Your Mac Is Heavily Damaged Alerts are in fact fake alerts that may not only appear on Mac computers but on your Windows based PC as well. These fake alerts can be very annoying; however, if you keep seeing them while browsing the web, chances are your computer has been infected with malware that keeps redirecting you to a scam page. These fake alerts try to make you believe that your computer is heavily damaged by being infected with viruses and you need to download an application right away to fix these serious issues. Of course, this is just an aggressive way to promote low-quality and useless PC optimizer or security software. In other words, this is a scam that tries to fool you into purchasing software that you do not need. What you need is a proper up-to-date anti-malware program that can filter out such scams and all kinds of potential and malicious attacks to protect your Mac or your PC. We suggest that you remove Your Mac Is Heavily Damaged Alerts immediately. But first, let us tell you how and why you may be presented with these annoying fake alerts.

Whenever you see such fake warning messages displayed by suspicious webpages and their pop-up messages, it means that you either clicked on an unsafe third-party content while surfing the web and landing on questionable websites (e.g., online betting, gaming, file sharing, and dating) or you have infected your system with adware programs or other threats capable of redirection. In the first case, it is possible, though highly improbable, that your computer is actually clean and you simply need to close your browser window in order to delete Your Mac Is Heavily Damaged Alerts from your system.

In the second case, it is possible that you have let those threats on board when installing a freeware bundle. This bundle may be dropped when you download free or cracked software or free movies from shady file-sharing websites, such as freeware and torrent pages. But you can also infect your machine with such a software package by clicking on corrupt third-party pop-up and banner ads. A third option is that your computer was already infected when you infected it again. This is why you need to make sure that your system is all clean before you want to go online. Thus, we recommend that after you delete Your Mac Is Heavily Damaged Alerts, you also scan your system with a reputable malware scanner to detect and eliminate all possible threats.

We have found that these fake alerts can be modified according to your operating system and computer. In other words, if you have a Mac, you will see slightly different warnings from a Windows user. These fake alerts are labeled "Download Required" and actually try to push you to "Download and Repair [your OS]" by downloading a possibly low-quality program like PC Keeper. These fake messages claim that your computer has been infect with "Tapsnake" or any other virus and your system security is at high risk now. This is why you must download and repair it by using the promoted software.

Please remember that neither Apple nor Microsoft would show such alerts in case of malware attacks. If you were to click on the download button, you would install a useless tool that may also cost you more than necessary. As a matter of fact, such software usually costs around $30-40 or even more when you end up subscribing for an annual service. We believe that you can find reliable software for similar price that would actually do a great job at protecting your computer. This is why we advise you to remove Your Mac Is Heavily Damaged Alerts from your computer as soon as possible.

Hopefully, it is enough for you to reset your possibly affected browsers to eliminate these fake alerts. We have provided you with the necessary instructions below. Yet, it is possible that you will also need to uninstall any suspicious applications you have installed lately. If you want to make sure that you are not bothered by fake alerts and other potential or malicious threats in the future, you should install a trustworthy malware removal application like SpyHunter as soon as possible.
