[QUOTE="danno50, post: 1790686, member: 302229"] My wife has a early 2015 MacBook Air: OSX 10.10.5; 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5; 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Intel Graphics 6000 1536 MB; serial number C02P84YGGFWM. She was trying to sign in to a site (arttutor.com) and got a message that said: "technical error........??". She clicked on the error message and an Apple Care warning popped up saying that her computer was infected with 3 trojans (it gave specific numbers for one, but we didn't write it down). The site that came up looked like an authentic Apple site? It offered to fix the problem for her, and also said if she didn't fix it soon the damage would be permanent. She closed the page, exited the internet and shut down the computer. Does this sound right?? My first inclination would be to run Malware Bytes for Mac to see what it had to say. However, will wait for advice from the forum. Thank you in advance Dan [/QUOTE]
