    Default Good News and Bad News

    The Good News: eset ran and found no traces of SafeSearch. It did find 2 pieces of malware. The Bad News: the motherboard in my laptop died; no video. I guess we can close this issue since safesearch is nowhere to be found. I'll run eset again when I get my laptop back to get rid of the malware.

    Bad time of year for that to happen!

    I'll leave this topic open.

    Default Merry Christmas and thanks for leaving this open

    Juliet: Thanks for keeping this open. I will probably be 3-4 weeks before I get the computer back.

    I'm on vacation from 12/21 to 1/3/2016.

    I will get back in touch when I can.

    Have a Merry Christmas.

    I'll close this one since thats quite a while till you will get the computer back.

    Just open a new topic and we'll go from there.
