My browser is Chrome, but over time I've picked up a Global Search App called Firesearch. It is basically malware that can slow and limit your browsing and possibly steal information. I keep none of my personal information either laptop. It is on a memory stick.
I've been savvy enough to remove Firesearch in the past, but now any options to remove it are grayed out so it has basically taken over my Mac. The Geek Squad originally said it would be easy to remove, but after a thorough look at my laptop they can't determine the source of Firesearch, so they are keeping it for a couple of days. They said they couldn't believe how tricky this malware is. It is apparently pretty prevalent as I've read threads about people trying to remove it. I looked at new Macbook Pros today and they are running $1,200. I'd rather pay $200 to keep my old one in good shape. Scary stuff.
