    Might be the 'wannacry' virus from North Korea?

    I was “hijack” free for some time and now it seems every time I come to palace I get hijacked for an amazon offer. It could be my computer again but with everything going on I just wanted to let those “in the know” know in case it is within this site. Probably not but it don’t hurt to communicate. Right?

    Dunno about iPhones or iPads but on a Mac clear your history & delete your cookies. From the "Develop" Menu empty your caches . Also run a Malware/Adware checker &/or Anti Virus.

    Never happened to me since switching to McAfee. Free Microsoft AVG is a nightmare though. Comes with adware en malware unfortunately.

    I have had that issue for a while. Not too much seems to work for long. What are some of the better adware/malware programs (for Apple) out there?

    I'm very happy with McAfee, though I do not own Apple stuff. Should work for Apple I presume.
