And additionally, if you only see the alert when opening Safari, then after a restart hold the shift key down before clicking on Safari. This will open it in a new window instead of the scam you were viewing before.


It is not a virus. Malware can be installed with your permission and can be easily removed also. Many apps act like Malware including:

  • Cleaners
  • Optimizers
  • AntiVirus
