The website is lying and it trying to make your computer have either viruses (which wont happen), have trojans or spam.

It means you’re gullible and believed it

Just joking. Nothing to worry, its simply a spam site that’s trying to sell bogus products.

If you’re frequently stumbling on these kinds of sites, I recommend that you switch to Firefox and use the Adblock Plus extension. This will block nasty advertisements like these.

Probably means if you had a pc you should be more careful what you click on.

Thankfully you’re on a MAC though.

Still might want to be a little more careful with clicking.:)

Its a scam you must be infected with a virus. Go here and install MBAM. Do a full scan and once finished delete all threats. Before you scan make sure you update MBAM first. FYI, MBAM is probably the most powerful virus scanner. I use it and its the best! Heres the link for the download guaranteed 100% virus free:http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Dont forget, the free version not the full version.

If you can provide more information, or have any more questions, please email me via. my profile.

those websites are faked they are spam and virus themselves, you should never click on them just close them.

to make sure check your system with a real antivirus.

If you were on a PC, you would get a virus by clicking on it. Since macs aren’t compatible with PC viruses, they won’t affect your computer. When macs are built, a UNIX program is installed. That program makes it impossible to receive a PC virus.
