MULTIPLE TROJAN VIRUS WARNINGS AMBER ALERT

Hi hoping someone can help me. I’m clueless (hence my id) when it comes to tech. My computer has several Trojan virus alerts with a loud amber alert type sound blaring from my Mac laptop! So loud and jarring my little Pomeranian flew off my lap when it started. This is the second alert which all started when I attempted to download adobe flash. Any help is appreciated! 🙏-1F3FD; BTW i immediately shut my laptop down.

Only download Adobe Flash from the Official Adobe site. There are many phony Adobe Flash installers that will install malware, it sounds like you downloaded one of them.

Download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC. It gets rave reviews and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.
