url:Mal popup comes up all the time
« on: July 12, 2016, 03:21:23 AM »
So I do not get any threat when I go through a full scan, but once or twice everyday I g et a popup with a url:MAL warning that looks like this...



I am not sure if this threat should be taken seriously or not but I would like to get rid of it if possible. I guess it has something to do with an internet cookie???

What is the process it is infecting and what is it trying to do?

So it is a Mac ?   if so then the guide Asyn gave link to is of no use


URL is blacklisted > Dr.Web: known infection source

I know his guide will not work, I am just wondering what is happening that causes the site to have an attempted connection? Is Safari trying to retrieve the favicon.ico in case I looked through my history so it could display the little icon?
