I got a page called Webpageing.com opened every time I try to use my browser. I don’t know how to replace it with my favourite page. To be honest, I’m a computer illiterate. Is my computer infected with something bad? My security tool didn’t tell me anything abnormal. Should I be worried? I always get strange pop-ups during the use and my computer now is slower and slower. How do I solve this issue? Any idea?

Last night I was on Safari, I got a pop-up window saying that “your mac has been blocked for security reasons”. I thought my browser might have been hijacked. It then says I should call the number listed for tech support. Every time I clicked ok, the window keeps returning. When I clicked X to close the window, it then asks me ‘Are you sure you want to leave this page?’ and gives me 2 options: Stay on page or Leave page. If i clicked on leave page it send me back to the previous window that keeps forcing me to call the toll free number. I don’t know what to do now. Do I really need to call that number? Will it really lock my mac?
What is “Your mac has been locked for security reasons call this number” pop up on Safari?
Mac users: Beware of increased tech support scam pop-ups
Nowadays, many Apple users have reported receiving pop-up notifications telling them that ‘your mac has been locked for security reasons’ and trick them into calling a phone number, where they will inevitably be asked to pay to have their precious devices fixed. This is a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser Safari, the default web browser for iOS devices. The pop-up is often caused by adware or potentially unwanted program. It commonly appears after you open an email attachment, download files, visit websites programmed to download malicious software or click on a pop-up advertisement. Once it is installed, it takes control of your web browser and blocks Safari immediately preventing you from surfing the web properly. Whenever you go online, an ad from the tech support scam will pop-up. Those pages are usually fraudulent websites such as http://www.applesecurityalert.com and http://www.securityservicedesk.com which are used by cyber criminals to promote their remote support services. It falsely claims that your Mac computer was involved in criminal activities and then it lists some crimes involving copyright and related rights law violations, distribution of prohibited pornographic content. In some cases, it may say ‘potentially threat detected’ and state that your mac computer is infected so that you need to call their paid support service to remove the infection. This is a bogus claim.
