BROWSER UPGRADE PROBLEMS ALL FAMILY AND FRIENDS PLEASE BEWARE OF ANY SEARCH ENGINE OR BROWSER TELLING YOU TO UPGRADE! WHEN I INSTALLED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A NEWER GOOGLE CHROME BROWSER IT ALSO INSTALLED A VERY STUBBORN ADWARE WHICH I COULD NOT REMOVE EVEN AFTER FORCING THAT VERSION OUT OF MY (iMAC) AS IT HAD INSTALLED THE MALWARE DIRECTLY INTO MY YAHOO HOMEPAGE AND OTHER PAGES THAT I REGULARLY VISITED. THE POPUPS AND DISAPPEARING PAGES OCCURRED EVERY MINUTE AND EVEN RE-OCCURRED AFTER I CLOSED THE WINDOWS. I REINSTALLED MY OLDER CHROME BROWSER WHICH I HAD DELIBERATELY SAVED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINED BECAUSE THE ADWARE WAS EMBEDDED. AT LAST I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND A SOLUTION (FOR A MAC) BY UNPLUGGING MY COMPUTER WHEN THE PERSISTENT ADWARE WOULD NOT LET ME CLOSE A PAGE UNLESS I EXECUTED THEIR COMMAND. I KIND OF PUT THE MALWARE IN A SUSPENDED ANIMATION THAT WAY AND IT IS NOW GONE. IN ADDITION, IF YOU GET NOTICES THAT YOU NEED TO CONSULT A SERVICE THAT CAN REMOVE THE ADWARE, IT HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY PLACED THERE BY THE SAME ADWARE SO DO NOT CONSULT WITH THE COMPUTER SERVICE FIRM AS THEY WILL SAY THAT YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND IS RIFE WITH SPYWARE AND NEEDS AN EXPENSIVE FIX ONLY OBTAINABLE FROM THEM! DO NOT EVER TAKE THE ADVICE OF AN ONLINE CONSULTANT WHO CLAIMS HE CAN RID YOUR COMPUTER OF SPYWARE, MALWARE, VIRUSES AND ADWARE, ETC.
