**Mac help needed urgently!**

Help!

I logged onto my Mac yesterday and all of my usual web/email font (Arial) has been replaced by some dodgy cartoon style font...almost as though it's got a virus? I can't read it at all!

I really need help on sorting this out as I work for myself so my computer is my livelihood, eek!!! I've tried clearing the font cache but to no avail.

Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a virus do you think?

Thanks,

Jo

Don't you have virus software on there?

If not do an online scan here:
Trend Micro HouseCall - Free Online Virus and Spyware Scan - Trend Micro UK

Alternatively, you need to buy some virus software to double check.

Hmm no, i don't have any Damon. Will try that link out (it's scanning as i speak) and also invest in some for my Mac. What's the best to get for Mac? Norton Anti-Virus??

Thanks for your help, appreciated!!!

But Macs don't get viruses, right?...

Hey Jo

Did you get it sorted? Was it a virus??

Quick way to sort it, find the nearest green bin and bin it ;) it's called the iBin ;)
Facepalm, if I had a penny for the times I've done that I'd be a rich man roflmao ;)
