[QUOTE="zerimar3, post: 1299187, member: 30352"] Thanks for the reply. I'll keep looking as to how to remove anything that gets installed on a system. But let me ask you this: How do you know when you're visiting a site that is infected? What if it comes through an email or an attachment? Eventually this has to be purged out. I use ONYX frequently to clean my system, but seeing this pop up reminds me of a Windows based machine, which I have abandoned years ago. The Mac I'm on is used primarily for graphic design and most of my web browsing is limited. Most sites I visit are programmed into the keyboard keys for easy access through the bookmarks folder. Yet apparently this also pops up on iPads as well which is stated in the other forum I linked to in my initial post. So while we can stay away from site that are infected, that's a pretty broad type of solution. [/QUOTE]
