Hi: While doing my job, if i will connect my mac to the internet, i got a notification from a website called “Egypt Stars”, i think this is a news site, each 10 or 20 minutes i got this notification with a new news piece. do not know what is it, and am afraid that my computer may be infected with something or is it just an ad? popping? BTW this ad comes without opening `safari or anyting. thanks in advance
