[QUOTE="cap, post: 1674924, member: 110696"] Thank you, harryb2448!!! I had already quit Safari and rebooted the computer, to no avail (not sure what effect disconnecting the router might have had, but didn't try it. I had an installation file named "macosxcleaner" in the downloads folder, but trashed it and emptied the trash. No "CMM" or "Mackeeper". I installed and ran Malwarebytes, but it did not find anything. However, "Scam Zapper" seems to have fixed the problem as soon as it was installed. Very nice - thank you! :) [/QUOTE]
