I have been receiving what appears to be false popup messages on my MacBook Pro that various things have been hacked, examples attached (IMG_4031). If I “choose an action to restore system’, I am referred to a fake McAfee website (IMG_4033).

I have run both TotalAV and Bitdefender and neither detect any malware, viruses, or other problems. I can’t figure out how to eliminate this problem. Although it does not seem to be harming my computer, it is quite annoying. Suggestions welcome!

Hello and welcome.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Sounds like some form of malware. Have you tried the free version of Malwarebyes for Mac in addition to TotalAV and Bitdefender?

Can you re-upload the photo, as it didn't come through on your original post.
