    Lmao! OK--I guess I may have opened myself up for that one.

    However, you must've missed the first sentence of my post, Junior. Now go back to bottle flipping or playing your PS4...or whatever it is you 9 year-olds do these days

    John,
    First, just so the tech police dont come after you, MacBook Pro and all Macs run on a OS/OSX now called MacOS, only the mobile products run iOS. Now for what you are looking for, in my opinion and experience, I would recommend you use your time machine to go back to a date before the problems occured. If you do not have that setup or do not know a good date, then I reccomend that you back up (iCloud, Flash drive, etc.) all of your personal files. After that, upgrade your computer to the newest OS. If you do that or have done that and still have issues, you can reset your computer as if you were going to sell it. When you turn it back on it will welcome you like when you bought it, except with the lateest software you installed. Then you can activate all of the programs that you had previously registered by downloading them. Your Apple ID is all you will need for that.

    On a side note, you or someone using the computer probably clicked one of the many ads or emails that tell you you have a problem or need to speed up your Mac, or that you have been infected. All of these are crap, never click or believe it. It is VERY, VERY rare to actually get a virus or spyware on MacOS by just surfing or using the machine.

    Here are the instructions for the restart: http://www.imore.com/how-to-prepare-mac-for-sale

    Thanks MG. I appreciate the suggestion. I have the most recent version of OS/OSX and I was able to download AVG for Mac. Scanned the computer and it appears all infected files were swept, identified, quarantined, and ultimately deleted. Damn Flash Player update was what got me I believe. As soon as I clicked on that update, things went south.

    All good for now. Thank again Maggie Glover.

    Never heard of it LL.

    I got my tech people to put sophos (end point security and control, I typed that because I'm not quite sure if there's a difference) on six of my desktops. I haven't had a problem in a few years now. I don't get all crazy searching the net, but my employees have access to five of them. Now, if they can't find away to get some sort of a virus that's saying something.

    I was having trouble with one older employee who clicked on everything and installed freeware and ended up with a bunch of crap on his pc. It took a while to get it clean but I installed malwarebytes (paid version) on all of our machine and have not had any trouble since. Just got the email that the one year subscription is renewing, so I guess it was a year ago that I installed. Not a freebie, but it wasn't free when I spent 4 hours cleaning it up, either.
