[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1768521, member: 190607"] Yes, definitely. And the good news is that it is highly unlikely that anything was downloaded to your Mac. It was just a bit of JavaScript that ran on a Web site you visited. See: Scary Internet Scam Becoming Disturbingly Common [url]http://tidbits.com/article/15777[/url] You don't need to get any add-ons to Safari to deal with scareware of this sort. All that you have to do is upgrade Safari to version 9.1 for OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks, 10.10.5 Yosemite, and all versions of 10.11 El Capitan via Software Update. Once you have updated, scareware JavaScript is precluded from trapping you on a particular Web page. See: [url]http://tidbits.com/article/16360[/url] [/QUOTE]
