Some of us know all that and a bit more. The issue I reported is not a popup.

The nuisance program is called Mac Cleanup Pro. Fortunately it's well known if you search for more details, and there's guidance on YouTube for steps to get it off your machine. That's what I did.

Not for me. This was strictly triggered by this site under Safari and I have no Extensions in Safari and no Babylon app at all. It has since stopped, without any action on my side.

Agree - I stopped getting the spam ware too - no action on my part. Safari on MacBook Air. IB must have fixed something.

Just got the spam message this morning. iPad with safari. I had to close the safari app completely and restart to get it to stop displaying.

Same. This site is almost unusable at times.
