[QUOTE="sereneaspiratio, post: 627623, member: 52479"] First of all...hello to you guys too and thanks already for your efforts. Brypto, the only possible things I can think of are a few downloads that I have since removed from my MacBook...a Sudoko game, cannot remember the name or where I downloaded from. My husband asked me to download Limewire but I trashed that also (plus I do not feel comfortable with Limewire anyway). My children wanted Plant Tycoon (I trashed that as well). Finally, I downloaded some sort of "Turbo Download". Hearing that Macs never get Spyware or Viruses probably gave me a false sense of security and I do not download anything anymore unless I know it is a trusted site. BTW, after I uninstalled the Turbo Downloader (linked to from the MAC site) now Safari will not let me download from many locations. Not all, but many. For instance, I cannot download FireFox...and yes, Java is enabled. Thanks again! :-) [/QUOTE]
