Security concern

Several times each day I get a pop-up which says "Apple wants to make changes. Type you password to allow this". Is this for real?

Download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. There is no reason to leave it installed once troubleshooting is finished. The free version doesn't update itself. If you need it again, you can download it again.
