will also go check out the malwarebites, just to be sure!
Yeah, to be sure is maylwarebytes a fine tool. If there is any malware, it will find it.
Is this a virus?
