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)

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By saevel25 ·

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.

      Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

      By Gregsfolly ·

      I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
