More stupid tricks from Apple, embedded crap in downloads
 
Had to download QuickTime to run some video....they imbed crap in the download and usually you can de select or remove later tool bars and search engines.....anyways, I have a change when I block a word or phrase and it send me to Ask.com

Can't find it in my control panel to delete.

Anyone know a work around or have this happen? :rolleyes:

Just noticed my speel check is dead too....

Its not from Apple. Somebody got ahold of your browser.

When did they start doing that ****?

They are turning into MSFT slowly but surely..

It showed up during a new Quicktime download. I was watching the download.....I uninstalled the update and the toolbar.

Crap, looks like I gonna have to go registry hunting.....

I've never had apple add in software unless I check the box.

Further if they are adding in software, there's almost no chance they are partnered with ask.com

Not Apple. Did you download Quickime from Apple.com or click a link?

Try malwarebytes?

Not apple - 3rd party software. Mind what you download these days and NEVER enable automatic downloads no matter what or who from...
