mrsm_jones Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi there. This popped up on my mac today. I've not being doing anything dodgy, not visited any sites I shouldn't have and haven't downloaded anything dubious from the internet. Does this look legit, or just another crap pop up from somewhere please?? The thing that had me wondering is that it's the correct internet provider and location, and I'm not experienced looking at stuff like this on a Mac. Thanks in advance.

Brian Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 So these are affecting Macs now. LOL. It's bogus. But in all seriousness, STOP USING SAFARI! It is the browser that is exploited with this crap. It also takes Apple forever to update it. Please use something like Firefox. Since you are here, chances are you do something with Photography. Firefox is Color Managed. Chrome is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah, they know that all Mac users have Safari, so they target that browser. The only time I've ever gotten those type of pop-ups is when I'm using Safari. It's even more funny when I'm using Firefox and a "Windows Pop-Up Appears doing a "Scan" while using Firefox on my Mac. It's so bogus it's not even funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsm_jones Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks again. That's great news. I suspected so I always feel better checking with those that know Firefox downloading. Have a great evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
