I get random redirects and fear that I was hacked. How will I know if this is indeed the case, and if so, how can we solve this problem?
Sometimes, when I click on a link, I redirected to "Browse" gives me a list of links that may or may not have something to do with my research. Also, I play an app on Facebook and feel hella GAL have also been redirected away to randomly selected sites.
Make a check of malware with some scan of malware programs.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database prior to scanning.

How can I solve a problem witht my mouse pointer when it gets to the very big chance?
When I use Firefox, at seemingly random times, my mouse pointer becomes suddenly extra-large. The only 'solution' that I found is to restart the computer.
Hello
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

I get this message at startup ' 3rd Master Hard Disk:S.M.A.R.T. bad condition. " -What this means and how can I solve this problem?
SMART is a technology on newer computers that allows the computer to monitor the health of hard drives in your computer. Something happened to one of your readers that detects the smart as a problem, and she's trying to warn you proactively to this topic before it fails.
It may be also that you have installed a very old hard drive that does not support the CHIP and the monitor reports that it can not read the drive status.
So depending on your level of knowledge and experience, you can watch to replace the hard disk that is reported, or you can disable SMART followed to make the message disappears. The second option but then means if it is really a failure, it is likely any work stoppage or corrupted so data you do note to solve.
