I have Traffic Swarm as my homepage in Firefox on my Imac. After going through a couple of pages the words on the page change into gobbledy-gook with random letters and numbers like a foreign language I couldn't recognize. I went to my Yahoo mail and the same thing happened. All of the words were unrecognizable. I then rebooted my computer and everything went back to normal.
Later my wife mentioned that it did the same thing when she checked her email. Is there a new virus around that's hitting my Mac or is this a common occurrence that can be fixed with a tweak of some sort? I recently did the Mac update and don't believe this happened before I did this.
