Hi
I know it's not a wise thing to do, bit I recently visited an adult website and downloaded some picture files and started to download an .WMV file, but I stopped it before completion. Afterwards there was a WMV file on my desktop, which I deleted.
I then found out that I could not clear all my browsing history from Firefox - some remained no matter what i tried (these were mostly recent sites, but there were a few dating back a couple of months).
This started me worrying if I had downloaded something like a trojan, so I did an 'Erase And Install' just to be safe.
However, I now can't reset my PRAM - I've tried the command/option/P/R keys when restarting, but all my volume and display settings remain unchanged. Although strangely it does sound the start-up chimes even if I've turned the sound off...
So now I'm worried if there's something in PRAM or wherever that won't let me delete it. Or am I just feeling paranoid/guilty?
Any ideas? Thanks for any suggestions.
