When I click on a site search in the internet it redirects me to a spam site. Any suggestions.

or just run malwarebytes, then if you are using IE(i am assuming) goto tools, internet options, connections, then LAN settings, and select auto detect, there is a chance that could have been changed.

That's because people don't really waste time writing malicious stuff for macs because it's not worth any money.

If that ever changes, then RIP to the false sense of security that many Mac owners have (including myself)

Delete the browser that you are using and then re-download using internet explorer. Also Microsoft Essentials or Malwarebytes are your best bet for free anti-virus.

I have one and something attacked my laptop before.  People should develop a lot more mac viruses, then apple fanboys wouldn't have something to brag about anymore
