Right so about 4 days ago this has been recently popping up on my Mac.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I first encountered it on Chrome, and haven't been able to find out what it is. So iv uninstalled Chrome and now use Safari. Again today the same thing has come up. Essentially this website pops up saying i need to update flash and it instantly downloads an exe file.

So im a little worried its a virus and seeing as i have a Mac i have no Antivirus software as mac's are known for not getting viruses. I know there is something wrong with it, because the site says that my Mac is a 'Windows PC'

So i was wondering if anyone knows what this is and how to get rid of it

Many thanks

Why would that fix this? It doesn't open up straight away, it does it randomly while browsing :L
