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. :-P

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.

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

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)

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
