Every time I visit DU on my iphone I get Phished w/ "You have a virus! Click to solve" from "Apple"

[mahina]

so I called Mac help and explained what was happening and asked what they would recommend.

Mac help says that the update, which I have put off having heard it slows everything down, should solve that. So I finally bit the bullet and am downloading the update now. I was running 10.3

Also I learned that Mac now recommends users install Malwarebytes from Malwarebytes.org.

I sure hope I don't regret this update!

She also suggested that I let DU know that there's a Phishing attempt placed on the website.
I'm going to do that now.

Good luck out there good people, aloha.

1. I have an iphone 5s and held my breath through 11.03 update (I ignored 11.01 and 11.02)

But, it all went well. I suspect I'm getting less battery life, but it isn't too bad so I'll just charge as frequently as possible until the next update.

BTW, I have used the paid malwarebytes premium product on my PCs for years. I can't say enough about it. Very good product.

2. Malwarebytes works great and blocks all kinds of crap on my PC

I had always heard one of the big advantages to Mac is you dont need protection.

Not anymore I guess.

3. There have always been company selling malware protection for Macs

I dont think it was Apple that the OP was talking to.
