"Your system is infected with (3) Viruses” when opening a Safari tab

Happened to me also. I force quit out of Safari and then relaunch. This usually works fine. On occasion I have had to force quit a 2nd time and then tell safari not to open the window from the previous session.

Read the rest of this topic.

Unless you've jailbroken your phone, or it was in someone else's possession long enough to do that (and they'd have to be past your login, too), it hasn't been compromised.

Explain what you think is wrong.

Read this entire topic (and many others regarding the same thing on these forums). You don't have a virus of any kind. One, there is not, and has yet to be an actual virus in the Mac OS. Two, it's nothing but a scam page trying to convince you to call a scammer who will attempt to charge you lots of money to fix nothing. Or, or to purchase scam software that does nothing and fixes nothing.

whenever I go to a website a apple care will popup and say that your system is infested with 3 viruses, but this time it popped out about like 7 apple care thingy

Those are not from Apple Care. They are scam phishing attempts.

Of course it is not real. It is a theiving scammer trying to get your money, personal information, and financial information. Read the thread you posted in. There are several links containing instructions regarding what to do about these scams.

Of course you can touch your iPhone. I'm 100% certain it will neither bite or explode.

It's nothing but a scam. Double tap the home button to show the Application Switcher. Slide Safari up and off the screen to quit the app. Then System > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

I tried downloading a adobe flash-layer to watch a movie online and it dowloaded 2 apps on my computer that I can't get rid of and I believe they have viruses. I get pop ups saying scan complete and you have 3 things but they aren't actual notifications from my Mac

In the future, never, ever believe any popup from a web site that says you need a Flash/Java/codec installed. They will be a lie every single time. What you installed had nothing to do with Flash. You installed just what they wanted you to - malicious adware.

Just a note. It's a not a virus. Those move from one device to another with no user interaction. This was a Trojan. Something that cannot get on a computer without your assistance. As with any Trojan, you installed it.

The only and only place to get updates for Flash is directly from Adobe.

I just typed in cayman .goodhousekeeping.com

then came the information that I had an APPLE IOS VIRUS ALert. Pegasus ( spyware ) activated & to call 1-855-****-0775

i called & someone was going to help me remove it but I was afraid & said I would call back . Is this for real . He said it was & told me not to use anything , banking , ordering or anything.

I got the same warning just last night. Saying I needed to scan my computer! But when I clicked on all the navigation bar options - which looked identical to Apple - nothing was live so I figured it was a phishing scam so logged out, closed down my computer etc. I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

Scam

I had a pop up on my iphone 6S with apple icon warning "browser 43% damaged" by Trojan virus displaying Apple icon with message to dowload a VPN app and this page did not have phone number but did have green but to Install app

Address at top was NOT Apple (sorry closed it without writing it down first) dbl clicked home button and closed open site pages

Any truth or more phishing ?
