It¡¯s unlikely your Mac has any malware. macOS is quite good at protecting you against that. Scamming attempts, while malicious, are necessarily related.
Have you considered a 15¡± MacBook Air? You can get one with 1TB for about $1600. Maybe Best Buy has better deals.

Time to get new laptop. At Bestbye today, I liked the 16¡± 1 tb model. This could be my last computer but I don¡¯t have a lot of time to research. The costs may be considerably higher in a month or two according to the salesman.
I had to leave my current 2017 laptop with Geek squad for 3days to check for malware after being almost scammed today.
Any opinions on the 16 inch one I am considering. My geek squad cost and warranty will be available as long as I buy new equipment there.
Thanks!
