Hello everyone,
I always visit these forums for help with anything related to mac, but i recently ran into a problem and i haven't found any answers yet.
I was writing a website name into the address bar and i accidentally misspelled it. Once i pressed enter, it quickly redirected me to a website called "surveytakeonline.com."
When on the site, i couldn't press the back button on my browser and it forced me to click "Ok" to enter the site. It then prompted me again to see if i wanted to stay on the site, and later asked "Are you sure you want to leave?" When i finally pressed yes, it allowed me to get off the site.
I have never had this happen to me because i am always careful when browsing, but i just found it a bit weird that Safari didn't warn me.
I haven't encountered any problems and everything is running well. I haven't noticed any changes. Should i be worried? Can these kinds of websites place any kind of cookies on my computer that could steal my information?
I am currently running Mac OSX Lion v.10.7.1.
Thanks in advance.
