So, you think you've mastered the new world, and then you find yourself back in Switcher Hangout - because it still seems the best place to get the answers.
Here's my question:
I'm in another forum which has suddenly been blocked by Firefox - turns out it was sending out malicious software and Trojans etc.
Am I immune to this? Being a Macbook OS X user etc? Or can these still get into my software programs (Safari/Firefox etc)?
My browsers have slowed down recently and I'm on a high spec Macbook with a strong wireless signal right beside me.
Should I trash them and do a clean install - or is that Windowsthink?
I've been an active member of the forum concerned for a long time and was permanently signed in.
Here's the report I get when I try to visit the forum:
