So, if you use Safari and see things happening in it that you didn’t ask for, you might have a so-called “Safari redirect virus.” Follow these steps to stop Safari from sending you to other sites and turn off pop-ups:

1. Run Safari;
2. Click “Safari” on the tab bar (between “Apple” logo and “File” tab);
3. Click “Preferences”;
4. Proceed to the “Security” tab;
5. Check the “Warn when visiting a fraudulent website” box;
6. Check the “Block pop-up windows” box.

Okay, now Safari is blocking pop-ups and stopping redirects. But it’s not that simple. Unsafe extensions could have been added to your computer by malware. You can get rid of them by:

1. Run Safari;
2. Click “Safari” on the tab bar (between “Apple” logo and “File” tab);
3. Click “Preferences”;
4. Proceed to the “Extensions” tab;
5. Look for recently installed extensions if any;
