- MacBookPro 15" early 2009:2.4GHz,8GB,OSX10.10.3 & PBookG4:1GHZ,1.25MB,OSX10.5.8 &MacMini:2GHz,2GB,OS
Just stupidly clicked on a FB link and now am getting a pop-up in Safari that says "From "http://macosxcleaner.com": VIRUS FOUND The last website you visited has infected your Mac with a virus. Press OK to begin the repair process." (screenshot attached) It won't let me do anything in Safari, other than Quit it, and when I quit and restart, all the same windows show up, as well as the pop-up message. I can't close any of the windows or tabs and can not clear the history. It does not seem to have affected/infected Firefox or Chrome.
I have no intention of clicking "OK", but how do I get rid of this malware? I've never had anything like this happen before on any of my Macs! Any ideas on what to do?
