[QUOTE="Brandonn, post: 1138321, member: 178618"] Hey guys, I'm new, first post so please take it easy on me! I've got the Epoclick.com bug on my MacBook Pro and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. All it is, is a pop up window that comes up completely randomly when I click links browsing through the internet, Google also comes up with some pretty funky searches not related to what I myself am searching. I've come to the end of my knowledge on what to do and now seek help in finding it as this is my first Mac and I'm only about 2 months into it. :) I've done a search but came up empty on this thing.. I believe it came when I downloaded the Frostwire filesharing program, so that should help narrowing down the search. I've tried the following: - cleared/reset Safari's cache/history etc etc.. - reinstalled Safari - removed/reinstalled Frostwire - Installed iAntiVirus and did a search, passed everything. - Installed Apple's TechTool Deluxe off the Protection Plan CD, ran diagnostics and it passed everything except for the last bit.. 'Volume Structure' - Tried browsing through different files/folders to find any suspicious programs I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4 I've reached the end of my knowledge on what to do and am trying to avoid a trip to the Mac store. I'm fairly computer literate in the Windows world so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! -Brandon [/QUOTE]
