[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1200221, member: 38864"] If you have never downloaded anything other than from the App Store, then you don't have a trojan. The problem is something else. Try using a different browser for a few days (Firefox, Chrome… whatever suits you) and see if the problem continues to occur. If it does continue to occur, then try creating a new user and see if the problem persists when logged in under that user. These steps will help narrow down whether or not you have a system-wide issue, a user issue, or an app issue. I do wonder if this is a Facebook issue. It's not wise to authorize any old Facebook app that wants to… some of the apps on there do go rogue. You may want to go through your Facebook privacy settings and remove every Facebook app for the time being. It'd also help to know how you are connected to the internet. Do you use a router? What are the DNS settings on your Mac? You can determine this by going to: System Preferences > Network > (select your connection) > Advanced > DNS. [/QUOTE]
