[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1617111"] You should have a recovery partition from which you can boot and reinstall. Apple started that when they went away from install disks. To boot from it hold down CMD and R while booting. So make the backup of your files, then reboot CMD-R and reinstall the OS. That will reinstall Safari without any add ons or extensions, which should be clean. Then you can restore your files and be off an running. One note, if you do this an run and Microsoft products (Office, etc) you should deactivate and uninstall that before you reinstall the OS because of the way MS registers products. Ditto for Photoshop and other Adobe products. [/QUOTE]
