That selection, in turn, triggers Gatekeeper again to check with Apple, but this time the warning box does give you the option to run the software anyway, even if Apple doesn't have the developer on their approved list or the application didn't come from the Apple Store. The bypass of Gatekeeper is to right-click on the application, which triggers a menu box, and then choosing "Open" from that menu. If not, the installer won't run, as you found.

So, please give us more information about this pop up.Īnd if you think you need to clean your system, the only tool we recommend here is Onyx, from. Otherwise we'd have to tell you to try things all over the spectrum to cover all the possibilities. We need to know before we can tell you what to try. But if it's popping up before you invoke the browser, it's something else that has gotten through to your system. Or it's from an extension or add-on that they installed into your browser. On the popup, is it showing at boot, i.e., with nothing running yet, or is it showing up when you open your browser?
