My computer keeps saying that Apple wants to make changes. Any ideas what this is? It has just started happening since I updated Sierra. Can't seem to get rid of the box and I am not game to enter my password!
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Click Confirm
I did the same.
Thank for help 🙂
I can tell you guys what I was doing when this appeared. I was surfing the internet on Safari. Specifically I was on CBSSports.com reviewing my fantasy football team. Then Safari just... "closed." Not crashed, because usually you get a pop-up that says "Safari closed unexpectedly" or something like that. But Safari closed, then about 1-2 sec. later, up popped the "Apple wants to make changes." dialogue box popped up. And it stays on top of all applications. When I opened "Force Quit," no application appears. It also does not appear in the lower Application Dock. I haven't pushed cancel OR Ok for fear that selecting either one is a trap.
Any chance this threat was created by the Malwarebytes people just to sell their Malwarebytes product?
Seems a little weird with this popup that so many say to use Malwarebytes to remove it.
I trust no one. Especially software companies and more so virus and spam protection companies.
I mean, how does one best sell their product but to first create a need for such a product?
Lots of $$$ to be had in this type of business.
And we all fully trust business to protect our best interests... right? haha
I was able to get rid of it without using Malwarebytes.
After I found it, I saw this article with step-by-step instructions.

It worked for me.
This keeps occurring. After clicking cancel several times it goes away, only to appear again later.
