I got a mac a few months ago and a few weeks ago I began to get various ads popping up on Safari. Today it gives a warning from ‘Mac-protection.info’ saying that my Mac has detected a serious attack. It asks me to call Mac support team for a fix. Things are getting worse and the Mac Protection Info Pop-up happens almost every time I click on something. I assume this is a fake message, right? That is really annoying and I hate it. How can I get rid of this pop up without losing my files? Please help!!!
Mac Protection Info Pop-up (as known as Mac-protection.info pop-up) is a fake message that belongs to one of the tech support scams. It is caused by malicious ad-supported extensions, adware or browser hijacker that can be added on Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari without any permission. Now most Apple mobile users have been encountering this pop-up message that is particularly difficult to close on their Mac computers. The pop up falsely claims that a serious attack is detected on your Mac and you need to call 888-246-3167 to contact the Mac Tech support team in order to solve your computer problems. Do not call the phone number provided, as it is not a real Mac tech support number. The people behind the number are scammers, and they will do their best to take advantage of you in whatever way you will let them. The scammers usually request remote access to your computer, in order to “troubleshoot” the “problem,” but what they really do is to install viruses, malware or other threats on your computer, take control of your computer and steal your credit card information without your awareness, record your keystrokes, monitor all your network traffic or watch you through your webcam.

I clicked on the pop-up on the screen by mistake then I got that message. It was so ridiculous that it accused me about doing illegal things on the Internet (which I didn’t do). I was thinking that the message would disappear after I rebooted my ipad. However, thing didn’t go well as I thought. When I turned the ipad on again, I saw the warning was still there which was so scared me. I had no idea about what to do next. Please help me get rid of this FBI Fraudulent Malware! Thank you so much!

I just purchased a macbook pro less than 2 months ago. It has been working good until yesterday I accidentally installed Genieo toolbar. Every time I enter a name in the safari address bar, I have genieo search appearing. I have been trying all kinds of ways I can find to get rid of this program but it still keeps coming back on Safari. Besides, I have been getting countless pop-up ads, coupon and shopping suggestions on Safari whenever I was online. Anyway, the Genieo toolbar has taken over my web browser without my approval. It’s terribly irritating. I have run several security scans but none of them helped. How do I get rid of Genieo toolbar from Safari completely?

The application hijacks your web browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome no matter you are on Windows computers or Mac computers.

Using this toolbar is not recommended since it can show altered search results for redirecting victims to predetermined websites that may contain malware and spyware, also you will be presented with affiliate links and annoying pop-up advertisements frequently.
