Hello,
First off I'm not that much of a tech savy person. I know basics but that is about it.
I have gotten a virus/or malware on my mac (running 10.6.8)
whenever I try to goto amazon it brings me to the unblock-us website (I can post it here, but I dont know if that is bad for you all to click on)
I have downloaded clamxav and protectmac antivirus and both came up with nothing.
Please help!
