    Pretty sure I have Malware on my Mac. I am looking for suggestions for a good program to do the removal.

    Thanks,

    Is Malwarebytes compatible with MAC? Free download works awesome for me.

    ^^ I think so. Malwarebytes would be my first try.

    What’s it doing Francisco?

    To start with, I have not changed any settings. I am still running Safari. I am getting Pop-Ups galore. The short of it is, they are saying that I have spyware and that the security of my computer is at risk.

    Sounds like you need Adblock. Do a search for Adblock for
    mac or Safari. It helped on windows.

    As far as I know there shouldn’t be any popup ads showing on IDO. If are seeing them here it may be from a tool bar add on to your browser. I have a ultrabook for when ever I need to be mobile and my wife borrowed it not to long ago. I opened it up the other day to test in IE and seen ads here that shouldn’t have been. (jumped to the conclusion that the site had been exploited – was just my laptop lol) Also may have given James a heart attack when I left a voice mail. D

    I really dislike windows – feel dirty every time I use it. lol

    Update:

    I slowly went through my OS and Extensions that were on Safari and Chrome. I found a few that looked suspicious and decided to get rid of all the extensions. I also updated to the newest OS for Mac. It has been a week and everything seems to to be running smooth, fast, and with out the aforementioned Pop-Ups.

    Dave, I never thought it was an IDO website issue.

    Thanks,

    FDR
