i'm getting a security warning saying that my internet is infected with malicious virus.
MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down.
Nearly all of these so-called “free” movie sites are now infested with invasive malware hiding behind roll-overs, and deceptive click here, or download now buttons. Visit them at the risk of another “security warning” that did not originate from OS X or Apple.
I recommend making a quick HTML file with TextEdit with the contents of:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>test document</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>This is a test document</BODY>
</HTML>
And click save as HTML document. You can drag it over Safari so the next time you launch Safari after force quitting it does not default to any page that might have the virus popup warning. And you may want to set that as your default page to open to everytime.
Mind you, many of these movies that are "free" have certain copyright protections from their owners and should not be viewed "free." So be sure you are following the laws of your country when it comes to copyright. This board specifically can not be used to recommend to do anything that is "illegal" in the United States. So this is as far as I dare stretch the rules here.
i went to a website to watch a free movies a my screen is popping warning that i have virus
