I keep getting malware from DU.

Every time I log in, and try to post something, I get a nasty McAfee ad, or or some pop up telling to call an 877 number to clean a virus off my Windows machine. Except I run macs, only.

Anyone else having this problem?

I've personally never experienced this problem and to the best of my knowledge, no-one has ever posted such a problem.

I'm happy to admit my knowledge of Macs is close to if not equal to zero. But you'll get good advice on the C & I forum.

Hi. although I am a new member here and maybe it was a site issue back in July, I still think that most likely the problem it is in your McAfee antivirus. I think that you should either change it or do something about it. I personally run a ESET Nod 32 and I am all fine. anyway, can you log in normally now?

I deleted all macaque stuff and now rely only on mackeeper. But I also quit using Chrome, and went back to safari, especially Sierra Beta. (which works nicely, BTW)
