Remove Open-plugin.com (Mac OS X) virus

Open-plugin.com is a fake website that tries to trick you into thinking your Mac is infected with a virus. In reality, the Open-plugin.com site is a scam and fake. Open-plugin.com is related to Mac adware and malware apps.

Not only adware is responsible for the Open-plugin.com pop-up ads. On the Internet, advertising networks also redirect your web browser to Open-plugin.com. Some websites redirect users through advertising networks to generate revenue. Therefore your Mac Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox browser may end up on the Open-plugin.com landing page.

I recommend that you check your computer for adware with Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes is free to check your computer for adware. If adware is found on your computer, you can use Malwarebytes to remove it for free.

This way, you will not run the risk of unwanted advertisements from Open-plugin.com and other sites that redirect your browser again.
