Yes.


If you’re on a Mac, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If the message reappears, disconnect the computer from the Internet for long enough to erase that site from the browser history.

If you’re on an iOS device, click here and follow the instructions in the first paragraph of the last section.

    Thank you very much. The number was trying to lead me to a website that would remote fix my problem.  Thank You.
