John, et al:
ONE more important thing:
It may our may not occur with others, but during the same link that took me to FN, I was interrupted by the occasional "Update your Flash Player" notice. It looked totally legit, so foolishly, I clicked on it. WRONG.
This opened the door to some piggybacked/diguised malware called "MacMechanic" that screwed with my iMac big time. Every start up included a screen for this monster. Even if I clicked "no thanks" it would NEVER go away. It was impossible to drag it to the trash.
I then called their 24 hr service number to get rid to it. It was some woman in Singapore. I know. I asked. She wanted remote access to my Mac to help. NOOOOO!
After wishing her an untimely death, I contacted the REAL people at Apple. 30 minutes later they helped me dump the malware and get my Mac back to the real world.
Moral of the story: DON'T click on any Google link for PGCA !!!
