Hey guys,
I just had a real bad encounter and dont know if my computer (Mac Mini) is in trouble....
I was on safari, on several pages; facebook, Etrade, MSNBC, and a lyric page for this song I was listening to on itunes.
My safari window is setup to take only the center portion of the screen. I have about an inch on top,bottom, and sides.
All of a sudden a new Safari page opened by itself to my home screen (google.com) and this new Safari window took up the whole screen! When I clicked the red dot to close the page, it popped up with something that said:
What is this?? I didn't click OK to continue, even though I couldn't close the application.. I ended up going to the "Force Quit" and forcing it to quit.
I dont want it to do greater damage, so I am on my MPB for the time being...
Is this a virus?? I have 7 other Mac computers in my house/network should I be worried? How do I eliminate this virus?
MAC MINI specs:
OSX 10.6.5
Safari 5.0.3
2009 model, pre redesign.
Thanks,
James
