Malware: ...facebook...php?

RRS
Hi, iMac with Sophos AntiVirus for Mac Home Edition here. Two nights ago, while browsing www.bikeradar.com, a box popped up saying '...facebook....php' was trying to open something. It was if I was trying to upload a file. I clicked cancel, closed Firefox and Mail, and performed a scan. Sophos found no threats, but I want to understand what happened and why. Is this something I should worry about? Or, just an add on the site with bad code? Thanks!

    Hello KenC102,

    I [...] was wondering if Mac's need anti-virus as much as PC's?

    with Macs - or Mac users - nowadays being targeted the same way as Windows users the risk is non-negligible and as much is rather an academic question. Note that Sophos offers a paid version only for enterprises and the HE is identical in terms of protection (and has its own forum at SophosTalk).
