Do I have a virus?
I was on a website and a popup came up saying that all of my files were locked and it said it was from the police. I closed it immediately because I know it's phishing.
I can still open all of my files and stuff. Has this popup now given me a virus? I'm doing a scan right now. It opened my browser in a new window. I am running a Macbook Pro Mavericks. I didn't click on anything and nothing downloaded. Ads |

Potentially, the sight may of been a troll or it was a fake pop up which can get you a virus if clicked on

Yep definatly a scam. This one can sometimes be hard to get rid off. I've seen it in several variants, some are easy to remove some need a registry hack to clear everything out.
You definatly need to upgrade your firewall if you got hit. |
