I realize ads on most screens that I have not called when internet browsing with FireFox. .
I think this may have infected my browser when I was looking for a substitute for a PDF program offered by Adobe. I got a free program called PDF Creator. This I think is the culprit, but I don't know about you. Please, I don't know that he is responsible, but certainly timely. I have to say that I tried to remove this program but have had no success. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this naughty or whatever it is that is causing the problem?
Hello, you have an extension named "SaveByclick" installed, that sounds rather suspicious - go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove it.
also run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Recently whenever I start the computer a program named Mac cleaning charge, stat my scanning system and ask to activate. It looks like a third party program that I should pay. Is it an accredited program for mac. If this is not the case, how can block this load upward.
Is it called Advanced Mac Cleaner? If so go here. http://AMC.Kayako.com/Knowledgebase/article/view/4/0/how-to-uninstall-advanced-m ac-cleaner

This is certainly not a normal behavior and may be caused by a virus. Start your computer in Safe Mode with network and run a full scan using your installed anti-virus software.
If you do not have installed the antivirus software or want to perform a second analysis, you can download Microsoft Safety Scanner. You can also find this useful article with tips on how to protect your computer.

Currently, I'm trying to download a Flash update on my MacBook Pro and he always tells me that I have not sufficient permissions to do so. After talking with the Apple support they said that there are no problems with my permissions user that I'm an admin so it's a matter of Adobe. I have the same problem of "permissions" when I try to save changes using photoshop and it drives me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Gina,
Sorry for the inconvenience, using Photoshop and Flash update. Looks like there may be some permissions on system issues.
Two ways to fix this-
- Repair your disk permissions - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201560
- Create a new user account and try to work on this account (create new accounts new own permissions) - es.html #Permissions blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issu
