I have an unknown icon and warning popping up.

I have a unknown window popping up all the time on my iMac (image below).  It is said:


929 issues found!

Questions may be on the duplicate files, System & unwanted internet, recoverable unauthorized software & disk space. Difficulty and enjoy a performance gain.

I'm a little dubious of this warning. The language seems just offshore, but maybe I'm too sensitive. Does anyone know if it comes with a legitimate warning? If it's something that should be avoided, does anyone know how to make it stop?

Thank you very much!

Andy

You are right to be doubtful. It's a scam. Force Quit Safari then reboot by holding down the SHIFT key. If that is not clear it is then try to run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.
