Does My Mac Actually Have 2 Viruses And 1 Spyware?

one time when I made a new tab in safari it said I had two viruses and 1 spyware with a apple logo.

Is This Real Or Fake As It Had A Timer.

iPad, iPadOS 17

Virus in the Browser of my MacBook Air A message with the Safari logo telling me that I have a 13 virus in my Browser from "bolingor.co.in" comes up on top right hand of the screen. If I hover the mouse over it the screen then goes to a full screen asking me to use McAffee Total Security. Is that OK or is it part of the scam?

MaleWare Scam? I was downloading a minecraft texture pack when I mis clicked on a random website! I it said that I got malware on my Mac I checked my notifications which was getting spammed about a malware and it was from settings but it only has the settings picture/logo and didn’t have a name so I just removed all my websites from sending notifications besides chess.com and Instagram. I was wondering if I did get malware on my Mac Air or is it just a scam?

It's a scam. A message warning of malware will only be legitimate if you manually started a scanner or uploaded a file to a website.
