This morning I received a message about a Java update to my already installed Java Runtime. I allowed the update and it failed. I allowed information to be sent to Apple. Later I received a Trojen horse alert. Are the incidents related?

What was the trojan horse message?

That's just a commonplace web scam. It has nothing to do with Java, or with "viruses" either.

I got the same thing and it will not let me in Safari...... What the frig?

This is a very old thread. You should start a new thread for prompt reply.

This is a scam popup. Don’t call the phone number if given.
