Hi,
First of all I run and have been running the free Sophos Anti-virus for Mac for the past year or more. Am running version 7.3.10C on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I am based in Lima Peru...
Since yesterday afternoon I have been plagued with the message Nova atualizacao disponivel (in portugese no less) on Facebook regardless of what browser I try to use,,, Safari, Chrome or Firefox... See the screenshot for more...
Clicking the link tries to install an trojan masquerading as chrome.exe I simply force quit the browser here
Steps I have taken to try eliminate this persistent popup are..
cleaning cookies, caches and history on all 3 browsers....
running a full sweep of the hard drive with the Virus Scanner (100% clean)
running a complete maintenance clean with OnyX and rebooting...
Let me stress here that my web browsing is not affected anywhere else but on facebook... after the reboot all seemed okay for a few hours and then suddenly the menace is back again!
Once this message appears I am effectively 'frozen out',,, and have to force quit... I am getting all sorts of issues from not being able to post to 404's and plain non-responsiveness when clicking on facebook links! Bottom line... Facebook has now become unusable on my mac...
I have done a terminal search for Flashback... all clear there too,,,
Need your help
Thanks
Alex
