[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 641472, member: 265"] I don't see a place to report something like this, so I'm putting it here. For the second time while I was making a reply to a post on the football forum, my computer was assaulted by a malware application called [I]ManagePages 1.0[/I]. The application downloaded without any prompt by me and installed itself. It purports to be an application for keeping up with all URLs surfed and allow search functions on them. Needless to say, I stopped installation and removed the application at once; there is no way I'm going to allow an extension to Safari (my webrowser) to keep a record of my web searches where they could be easily accessed. I assume that is the reason for the installation. This has only happened when I was making a reply to a football forum post, so I assume that there might be an undetected malware installer at the Swarm server or one attache to it. Luckily, the application and extension seem to be easy to uninstall, but I'm running my virus software as soon as I send this. I looked for the application on-line and couldn't find it. It may be something brand new. Here are the relevant (I guess) system details: MacBook Pro (late 2011) OSX 10.12.6 Safari 12.1.1 See about this. I know, btw, that the app could have been coming from somewhere else and waited for a time before attempting installation. However, it was when I was replying to a Swarm post that it showed up. Sorry if this is all a tempest in a teapot and if I simply missed the "complaint" part of the site. [/QUOTE]
