Hi. This is my first time on here and i can really use some help please.

When i started my mac this morning, i noticed that i kept getting ads playing. I closed all programs and restarted my mac, hoping that the problem would go away. But even before i started any programs, the ads keep playing every few minutes.

I did a virus scan and it said that there are no infected files.

I dont know where they are playing from and i figure that there must be a virus or malware on my mac but i cant locate it to fix it.

Can anyone help me out or tell me what i can do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Of course the scan would find nothing as there are no Mac OS X viruses. Have you installed a program such as the notorious MacKeeper lately? Also open your browser preferences and empty the cache and reset.
