[QUOTE="vita64, post: 1017779, member: 120135"] Twice now I've gotten messages that the site I'm on might have malware. Both times were major news sites, i.e. sites that shouldn't be risky. Other sites I've visited perhaps weren't that safe, but no messages there. As I was having no problems, I wasn't inclined to worry. Generally, the Mac community isn't plagued by such things ... but I know we're not invulnerable. Yesterday I got a message saying that I needed to upgrade my iPhoto library. When I did so, it became inaccessible to iPhoto and I now have to manually rebuild it. So I wondered if maybe I did pick up some malware somewhere. Or maybe it's just coincidence. I don't even know whether I have any software which could scan for malware or whether there's anything going around currently that the Mac community is aware of. Any words of advice? [/QUOTE]
