Hi Guys,
As of this morning, Im getting this pop-up on startup?
Is it legit or should I take steps to get rid of it?

ZipCloud may be a cloud storage option, but with a somewhat dubious reputation.
I get the same slimy feel from that as I do with MacKeeper (another one to ignore, if you can 😀 )
If you search for ZipCloud, you can often find both ZipCloud and MacKeeper mentioned in the same articles.

Here's a page that may help you out.
It describes the same popup that you are seeing, along with how to remove it.

I would suggest that you also download and run the free utility Malwarebytes.

Again, if you do a little searching, ZipCloud may not be malware, but it seems to travel alongside malware - another good reason to move it out (away from you!)

Much appreciated,
Sounds like a lot more complicated than my skill level
Will try Malwarebytes, if that doesn't work will get professional help

Well,
Some heads-up, after having a look at the Malwarebytes and trying to follow their instructions,
I found the ZipCloud sitting in Applications!
I dragged it into the trash can and emptied trash,
Re-started, gone now! (I hope! 🙂)
I downloaded a video on flyfishing yesterday, obviously cost me more than the $10 download apparently
Thank you again for all your help
