[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1736309"] Joe, as Kevin said, you got hijacked, but there isn't anything that permanently harms the Mac in that. As he said, clear out the browser crap you picked up in the hijack by following his directions in post 16, get the malwarebytes software and Onyx from the two sites he gave links for (get the right version of Onyx for your version of the OS) and you should be good to go. You can also look for Ghostery ( [url]https://www.ghostery.com[/url] ) and set it to block everything. Then stay away from dodgy sites (freeware, pirates, porn) and notorious download sites (CNET, Download, Softonic, pretty much any site with "Soft" in the name). I stick with the Mac App Store and the developer websites that I trust or that people I trust, trust. [/QUOTE]
