I went onto a site, and was told that there was a virus on my mac, I contacted apple and removed on computer, apple said I should contact you to detect changes
apparently when you are hacked your search engine configurations can be changed in Safari or Firefox, any help about how to check?I think I don't need a flash drive, apparently they are more easily hacked???? thank you, Novice.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
