Something very interesting just happened to me and at an unlikely place. I had an email with a LiveJournal comment in it and hit view all comments. When I did this, I got an alert from Safari saying that I had possible spyware and malwear on my computer and would I like to scan for it. I thought it was strange and hit cancel, but it scanned anyway and offered me the chance to download the program, since they claimed i had ten things wrong. I hit ok, thinking that this was just an alert but it downloaded the software. when I looked in downloads I found that it was a .exe file. Then, I did a search for MalwareAlarm and found this. http://malwarealarm-removal.com.removal-instructions.com/removeMalwareAlarm.html So apparently, this is a fake antimalwear program. But since it's a .exe will it harm my Mac? If so and the removal software given at the site above doesn't work, how can I get rid of this?
Thanks, Tiffanitsa
