MacBook Air - System error alerts from ujokegimi.sbs. "Click here to scan!" I have not clicked but it keeps popping up Suddenly I'm getting messages on the alert in the upper right corner of my screen on MacBook Air. Sometimes it tells me to subscribe to Norton, or to click to scan, or to turn on my antivirus. I realize it's phishing, but the alerts will not stop. I tried rebooting but it's still here.

Do you have McAfee anti virus installed on your Mac? If you do, I second Ruskes suggestion that you remove it completely. If not, these pop-up could potentially be a form of malware.

I would uninstall McAfee virus

Then run the app called EtreCheck to see the report
