What is WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected?

'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' is a fake error similar to Apple Security Alert, Apple Support Center - Attention!!, Apple Warning Alert, and many others. This error is displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). These programs also deliver various 'malvertising' ads (pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc.), record information (mostly, about web browsing habits), and misuse system resources.

This error states that the system has been infected and that the malware must be removed and system repaired immediately. Users are advised that they must not hesitate to call Apple technical support via the telephone number ('1-844-658-5859') provided. Certified technicians then supposedly guide users through the malware removal process. Bear in mind, however, that 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' is a scam. This error is fake and has nothing to do with Apple. In fact, cyber criminals claim to be certified technicians and attempt to monetize their services that are not needed. In addition, these people often trick users into granting remote access to their computers. Once connected, cyber criminals stealthily install malware and/or change system settings. Then they claim to detect additional errors and offer further help for an additional fee. Therefore, we strongly advise you to ignore 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' and to never call the aforementioned telephone number. This error can be removed by closing the web browsing or rebooting the system. Be aware that some malicious websites and PUPs mine cryptocurrency or run other unwanted processes in the background. They misuse system resources without users' consent, thereby significantly diminishing overall computer performance. Potentially unwanted programs are also known to gather various information that might contain personal details. This data is sold to third parties. Furthermore, PUPs often deliver malicious ads using various tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, the ads usually conceal underlying content, thereby diminishing the browsing experience. Malicious ads may also lead to rogue websites and/or execute scripts that download and install malware. Therefore, even accidental clicks can result in high-risk computer infections. For these reasons, we advise you to uninstall all potentially unwanted programs immediately.

As mentioned above, 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' shares many similarities with dozens of other fake errors. Each and each one claims that the system is damaged , however, these false claims are merely attempts to extort money from unsuspecting users. Potentially unwanted programs are also very similar. By offering various 'useful features', PUPs trick users into believing that these programs are legitimate and useful, however, that all potentially unwanted programs only generate revenue for the developers. Therefore, only very few give real value for regular users. Most merely promote rogue websites (unwanted redirects), deliver malicious ads, gather information, and misuse system resources. These programs pose a direct threat to your privacy and Internet browsing safety.

How did potentially unwanted programs install on my computer?

Research shows that some PUPs have official download websites, however, most are distributed using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling', and via the aforementioned malicious ads. Therefore, users often install PUPs inadvertently or PUPs stealthily infiltrate their systems without permission. Bundling is stealth installation of third party software together with regular apps. Developers hide bundled programs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings or other sections of the download/installation processes. Many users are careless during download and installation - they rush and skip steps. In addition, many users click various ads. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Therefore, pay close attention when downloading/installing software and browsing the Internet in general. If possible, select the 'Custom/Advanced' settings, carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogues, and decline offers to download/install third party programs. Bear in mind that third party download/installation tools are monetized by promoting dubious programs (the 'bundling' method). Therefore, we recommend that you avoid using such tools - your software should be downloaded from official sources only, using a direct download link. Most malicious ads appear legitimate, as developers invest a great deal of time and money into their design, however, these ads are distinguishable for their redirects - most lead to survey, adult dating, pornography, and other similar sites. Therefore, if you encounter this type of ad or website, immediately remove all suspicious apps and browser plug-ins.
