Dear Smugs, Whilst looking at some websites using Safari, I experienced Antivirus (as opposed to i - Antivirus for Mac) trying to install when I canceled a a popup. I closed Safari ASAP. I understand that this is some form of scamware that puts bogus infection messages on PCs to get you to buy it.
When I check browsing history I get this message "http/%2F% 2Fwww.bleepingcomputer.com%2Fmalware-removal%2Funinstall-antivirus-2009.webhistory" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". I can't find any sign of this in downloads or applications. Should I be concerned and if so how can I remove any malicious code? How can I stop this happening again (I have Leopards firewall activated).
