How to remove WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected from Mac?

What is WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected?

'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' is a fake error similar to Apple Security Alert, Apple Support Center - Attention!!, Apple Warning Alert, and many others. This error is displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). These programs also deliver various 'malvertising' ads (pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc.), record information (mostly, about web browsing habits), and misuse system resources.

This error states that the system has been infected and that the malware must be removed and system repaired immediately. Users are advised that they must not hesitate to call Apple technical support via the telephone number ('1-844-658-5859') provided. Certified technicians then supposedly guide users through the malware removal process. Bear in mind, however, that 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' is a scam. This error is fake and has nothing to do with Apple. In fact, cyber criminals claim to be certified technicians and attempt to monetize their services that are not needed. In addition, these people often trick users into granting remote access to their computers. Once connected, cyber criminals stealthily install malware and/or change system settings. Then they claim to detect additional errors and offer further help for an additional fee. Therefore, we strongly advise you to ignore 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' and to never call the aforementioned telephone number. This error can be removed by closing the web browsing or rebooting the system. Be aware that some malicious websites and PUPs mine cryptocurrency or run other unwanted processes in the background. They misuse system resources without users' consent, thereby significantly diminishing overall computer performance. Potentially unwanted programs are also known to gather various information that might contain personal details. This data is sold to third parties. Furthermore, PUPs often deliver malicious ads using various tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, the ads usually conceal underlying content, thereby diminishing the browsing experience. Malicious ads may also lead to rogue websites and/or execute scripts that download and install malware. Therefore, even accidental clicks can result in high-risk computer infections. For these reasons, we advise you to uninstall all potentially unwanted programs immediately.

As mentioned above, 'WARNING! MAC OS Is Infected' shares many similarities with dozens of other fake errors. Each and each one claims that the system is damaged , however, these false claims are merely attempts to extort money from unsuspecting users. Potentially unwanted programs are also very similar. By offering various 'useful features', PUPs trick users into believing that these programs are legitimate and useful, however, that all potentially unwanted programs only generate revenue for the developers. Therefore, only very few give real value for regular users. Most merely promote rogue websites (unwanted redirects), deliver malicious ads, gather information, and misuse system resources. These programs pose a direct threat to your privacy and Internet browsing safety.

How did potentially unwanted programs install on my computer?

Research shows that some PUPs have official download websites, however, most are distributed using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling', and via the aforementioned malicious ads. Therefore, users often install PUPs inadvertently or PUPs stealthily infiltrate their systems without permission. Bundling is stealth installation of third party software together with regular apps. Developers hide bundled programs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings or other sections of the download/installation processes. Many users are careless during download and installation - they rush and skip steps. In addition, many users click various ads. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Therefore, pay close attention when downloading/installing software and browsing the Internet in general. If possible, select the 'Custom/Advanced' settings, carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogues, and decline offers to download/install third party programs. Bear in mind that third party download/installation tools are monetized by promoting dubious programs (the 'bundling' method). Therefore, we recommend that you avoid using such tools - your software should be downloaded from official sources only, using a direct download link. Most malicious ads appear legitimate, as developers invest a great deal of time and money into their design, however, these ads are distinguishable for their redirects - most lead to survey, adult dating, pornography, and other similar sites. Therefore, if you encounter this type of ad or website, immediately remove all suspicious apps and browser plug-ins.

The classic OS X 10.12, or rather macOS upgrade, introduced tons of features anyone would still want on their Mac. Why? Because, it's well-tested and secure. Now we'll take a quick look at the legendary macOS Sierra upgrade. (In case you want to upgrade your Mac to macOS 10.13 High Sierra, check out this guide.)

Interestingly, it first brought Siri to your Mac. This is great news for everyone who's already used to her help on iOS. Then, there's Watch unlocking for Mac, there's one-click Apple Pay, tabs in apps, and cross-device copypasting. Just to name a few.

So, if you were on the fence about upgrading to Sierra, and in fact, any newer OS, go right ahead. Your Mac deserves a refreshment.

Here are the models of Macs that are compatible with macOS 10.12 and can upgrade to Sierra:

Does order matter when you upgrade macOS?

