Hello all! So yesterday I opened Safari and the first thing I saw was a medium-sized popup window from MacKeeper saying, "Before you continue, you should check this out" (or clean your Mac, or something along those lines). Quit Safari and re-opened to see the same message again. This window opened alone, not on top of a Safari window--no Safari window opened while this was there. I feel silly for what I'm about to say, but now I can't remember how I bypassed it and got to my Top Sites Screen (the one I have set to be default upon opening Safari). Anyway, so when I did get Safari open, the browser window was re-sized from the normal large size I always have to a medium-sized one, so I maximized it back to normal. That was odd, but then also all of the Top Sites preview icons looked weird too, like when you change the screen resolution and all the icons on the desktop look too big and blurry. Also, some of them would not take me to the site when I clicked on them. It stayed on the Top Sites screen and the address bar had the https: secure site prefix and then just my nickname for that site instead of an actual web address. The ones that did actually take me to the site opened the site in a very strange way, like only part of the image was there and then it was like stretched and blurred from the top down like a barcode or something, then after a few seconds the site would re-focus properly. Needless to say I was very concerned, so the first thing I did was update ClamXav and scan the system. One strange thing here was when it began to scan I got a message that said there was an issue with the quarantine folder and I had to change something in settings or something. I stopped the scan and re-started it and got no message this time. Scan results came up clean. Not quite satisfied, I updated BitDefender and scanned again, and came up clean again. After a while, and after clicking on my Top Sites one by one, the icons went back to normal and finally started taking me to the proper site. It's all very weird and I'm still kind of concerned. Has anyone ever seen something like this?
