[QUOTE="LazyCarrot, post: 1479511, member: 286223"] Looks like I've been hacked - certain keywords on webpages are hyperlinked to show adverts etc. These hyperlinks only show up on my iMac, not when viewing on my Macbook. So, it looks like iMac has been infected. This happens when I view in either Safari or Firefox. In 20+ years of being a Mac User it's the first time I've ever picked up a nasty, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here... Any suggestions on how I go about cleaning this out? Running: OSX 10.6.8 iMac: 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo [/QUOTE]
