hi gigi to make sure you are updated on JAVA, the first thing is to determine if JAVA is installed. to do this, go to your applications folder, then go into utilities, go to JAVA preferences. run it, if it presents a message saying it needs to download java, please install it, it then connects to the software update interface and installs straight away. when installed, then load it. quit it, then use the scripts provided on the link in my last email
or here http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/06/tech/web/mac-flashback-trojan-check/index.html then run these scripts. if they tell you they cannot find the files, your system is safe. any problems, please drop me a line, if you're on skype, I'll walk you through if you need it. take care. lew On 10 Apr 2012, at 19:32, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi Max. > I'm not the one to answer that question.
