So I quit it again and Googled the telephone number using Firefox, where I was able to see with some relief, that it was a scam activated by the web page I was on, and gave the advice to restart Safari with the Shift key pressed down so that it opens with none of the previous tabs open. I did, and all was well again. 2015-10-23T18:44:34+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1249#5683 Douglas Cheney info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I have had this happen to me a few times but found out that a program called ScamZapper which can be downloaded from MacUpdate stops this loading. Since then I have had no problems 2015-10-24T15:24:36+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1249#5687 John Surtees info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Doug. Good tip. I now have it installed.
