[QUOTE="sereneaspiratio, post: 627589, member: 52479"] I downloaded Avast from the Mac site and it showed that I had a virus on my Macbook....I also downloaded, from the Mac site, their spyware scanner and I have spyware too and I am not running Windows on my computer. Trouble is, this was done with the free version and a "quick scan" only...not the full scan or you have to pay for it. I am totally freaked out because our Windows has so many virus problems that I want to buy Quicken and only use my Mac for online banking but I cannot afford to buy the full anti-spyware program plus Quicken for Mac. I fear a complete reinstall but am fearful of doing so....I live in FL and was not allowed to purchase the Mac Warranty so basically, I am on my own. Thank goodness for these forums! [/QUOTE]
