[QUOTE="sombrA77, post: 1653074, member: 349093"] [b]help with phishing website/ cleaning a mac[/b] Hi. thanks. Nope definitely paid them no money. No software attached or downloads, only phishing website alert with phone number "helpline" and an inability to open other windows. Why I need a clean, in case they got all my codes. What I just now did is called apple support at 626 463 6223. Got a call back from same woman at 916 399 7992 number. We didn't reset codes, just did some things with rebooting while holding the shift key (which got rid of the freeze), reset some things in preferences, and threw out the cache folder. Then emptied the trash. She suggested downloading adwaremedic, but I was hesitant to download anything until I knew more about it. Thanks for your advice! [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
