[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1939704, member: 83420"] Hi Pete Basics first: Open Finder > Applications and scroll through your apps and if any "suspicious" apps or apps you think you didn't download, consider uninstalling/binning them. In Safari, Click on Command plus comma which is the keyboard way of opening Safari's Settings (or you could click on the Safari Icon in the top menu bar and choose "Settings"). With Safari's Settings now open, Click on Extensions. This may show Extensions or Ad blockers. There is a Tick box adjacent to any such things. You could Uncheck any or all to see if that helps. In addition, here are a couple of Links that discuss aspects of Ad blockers and similar apps - there uses and the means of uninstalling them if needed.
