firstly, i use firefox for internet, and when searching something simple into google, when i click on a link sometimes im redirected to an advertisement that has nothing to do with what i was searching.. then i will go back to google and try it again and it will work this time, always works the second time. not a big deal but very annoying, is there an adaware type of program for mac that will get rid of any spyware on my mac?

second, i downloaded an avi file, the video works but the sound doesnt. i converted the file to mp4 and the vid and audio work. i use flip4mac, i just thought this was weird, anything i can do?

It sounds to me like you're being lured into the Google sponsored ads. Since you're using Firefox (like a good lad/lass) I highly recommend installing AdBlock Plus!

AVI is a container format, therefore the audio and video streams can be anything. But yes, VLC is the bomb. MPlayer is rather good too.

Search pop up

I have same problem, Where do you get MacScan? Ad Block for Firefox doesn't cut it.
