    Hello, has to do with a Secutity update.

     

    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

     

    Try this cure for Security update...

    The locations are actually...

     

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

     

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist

     

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

     

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist

     

    Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

     

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

     

    Then Apply.
