Screen with warning of Virus and malicious applications pop up screen

Yes, it's okay. This assumes you didn't open or run any of the files the site dumped into your Downloads folder. All you need to do is delete them.

The screen you saw is the same as all of these scams. No one, in any way, can know what is on a remote computer through a web browser. Anything any such site says about you being infected with something is a lie. Period.

Remove Bitmedic. There is absolutely nothing useful with any AV software for the Mac. There are no viruses to stop, and any Trojan will go right past it.

This fake add suggesting I have a virus keeps popping up on my computer in the past 24 hours. Is there some malware already installed that must be removed? How would I do that.

What happens if you get a pop up stating your computer is infected and you can not get out of screen? I could not back out, is there something else I could do?

So this fake pop message I also got, is it some type of pop up or tracking malware embedded in Safari? Does anyone know how to clear that out so this stops popping up?

Excellent! Glad to hear your Mac appears to be cleaned up. 🙂

Thanks Kurt,

That makes a lot of sense. I probably don't need to purchase the Premium.

Great advice! I will make wise choices now on what sites I pick.

Kurt, wonderful and clear advice to our posters here.

So glad you're still so involved in helping!

Your question is going to have to be much more specific than that.

I received the same pop-up

How did you get these pop up to stop? These are continually popping up on my MAC. TIA

DO NOT select <CLOSE> It in some cases downloads unlimited files. Close tab.
