    Had this on my apple pro this weekend and it caused lots of glitching when internet searching. Anyone come across this virus? When I deleted it from the ""Manage data" area it reappeared repeatedly.

    Thanks con747 ... impressively quick reply! Thought I had gotten rid of it but after posting here the virus reappeared! I'm not great in this area and have found my mac to be pretty good at avoiding viruses in the past. Conducted a clean over the weekend (I'm sure that's not the proper technical term!) but the downside of this is that I can't locate my old downloads (only the previous 7 day downloads appear). Thanks again
