KB2 Here are a couple of pictures of virused leaves. You be the judge as far as yours are concerned.. as you know best what yours look like. Yours do appear to be more like spots than the actual moasic pattern, and it does appear that you do infact have mealy bugs,but never having had mealy bugs (so far) I'm not sure what their sucking would do to the leaves...I do wish you luck.. I will say that the Oskar in the first picture showed the moasic pattern right off the bat..most often the leaves come out clear and healthy looking and then when the weather gets hot or they are stressed for some other reason then the sympoms appear (at least for me, living in the cooler coastal northeast....

I use Firefox plus the NoScript addon. Honestly, NoScript can be kind of a pain because you have to manually allow websites to run scripts to get certain kinds of functionality. For example, I can read GardenWeb without allowing it, but it doesn't track which posts I've read, and it doesn't let me log in or post. Since GardenWeb itself seems safe, I have it allowed. (Obviously, since I am posting this!) But I don't allow the SEVEN other scripts that want to load when I am on GardenWeb. On lots of other sites, it's like this - you can usually see the main content without enabling anything. But if you want to post, comment, login, etc., you have to allow one or more scripts. The great thing is that NoScript but it blocks virtually all ads and pop-ups. (Ad companies hate NoScript!) Soo...I am not seeing these popups and ads everyone is talking about. I am not getting kicked off the forums, either. NoScript also blocks click-jacking attempts, mouseover malware, automatic redirection to other webpages, javascript-based malware, etc. You can customize it to allow as much functionality as you want for known safe sites. You can also temporarily allow a website that you're checking out, and it will take that site off the approved list as soon as you close Firefox. (Temporary approval is what I usually do - I only permanently approve sites I visit often.) Getting NoScript was a real education to see all of the spyware that even "reputable" sites employ to track your web browsing, searching, and shopping habits. And since you don't know what all of these scripts are, who owns them, and what data they're collecting, you really don't know whether they're tracking personally identifiable information (setting you up for identity theft). After seeing all of that, I won't run a web browser without a script blocker again! I also use Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free and isn't a system-hog like most AV programs. (I can't tolerate AV software that ties up a large amount of system resources.) I am not saying it's perfect protection, and NoScript takes some user intervention, so it's not "set it and forget it." But I like it and think it provides pretty good protection. It's like putting an alarm system on your car - a determined thief can still steal it. But generally thieves (and virus writers) can find plenty of easier targets.
