[QUOTE="SweetPea, post: 1168851, member: 184015"] I was on the internet just looking for sweater patterns, when all of a sudden a website came up and seemed to be scanning my computer. Then a small screen came up, I don't remember what it said, but I tried to think how to delete it, didn't seem to be a way, then I tried to shut down Safari, couldn't, then I tried to manually turn off the computer. As you may have figured out I WAS a PC owner & am still new to Apple/Mac. I finally figured out about Force Quit and did that. Then I did a Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions. It went through its work and the last message was this: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. Then I went to History in Safari and found these locations: My computer online scan Expertaudiocenter.com/aioUmpLW/ What can I do to make sure my computer is safe? I have been told that I do not need McAfee or Norton is this correct? What can I do to make sure I can continue to enjoy surfing. I LOVE MY MAC. [/QUOTE]
