I went and read the articles ... In the one article it noted that Google Chrome downloaded it automatically where fire fox asked if you wanted to down load.. I have been using chrome ..even as I type.. I am thinking I need to go back to Safari

A while back, I got Sophos for my iMac. Sophos is the company that provides anti-virus protection for Mac servers and businesses. They offered a free program that would protect regular Macs. For browser, I use Safari and Firefox, and Chrome on occasion. I haven’t had any problems at all since I’ve installed it.

I saw the Mac Defender pop up once, but since I’m already protected, I just deleted it.

Here are two articles, one from CNET and one from Cult of Mac. They can give you more information about it.

I believe all browsers give you the option of whether or not to automatically open downloaded files....simply choose to not automatically open them. However, I believe most browsers set the default to automatically open the files, so you need to check your “Options” and verify.
