[QUOTE="plumpjack, post: 1682123, member: 298978"] Linc Davies on Apple is very knowledgeable. The post he's replying to has been posted elsewhere on the web. It's the only other one I've seen in relation to this nuisance and it comes on exactly the same date [more or less] I started having trouble. Unfortunately however he just repeats the PAC file warning instructions in disabling the proxy settings. I knew how to do that from what was in front of me. Oh and he's right - disabling proxy settings does indeed prevent web access. I had to put mine back. Your Google link is to my own post on another site [or a condensed version of it]. It certainly behaves oddly for malware. Perhaps the malware is itself infected :). Web access is restored if I leave Safari alone for a few hours. The problems I was having with Aviator also seem to have vanished, at least for now. The instability kicks in again with Safari if I restart he computer but it settles down once more after a while [Safari has been dropping webpages or randomly failing to open them on and off for a while now]. There seems no consistency. If it was intended to block access maliciously why let me into eBay or my local cricket club? UPDATE: Have tried the Linc Davies proxy advice a second time and it seems to have worked. It stopped web access again but unlike last time [I'm a bit thick you see] I restarted the browser, and this appears to have done the trick. For now...... :) Thanks pm-r and everyone. [/QUOTE]
