[QUOTE="Maxy, post: 1052209, member: 78729"] YOU HAVE DONE IT pjhutch.....relief has set in got rid of the greyed out sites as follows - bit different to the article though. I went to Mac HD then Library then Internet Plug-Ins and sure enought there was a file named, "plugins.settings". I emptied that to the trash, closed all the apps down and emptied the trash as described. then in the finder Q in the top right of the screen, typed in "Terminal", then into that typed " sudo crontab -r " and whilst password came up i could not type my password in. then i figured maybe correctly or incorrectly i dont know that because i was logged into a user and not the admin I could not access it. so restarted and thought that i would just take a peek in my user before i went into terminal in admin. A joyous moment it was to see those dodgy ukrainian addresses missing. Yeeee haaaa. Now to ring Apple and let them know... Cheers & Thanks everyone for all your assistance Maxy (as i have typed this i keep checking my dns but it is clean) [/QUOTE]
