Possible virus attack
This message keeps popping up on my MacBook. I haven't given password. I think it's a virus. I need to click it 3 times before it quits popping up. What do I do?

There may also be another issue ~ if your user name/admin name is not Charles Clark.
To troubleshoot generally, see if restart in Safe mode can help; this will check some
system files and do some background repairs. ~ You would have to restart normally
to exit Safe mode. (user password is needed to enter safe mode; not exit it, if your Mac
normally has automatic login.)
