[QUOTE="Johnny Calvara, post: 1601824, member: 288271"] I clicked on a link (don't remember what it was) and received a screen with a message that spoke of a security breech, malware problems, perhaps a root kit problem, with a phone number to call (1-800-219-0344). A window, seemingly from the Mavericks OS, popped up with a similar message with the phone number 1-800-274-1983. I called the number in the pop-up, was given to someone who deals with Mac, and was starting to be walked through a procedure having to do with changing something in 'Users' when I decided to terminate the process because I couldn't be sure who it was that I was dealing with. Both of the guys I spoke with had Indian accents and seemed liked they genuinely wanted to help. Does anyone know if these are legit numbers? My computer is not working properly now. Safari will open but won't respond and has to be shut down through 'force quit'. [/QUOTE]
