[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1809506, member: 204485"] Hi all, I just received this threat notification today. I was live streaming some content from a British Sports site. My VPN had been dropping out and I thought I'd try without and boom. Almost immediately received the "Immediate Action Required Notification below. Naturally being the suspicious type I am I simply quit my browser, went offline, reopened my browser and cleared everything then ran Malwarebytes which found 6 Malicious Threats which I quarantined, then deleted. I then ran Disk Utility First Aid. I have to say it's a very genuine looking warning. Were it not for my history with these types of things and my suspicious nature I would have clicked the link. [ATTACH=FULL]29011[/ATTACH] It does seem to say something for the value of a good VPN though. P.S. as you can see this occurred on FireFox (Quantum) browser. [/QUOTE]
