[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1840689, member: 131855"] Softonic isn't exactly harmful merely annoying at this point. It used to be a decent place to download software but now ads this junk to their downloads. Try this and see if it gets rid of things for you. These directions are for Safari but should be similar for other web browser: 1. Start Safari and open its preferences )from the Safari menu or press command ,). 2. At top of the window that appears click the Websites tab (Globe). 3. Search the list for Softonic and change the setting to Deny. 4. Click in the General tab (first one) and make sure the settings are as you want them then close the window. 5. Quit Safari then launch it again to see if things are fixed. [/QUOTE]
