You have Spyware on your computer? And you are running OS X, 10.4.5?!?
Quick, call the trade papers... this officially makes you the FIRST
OS X
user to have spyware on their computer.
Spyware, as of right now, does not exist for OS X. I have no idea what
"diagnostics" the tech did over the phone, but they are flat out
wrong...
and clueless... and just gave you a canned Windows response to shuttle
you off the phone and shift the blame off them.
What difficulties are you having with the Internet, maybe some of the
resident geeks on this list can be of better service to you.
Firstly thanks for your prompt response Chris.
Let's see, for the last couple of days Safari and Text edit just
freeze up for no apparent reason while I'm on the net. Never ever had
that issue before. Force quit. Now this recent phenomena may or may
not be related to anything.
This morning when I could not access the internet nor could I
retrieve or send mail, that's what precipitated my call to the ISP.
He had me shut off my computer and power down the cable modem. Turn
computer/modem back on and he then did a ping test(whatever that is)
and then based on the results proclaimed I had some kind of spyware
on my computer which he acknowledged was unusual for a Mac. BUT given
my recent personal history, I fully expected this. What do I mean? I
am without a doubt under direct personal attack by someone with a
great deal of power and have been so for that last year, so I fully
expected something like this. Recently I received several unusual
emails from a party I've never heard of. I never get spam until now.
I suspect that's where this problem came from.
That said I do want to ascertain whether or not I have something on
my computer that is not in my interest.
