Why is the number removed? Shouldn't it stay up as a warning?

hello, it's good that you asked, but this is a clear scam. we don't want to advertise this number!

could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

I'm sorry but I shut down my Mac and I am on my iPad. If I powered up my computer would I be able to retrieve that info?

yes, this was to see what extensions you have installed to make sure that this kind of pop-up was only opened by a website and not something malicious that is already active on your system.

This thread was about a Mac OSX user who got a popup making a false claim and not a Windows user being infected by it.
