This is really for my brother. He received a Mac Install message, and clicked on the install button on the screen, and now his Mac is in a suspended state. This was obviously not an update from Apple, but it sounds like some kind of scam. Does anyone know if this is a new type of Mac virus? I believe that his operating sytem is macOS Sierra.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), So far everything else seems OK.
If he got this via a web browser or an email, then it was definitely a SCAM
Try MalwareBytes (that and EtreCheck are the 2 trusted utilities the forum favors for dealing with this kind of thing)
<https://www.malwarebytes.org>
The free, run it manually, is all that is being suggested.
EtreCheck can be found at:

Generally you post the output for the forum to review.

Possible New Mac Virus?
