Worm warning?

[Jonzjob]

I have just had a message telling me that I have a worm on the system?

e.tre456_worm_osx

Is this just a scam or for real? I have tried a search on it, but got confused. It isn't difficult tpo confuse me at the moment

The E.Tre456_Worm_OSX pop-up is a browser-based scam that uses fake alerts stating that your device is under attack or infected to trick you into subscribing to unneeded paid services.

Ta Jimmy. I had an idea that was the situation, but wanted to be sure.

As usual, this forum stars again