Stop Breathing Pls Mac Os Download

If your current operating system is OS X Lion (10.7), you can skip a few versions, and upgrade directly to macOS High Sierra. To upgrade to Sierra from, say, Mavericks, you'll have to consequently upgrade to Yosemite and then to El Capitan first.

Check Your macOS for Sierra Compatibility

These OS versions can upgrade to Sierra:

  • OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
  • OS X Mavericks v10.9
  • OS X Yosemite v10.10
  • OS X El Capitan v10.11

Here's how to find out which OS version you're running now:

  1. Click Apple icon in the top left corner.
  2. Choose About this Mac.
  3. There you have it, in capital letters.

Memory (RAM): 2 GB (preferably 4 GB)
Sierra is pretty lightweight, so you only need 2 GB of RAM to upgrade. Cool, eh?

Disk space: 8 GB of free space on drive.
In the same About this Mac menu select 'Storage' tab. In front of the multi-colored bar, you will see the phrase, 'X.XX GB free out of XX.XX GB.' If you don't have at least 8 GB of free space, you should delete some old files.

Before you update macOS, don't forget to:

Clean up your Mac

This is essential if you want a fast and effortless update, and glitchless work of your new macOS. And it's also pretty easy. To give your Mac a cleanup, you need to get rid of system junk, uninstall extra apps, and clean some old caches. If that sounds like a lot of work, you can get a Mac cleaner like CleanMyMac for the job.

How to update your Mac: Clean it up first

  1. Launch it.
  2. Hit Scan to find all the extra files you can delete.
  3. Press Run.

As you can see, I have 8.56 GB worth of caches, obsolete language files, broken downloads. You'll feel great getting rid of them.
That will give your Mac a basic system cleanup, but CleanMyMac is going to come in handy after the update as well. It monitors your Mac's health, helps you speed up the system and remove unnecessary apps (Trashing doesn't fully uninstall apps, by the way).

Back up your Mac

This is basic common sense before any Mac software update you'd like to undertake. Why? Well, because sometimes updates happen less smoothly than you'd like them to. To make sure you have all your information and files saved up neatly, you need a backup. To back up your Mac, you need to activate Time Machine.

  • Open your Applications folder.
  • Choose Time Machine.
  • 'Select Backup Disk…'
    Note: You may need to first choose to 'Set Up Time Machine.'
  • Choose where you'd like to store your backup.
  • Both an external drive or an Airport Time Capsule fit.
  • Switch the toggle on the left, from 'OFF' to 'ON.' Right beneath the name of your storage device, you'll see 'Oldest backup,' 'Latest backup,' and 'Next backup' — Your backup will begin within 5 minutes. To speed it up, click the arrow clock icon next to the Date & Time at the top-right of the menu bar and select 'Back Up Now.'

How to download macOS Sierra (or newer macOS) and install it

macOS Sierra is increasingly becoming a relic. Since 2020, the newest available macOS version is Big Sur. But it all comes down to hardware. Your Mac can only upgrade to the latest version its hardware can support. If your Mac is from around 2012 it can update as high up as to macOS Catalina. If your Mac is from 2010 or older, its limit is macOS High Sierra.

To download any new macOS and install it you'll need to do the next:
1. Open System Preferences.. in the  Apple menu.
2. Click on Software Updates.
On top of the list you'll see the latest macOS version your Mac can download. In our case, it's macOS Big Sur.

Another way to do it is via the Mac App Store.

  1. Open App Store.
  2. Click the Updates tab.
  3. You'll see macOS updates available for your Mac.
  4. Click Update.

Wait for macOS download and installation. Your Mac will restart when it's done.

Now you have a new OS.
For historic interest, this is how macOS Sierra looked back then when it was still available in the Mac App Store. Now, it can't be found there anymore.

Download macOS installers directly from Apple

For users of past operating systems Apple created a handy a list of macOS installers. They go as far back as to macOS Yosemite. The first 3 of them will open and start the update process automatically.

  • macOS High Sierra 10.13
    The 3 following installers will download macOS as a disk image (.dmg) After you unpack it, the macOS updater app will appear in your Applications.

We hope this guide has been of use, and don't forget to clean up your Mac and back it up before you get the classic macOS! Cheers.
