Yes unfortunately it is whippet. You can't be too careful nowadays  You can't leave home without locking all the doors and windows and now you can't go on the www without adequate firewall and ant-virus protection. My first layer of defence is the firewall in my router. Then next level of defence is my firewall and anti-virus software on my PC. I also occasionally use the free version of Malwarebytes as an additional anti-virus scanner. |

However, being I do download free things from various sites to use with photoshop....fonts, images, brushes, png files etc. they thought it would be a good idea to run Malwarebytes as Peterj suggested. They stayed on the line with me while I ran the scan which found one file that contained a number of folders. He then suggested I run the scan one more time which I did and everything is clean. Hope I have not alarmed anyone and that this information might be helppful to someone else in the future.
Helen, this is a perfect example of great minds thinking alike. In this case, . . . Apple Support and Pete. Kudos to Pete!
Regardless of the looks and source, something actually triggered the message and just to be certain that something isn't on the computer, nor put something on it I strongly suggest a scan. I myself use NIS 2018 (Windows 10) and NIS 2018 + Windows Defender (Windows 7). I am definitely checking Malwarebytes out.

Peterj and Bailey . I appreciate your concern. I have been out and just returned home. I will probably contact Apple Support tomorrow, before I do anything further. Apple Support provides immediate feedback and I have great trust in them. Hi hmca, No problem, glad to see it's sorted out ok for you  |
