mac-virus.info pop up
When I am on safari, I am getting a pop up saying
From "mac-virus.info":

Now, I have tried cleaning my computer (not well, I am not a computer genius) with Sophos and they did not detect any threat. When the ad pops up on Safari I am unable to change the webpage and end up having to restart safari. The pop up loos official but not quite right so I looked up the number and I found that it is a scam. How do I get rid of this pop up and whatever it is doing to my Computer/Safari?
