[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1604704"] ANNNNND Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the culprit! Pron sites ALWAYS imbed malware, ALWAYS. And iSoft is one of those miscreants that do that sort of ad-malware bombs. IT's very hard to get rid of it, but what definitely works is nuke and pave. Backup your personal files then boot into the recovery partition ([URL="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/03/how-to-boot-into-os-x-lions-recovery-hd-partition/"]Link[/URL]). Format the hard drive, reinstall OSX, then restore you personal files. You may have to reinstall some applications, particularly anything you have from MicroSoft and Adobe, and since some of them keep track, I'd uninstall them before the nuke'n'pave to de-register them so the reinstall goes smoothly. You don't have to worry about reinfection if the X movie is gone. If you want, the Genius can do this for you, but make your own backups first. It's relatively easy to do, Apple makes it as adult-proof as they can. [/QUOTE]
