My yahoo mail screen periodically jumps to a page telling me my computer is infected with malware. The url from which the message is coming is lp.tweakingtools.info. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?

You may want to check your system with Malwarebytes for Mac. The link is www.malwarebytes.com
For futher analysis you may post an Etrecheck report. The link is http://www.etrecheck.com
It may not help, but try running/posting the Etrecheck report.
Try running this program in your normal user account, then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by etresoft, a frequent contributor.

You can run the report for free at least once, but if you run it several times, at some point it will ask you to pay a license fee.

I've been experiencing the same thing for the past month. I installed malwarebytes and then installed Sophos but I'm still getting this pop up spam. And when you google how to remove it I think most of the links that show in the search are to the same spam linked to the pop up. Very frustrating! I never had this problem until updated my iOS to Mojave.
