"Your system is infected with 3 viruses!"

User uploaded fileUser uploaded file

Hello,


My name is Blue and I need your help.


I have a Macbook Pro with OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6. It's a 13.3-inch display with an Intel Iris Graphics and a 251 GB storage capacity.


A pop-up appeared from:


apple.com-supportcenter.pro/401/virusfound.php?_jsess=cc2189bf...


Page states: "Your system is infected with 3 viruses!"


Continuing: "Your Mac is infected with 3 viruses. Our security check found traces of 2 malware and 1 phishing/spyware. System damage: 28.1% - Immediate removal require!"


It appears to be a malware but there's a logo that says, "AppleCare Protection Plan." It seemed legit. I exited the page immediately but was left unsure...


I attached two screenshots to this post. What do you think?


Thank you for your time.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
