infection - 04/12/21 06:57 PM
OS 10.12.6
Half hour ago, this appeared on my screen: "Mac OS is infected with spyware and other malicious applications. Spyware must be removed and system damage repaired ( n nIt ) is necessary to call Apple Support
+1- 888-227-7849 and follow Virus removal procedure immediately."
"Please proceed"
**If you leave this site your Mac OS will remain damaged and vulnerable ** I shut off the power immediately and when I rebooted, the same warning occurred which I again shut down.
I ran ClamXAV and Antivirus Zap-Virus scanner neither of which found any infections. I doubt if anything is wrong but is there anything I can do to prevent this re-occurring?
