Q: Pop up Virus Alert won't go away in Safari
I keep getting these pop-up windows (I have pop-ups disabled) for some sort of virus removal scam. I've run Cocktail and Permissions Repair and deleted all History ... nothing helps. Not only are these windows disrupting my usage of Safari, they have also changed my default browser from Google to Yahoo even though the box is checked for Google. 
I am totally lost on this one ... anybody else dealing with this?

Please disable all Safari extensions and test. If the problem is resolved, re-enable the extensions one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
