How do I get ride of Headline Alley? How did I get it on my Mac?
Not sure how Headline Alley downloaded onto my Mac? It has taken over my Firefox browser. I've searched on line, and it is referred to as Malware. Is it really? I don't what any of my information accessed. Please let me what I should do. Thank you

Hi !
Good for you to be on the alert ! Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions
And I see in your system details that the culprit installed itself there ! So, please remove it.
And to make sure that it didn't install any 'hidden' malware somewhere else on your system, let's run (some more) malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
