safari pop up malware

[boogielicious]

I've got a malware pop up that won't let me open safari.  Anyone know how to remove it?  I have the new Yosemite OS.

I was able to get rid of it by shutting down and restarting Safari.  Then I deleted all history.

I got aggressive popups from dodgy streaming sites. Be careful with those. I was just trying them out, really.

Yah, I've gotten a few of these recently, where you don't wanna close the prompt because you don't know what they've plugged into it. I use the Activity Monitor to kill the app instead. But then Safari can open up again to the same site, so you've gotta kill that tab quick.

I went ahead and set Safari to open a new window each time, but if I didn't, I have since read that you can hold the Shift key down when launching Safari, and it will not open the previous windows on Shutdown.

In my investigation, I didn't find any malware on my Mac, and I think it may have been a dodgy router that was randomly redirecting me.  I've not seen malware yet on my Mac. Cross fingers.

I have issues with Safari on my IPhone actually. I can't remain logged in and I can't write anything after an @mention either.

For the record, I haven't visited any of those site on my iMac.

Wait, by dodgy - I meant like your FirstRowSports type of sites, that sort of thing.

OT, but since you're all Mac users:

I'll shamelessly plug that I'm looking for feedback with a Mac spreadsheet for strokes gained putting-->   http://thesandtrap.com/t/56566/strokes-gained-putting#post_1102208  (no malware in the spreadsheet, I swear! As far as I know anyway)
