[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1625399, member: 24160"] It is not a virus. It is a browser hijacker trying to scam you out of your money. If you are using wifi: click on the Network icon up on the menu bar and on 'Turn Wi-fi off'. Open Safari and close the tabs. Quit Safari by clicking on Safari in the menu bar and then 'Quit Safari'. You can now safely Turn the wifi back on and open Safari. If you are using ethernet, unplug the ethernet cable and do the same as above. Don't go back to the web site that is infected with that pop-up again. No point advertising that website - mods may want to remove the link. [/QUOTE]
