Ad-injection software

[HaydnHaydn]

I am blocked from the Internet because some site wants me to download an update I don't want, I can access Safari preferences they are 'greyed out' can anyone help please it has happened before and Apple fixed it remotely then sent me instructions which start with open Safari preferences which I cant do

Force quit Safari

Whichever you're using, either turn off your wifi or disconnect the ethernet cable.

Reopen Safari and close the offending tab.

you can then turn your wifi back on or reconnect your ethernet cable.

And download the following for Safari. This so called ransomware is the latest scam on the 'net':-

1. AdBlockPlus.

2. Ghostery.

3. AdwareMedic the best malware remover available.

And HaydnHaydn has a ring about it like my neighbour Robert Roberts.

Thanks fo your input mate I'll look them up, I used to think Apple were immune from these sort of problems, but I know it's my fault 'cos I was looking around sites for old Virginian TV programmes so I deserved it.
Thanks again

lol - been there while looking for Rawhide (and quite a few others)...

about the best place I've found for The Virginian is youtube

 

[HaydnHaydn]

I know where to get the first three seasons of rawhide but I don't know if you can say it on these forums

 

[bobtomay]

Probably not...

My cable provider has a channel that runs the "Virginian" and many other old westerns but I don't believe I've seen any "Rawhide" shows. The old "Rawhide" series with Clint Eastwood were really great. Clint ("Rowdy Yates") was probably in his early twenties when that series was shot.

Not seen 'Rawhide'? You young whipper snappers are a disgrace to the American West and Texas eh Tom?
