Scam Virus alert on iMac

Hi community


It's been a couple of days since I'm receiving a virus alert on my iMac.

I know it's scam. I used cleanmymac x but it doesn't help. Anyone has my same problem and know how to solve it?

Thanks in Advance!

NEVER EVER install any third party:


• Antivirus

• Cleaning (including CMM which is considered malware!!!)

• Security or

• Any other types of third party "maintenance" apps.


At best these types of apps are 100% worthless and at worst they make Mac OS appear buggy, slow and can cause some very odd behaviors.


Please uninstall CMM per the developers instructions.
