[QUOTE="mikeross478, post: 1556253, member: 317028"] I have had my Macbook Pro since January and it has been fine until this week. I started noticing that the trackpad and keyboard was freezing yesterday. There are other symptoms that have led me to believe I have a virus: - Keyboard freezing at same time as trackpad - Safari was flickering pixels at the sides yesterday - Warning saying memory stick has been ejected incorrectly has come up a few times even when I haven't took my memory stick out! From what I have told you - is there any risk I have a virus? I am not going to lie, but I visit sites that most teenage boys would visit occasionally, but mainly on my iPad which has been fine since getting it in 2010. I have also downloaded some wallpapers recently from interfacelift, but that site was recommended on here so I doubt that's the issue. Oh, and I watch sports streams (using adblock) on vipboxonline - could this be the cause? Thank you [/QUOTE]
