Pop-up window: Apple wants to make changes

Have you tried running Malwarebytes?

cheers, just ran it and it found 13 of whatever it finds!!

thanks

Kurt, is there a log that can be brought up that will show what installs were made on the date that an actual password was provided to this pop up?

I installed Malware bytes today. Have not had the annoying pop-up. I'll post if it returns.

Same here...ran it last week and quarantined then removed. All good here! Yes, Adobe flash player download carried the hitchhiker.

You downloaded it from the adobe site? Some times web pages put of fake download acrobat with a fake site with the altered copy of adobe

I used Malwarebytes the free version and if found and got rid of lots of weird files - no problems since:-)

cheapo types. I remember the days when they had to pay a programmer to do their dirty work. What about the poor starving programmer? Where have all the jobs gone?

Around here we have found that malwarebytes is the only app of this nature we recommend. We recommend getting rid of all others.

Tried cleanmymac free download and it didn’t find anything. Downloaded malwarebytes for free and it found 4 threats.

I cannot find the malware bytes app. Am I missing something?

Do not use cleanmymac. It's regarded as malware around these forums.

I am pretty sure it is not a web site because when I turned wifi from off to on 2 of my High sierra workstations the pop up occurred almost immediately
