It has happened in Safari but not on every launch. (See my Mac Malware Guide for more information.)
As long as you keep your browser, and any internet plug-ins (like Flash), up-to-date, and keep Java disabled, you have nothing to fear from malware sites. K9 would seem to be not functioning properly. That also explains the text you posted above, found in the URL field in your browser, and the fact that all these tabs are opening blank. I suspected you may have something like that installed. I do have K9 by Blue Coar Systems installed which blocks sites that have spyware/malware, **** etc. click the Extensions link in the left-hand column in Chrome's preferences, and if you see a similar SearchMe item, remove it from there as well. Did this show up right after you installed the app you downloaded from CNET? If so, what app was it that you downloaded? They may be up to their old tricks again.ĭelete the SearchMe extension in Safari's Extensions preferences. That is an adware program that probably rode in on some other app's installer. There is a thing called "Search me" along with an Amazon and Ebay ext.
