    I have a mac book pro with Safari OS..some kind of Hack, secret virus/stroke key etc..and I need help in trying to fix it. I need to be contacted at the hotmail address, as I go to the library to get this uncompromised email. If you write, I will reply with problem in detail as much as I can explain-I am not too computer literate..I DO know who has done it. I guess that is a start..They say they are better than any APPLE hackers, techs, genius bar etc. and cannot be detected..

    thanks.. [email removed by moderator]

    Why would anyone email you?

    Post the problem instead of phishing for email adresses.

    Sorry, but if you wish to use the resources of this forum, then they need to be done here - not over email. Thank you.

    I agree with post #2, for future reference it is good forum etiquette to *share* the results of the problem solving process. Post the details and members will try to help you.

    #1. That's not Safari OS, it's a version of OS X.
    #2. The Safari web browser on OS X has been hacked before (that's a bit of another story, though...)
    #3. What's the problem?

    **LEVEL 5 TROLL ALERT**

    I seriously doubt that this guy has any honourable intentions. The wording of his post sounds more like he's trying to get apple fanboys rushing to help him.

    I smell a rat....

    Safari is not an OS, it is a browser. I'm assuming you mean Mac OS X Tiger/Leopard.

    And what they say is what they say, right...and there's always an easy solution: re-install.
