Hello everyone,
I apologize if this has been discussed in another thread. I could not find it and would very much like your input.
It appears that there is a problem with youtube's homepage on some macs currently. I have a mid year 2009 MBP running 10.7.5 and just last night i discovered that every time i would go to the youtube home page website that i would see a Samsung Galaxy ad that looked like it was trying to load. Fairly soon thereafter my MBP would freeze up and could only be set back to working order by re-booting using the power button.
My hard drive is fine, but there is definitely a problem here.
Upon doing a Google search it appears that there is a malware issue and i am hoping that Apple is working on a fix for this soon.
I guess my question is...what should i do in the meantime? Ive tried both Safari and Firefox and both are having the same issue.
For now i will just stay off youtube but its unfortunate because i like to visit youtube often.
Please let me know what you think and any advice is most appreciated.
my best to you and many thanks,
rick
