Re: Is Safari Security Alert Legit?

2014-11-22 Thread Mac Carter 
I’m probably stepping into an on-going conversation, but it sounds like you 
have some “adware” on your computer. This happened to me recently. I clicked on 
a link by mistake and before I could count to 3, I had popup ads on my screen. 
I recommend you consider installing and running AdMedic: 
http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php >. 
It is shareware and well a donation. 

Cheers,
Mac

Thanks guys, as I suspected. I'm glad I checked. And the webpage looks so 
slick and Applelike. Anyway, before I posted here before supper, I called 
that phone number and cut the connection after a few fishy minutes. Did not 
like where that was going.

That would be impressive considering that ‘pre OS7’ days also predates ‘world 
wide web’ days; OS 7 and WWW both share the same birth year:1991:-)

Also Jeez I’m old…I REMEMBER the Pre OS 7 days! 

I went to the bookstore on campus with a box full of new 800K floppy disks to 
get it; OS 7 was free from them because they were an apple dealer. 

What a long, strange, circular trip it’s been! Free to $120, back to free again.

That’s faker than the worst SyFy Sharknado Versus DinoCroc movie.

Call it for service only if you feel that your bank account is just too full. 
Forget that, call ME if you feel your bank account is just too full! I’ll 
actualloffer more help and won’t install Malware ;-)
