i’ve recently been getting notifications on my macbook that my pc is at risk and asks me to renew mcaffe, which is strange bc i never had that and it says it expired yesterday. after that i got notifications that someone from russia was trying to connect to my computer. what do i do?
Sounds like a scam.
If the notifications are appearing in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen, they're probably coming from a Web site. See Stop unwanted Notifications - Apple Community for instructions on how to block them.
If they're coming in through e-mail, delete the e-mails without calling any phone numbers in them, sending e-mail to any addresses in them, or clicking on any links in them.
