I keep getting signed out of DU
Any brilliant suggestions? I'll go onto DU, scroll around a little and I've been signed out. It happens multiple times until I finally give up and move on. Do I have some kind of virus? (I'm using an Apple laptop). Frustrating!

1. I couldn't get into DU from my menu bar yesterday
I had to go through Google. Ten minutes later it was back to normal.

4. Same here....
...everytime I go after the Adware, etc., and clean out the computer, I have to sign back in.

6. that's because the adware action dumps your DU sign in cookie
Anytime you dump your cookies entirely, you'll have to sign back in at DU.

3. Start with the simple stuff.
Try clearing your cookies - occasionally, you might end up with a corrupt cookie in your browser's files, and that might confuse DU and cause you to be logged out.

Other than that, if you think your system has a virus or malware on it, I'd suggest AVG or Avast, and MalwareBytes.

5. You are probably deleting cookies when you close your browser
You probably need to change settings.
