Wisest Elder Ever
|
about a month ago I clicked on two medical type links... a few days apart, and then this ticker started downloading some
"program"...which I did not authorize! I could not get out of it...no clicking worked anywhere. So I control/alt/deleted it. When I resumed Firefox after rebooting, it started AGAIN....so I closed down totally. This happened twice. Good thing I was fast on the draw. I ran all our "ware" and nothing was found. So do you think I am safe? I don't remember what the program was...some sort of spyware thingey... it was really stealth if you ask me! It had nothing to do with the Google link I clicked on!
