[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1768407, member: 110816"] Assuming you use Safari as your browser, these extensions are available in the [URL="https://safari-extensions.apple.com/"]Safari Extensions Gallery[/URL] and here is [URL="https://safari-extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.el1t.uBlock-8782JU4WM4"]uBlock[/URL] specifically. You could also get to it the way Harry mentioned above. All extensions to browsers are traditionally free and there are a handful that are globally recommended for all to use. The ones I mentioned fit both of those categories.. These pop-ups scare you into calling a phone number where you will get someone making up all kinds of crazy talk about bad things happening to your machine to get you to pay them to "remote" into your machine to fix it all. It is at that point that they could do bad things on your machine since you've be giving them remote control..obviously, never do that and NEVER pay for any of these things on the Internet.. If you or anyone you know ever has a problem with your Mac, you can seek help on Mac-Forums and other sites and if the situation is bad enough, take it to your closest Apple store and let the Genius there take a crack at it.. Never trust a pop-up..:) [/QUOTE]
