Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading: FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

FaceTime is not a virus. It has been an OS X feature for more than three years, and is considered a required OS X component. You may drag it out of the Dock, but make no attempt to delete it from Applications.

If you don't want to use FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, select Preferences, and turn it off.

That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?

It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshotof the popup and post it in a reply.

To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.

If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.

When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:

This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.

The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.

⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.

⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

Yes. Me. Every single restart or boot. Nothing stops it: not running the program and choosing “off” from the preferences, not deleting the FaceTime Preferences from the Library folder, not even deleting FaceTime (I have _Skype_ and I’ve liked it fine for years) with the Terminal. Apple seems to want you on FaceTime and is willing to nag you for as long as it takes. Just one instance among many of the increasingly Microsofty side of the Apple of recent years. Unless someone can suggest better I’ll go on hitting “Cancel” twice (the box re-appears) every time I start my computer until I can’t stand it any more, after which I’ll revert my Retina Mac to Snow Leopard or some such version of system. The better integration promised between iPads, desk and laptop Macs sounded, well, promising, but I didn’t pay for a Retina Mac to deal with Big Brother.

I am experiencing this problem as well. Has this been addressed or resolved? It does look like a virus since there is no way to stop or close the popup...

This just happened to me for the first time. Is there any info on what causes it or how to prevent it yet?
