[QUOTE="peebee1uk, post: 1648075, member: 341831"] Hello. I have inadvertently downloaded 'Search Protect' which I believe is adware. It has the effect of highlighting certain words which show popup ads when rolled over (even on this page). Deleting and uninstalling it has not worked. I wondered if anyone can advise me how I might safely remove it from my Macbook Pro drive? I am not aversed to a full wipe and reinstall if necessary. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
