However, modern strides in standardization and the popularity of MAC devices made the online environment very hostile for MAC users.

– When you use your MAC, pop-ups appear from time to time and invite you to download some software.
These are typical symptoms of infestation. So, what do you do?

Remove viruses

You won’t be able to manually remove malicious software that knows how to hide from you. Install an antivirus program capable of cleaning your MAC from unwanted apps. Norton Antivirus, Kaspersky, and Avira are all solid choices.
