[QUOTE="6string, post: 1016265, member: 120039"] No you shouldn't install it.... If you have installed any virus and/or firewall protection, you should uninstall it with the application's uninstaller. Any apps that don't have uninstallers you should use [URL="http://freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/"]AppCleaner[/URL]. I would also go a step further and use [URL="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html"]OnyX[/URL] and clean all your cookies, caches, etc. Also, set your browser to not all popups, even though some will get through occasionally, this should fix the problem. Even though the above mentioned pop up is for Mac, it is usually a scam trying to get people to install rubbish on there Macs. You don't need virus protection, and your router will have a firewall, but if you feel the need for extra protection, just go to system preferences>security and turn on your Mac's firewall, and set to stealth mode.
