[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1841136, member: 190607"] That sounds typical for a domain name server problem. Try this: First I'd look for a DNS Changer Trojan. They are very rare, but not yet extinct. Download and run: DetectX Swift (free/shareware) [url=https://sqwarq.com/detectx/]DetectX – sqwarq | security for your mac[/url] Let it fix anything it finds. Even if DetectX Swift finds and eliminates something, or if it find nothing at all, you aren't done. Do this next: In Safari, Safari menu --> Preferences --> Advanced tab --> check Show Develop Menu In Menubar In Safari, Safari menu --> Preferences --> Extensions tab --> delete all extensions you haven't put there yourself intentionally (if none, delete all and leave blank) In Safari, Develop Menu --> Empty Caches Quit Safari. Now you need to fix up your domain name server... Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Network --> Advanced --> DNS tab Remove all DNS servers (on the left) that your ISP didn't tell you to put there, leaving only those your ISP recommended. If your ISP didn't give you guidance on this, or if you want to try something other than what your ISP suggested (maybe better than what your ISP offers) remove all of the DNS servers there and use only OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Relaunch Safari, and see if things are better. I hope this helps. Please let us know how things go. [/QUOTE]
