Q: Safari popup
I have visited a website and a popup with some terraclick text came up twice. I didn't download or clicked anything, and I think it just disappeared. I have googled it now, and I can see that it might be some kind of virus. Can I check it somehow if my mac is affected? I don't experience anything weird. I have read so many comments not to download any antivirus programme. Is there any official apple supported anti-virus programme?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
