Hi Tony.
I assume you have a virus & internet protector in place ?
If so I suggest you run a full scan.
It could be your virus protector giving the message.
If not may I suggest your buy and install BitDefender.
Then ask it to run a full scan.
I have been using this for a few years and it has won the BEST award 3
years running.
Macs are good at protecting themselves, but NOT foolproof.
BitDefender has told me a few times that it has detected and removed a
virus.
It has also blocked unwelcome entities.

Good Morning fellow wamuggers
It’s been a while and sorry I missed the meeting yesterday, I would
have liked to learn a little more about AIRDROP.
My reason for contacting the list today is because I am being bombarded
with a message that keeps repeating every 5 or so minutes, it shows in
the top right hand corner of my desktop under the safari logo telling
me that I have 5 viruses in my system and the name used is VINEGARD ??
I have tried to find the source as to how this message is activated but
I can’t find it, the message appears even with the wireless turned off,
so it’s within my system somewhere.
Any thoughts guy’s?
Thanks all, have a great day
Kind Regards

Hello Fellow WAMUGers,
I learn a lot in meetings. For instance, did you know that by
bending
a paper clip once, you can make a pretty cool ‘S’?
However, I didn’t learn that in a WAMUG general monthly meeting,
but I
have learnt other things.
Our October general meeting is this Tuesday, 3rd October at 7:30pm.
Here are the details
MEETING TOPICS
1 Available or coming in macOS Sonoma
2 Airdropping over the internet

3D
objects. (Needs Ventura at minimum to work.)
