Hello. First time posting on this site so hopefully I am posting it in the right place. Apologies if not. I've been having issues with myMacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009). I have my input source language set as "Irish" however, as of today any time I log in (after the computer being shut down) the input source language has switched itself to "U.S." which I then have to go and change back to "Irish"

I havent changed anything major of late. The only thing I can think of is that I accidently clicked a link in a spam email which linked to a "Linkbucks" site which then had a "skip this ad" button which again i foolishly clicked which inturn led to a jpg image of someones facebook. I googled "Linkbucks" and read that it is a web browser hijacker virus which can then change your settings etc.

I ran Clamx Av to see if anything out of sorts was on my comp but nothing came up. Am I just being paranoid here thinking some linkbucks virus has infected my computer? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
