Hi, I am after some help and advice please.

As of this morning, if I type in anything into google search, I get a red screen with a malware alert coming up.

On two separate Mac computers in the house, but not on the Ipad.

If I use Safari as the browser, everything is fine.

Any advice appreciated.

What browser are you using when everything is not fine?

Check your date time settings - if they are incorrect https pages will give errors

Check what extensions are installed, see if there's anything nefarious? Three dots / more tools / extensions.

What is the exact text on the message that comes up? Might be worth a google search for that exact string of text in case there is an easy fix for whatever malware it is

I have just reset Chrome, and now it is working fine.
