Hi there I suddenly got a pop up window when I was browsing Facebook. It says
Your video player is infected!
System has two malicious viruses: Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy und Trojan.FakeAV-Download. Your personal and financial information is not secure.
Is this a virus? I am sorry if I asked a stupid question but I am really confused. I am using Mac with google chrome as my browser.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Well, you can relax... BOTH of the "infections" it lists ( a "Rootkit" and a "Trojan").... WON'T run on a Mac, so you KNOW it's a fake. There's NO WAY it could have detected WIndows malware on a system running OS X.
I'd stay away from that Facebook page, and report it to them.
