[QUOTE="ekandre, post: 1161580, member: 167711"] MacBook 2,1 Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X 10.4.11 Hello. Would you be able to help me figure out how to get rid of some sort of malicious bug in my MacBook? When I have FireFox open, without my knowledge additional windows will open in the background, usually with articles, advertisements, and sometimes videos. I always close them, but others will pop up later. I've run Sophos and MacScan. MacScan found 9 tracking cookies, which it deleted. I thought maybe my problems might have been connected with HotSpot Shield, which I had downloaded a couple of months ago. I deleted it using Amnesia. Still having the problems, however... I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
