Hi Kevin. I have noticed that on quite a few sites. You must be careful which button you click to download as the one you do NOT want is often more prominent.
Only issue I have now is each time I boot my iMac I get this message. “A keychain cannot be found”. Any ideas how to correct that would be appreciated ? > On 20 Mar 2017, at 8:00 am, Kevin Lock <[email protected]> wrote: > > Download sites such as Softonic have a large button or big green arrow to > download what a person is led to believe is what they are after…..turns out > to be a piece of software which is definitely not wanted. > > Kev > http://lockfamilyramblings.blogspot.com.au > > >> On 20 Mar 2017, at 7:34 am, Peter Hinchliffe <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> >>> On 17 Mar 2017, at 9:20 am, Stephen Chape <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> That may well be my next move Peter. >>> Although I thought all downloads required my admin password. >>> >>> >> >> Downloads normally do not require authentication, but Application Installers >> certainly do, so just how Mac Keeper ended up on your computer remains a >> mystery.
