Q: Safari in Lion hijacked by malware

I have started a new thread March 2012 with a similar issue trying to summarize all that is in here, as your solution of just hitting the shift key with the Safari button may have some other hidden issues not addressed.  Someone reading this might just read the solution and not realize a Trojan is still sitting there on their Mac (as is discussed in the plethora of information throughout this thread).

   Be aware that I summarized the info that is sitting here, but am looking for direction on the order in which to go, and to verify my understanding of the vast amount of knowledge provided here.  So, if you are one that has posted on here, please view my posting and make sure I interpretted the info correctly and provide direction on what to do the second my latop powers up.  At the end of my posting, I was wondering if there is a Time Capsule option here that could drop out some of the steps listed?  Would it be a better option or a decent option that isn't thorough?

The issue is a simple one and there is no trojan involved here.  If you close Safari when it has active windows open, when you restart Safari it reloads those same pages.  Holding Shift keeps it from doing that. 

There were some posts in this thread about stuff "still alive" but it isn't "still alive".  Safari opened a web page, the URL is in the history. As such, it can be found with Spotlight. Clear the Safari history and it will no longer show up in Spotlight.  Some of the posts in this thread are jabber; I can't tell what they were doing, what they did, or what they were even talking about.

Badunit   jvonrock here, sorry for the jabber, it seems that some of the scariest problems are only a click away'

I've only had a computer for about 6yrs. and how lucky my first experience was on a Apple MacBookPro. an now with ipods,ipad, macmini blah blah. the point is I'm not alone. people all over with apple stuff are in awe and fear, dazzled an dumbed. WERE NOT ALL SAVVY. our lack of means we're probably just trying to say what we mean..we see what happens we don't know why or where ? do you remember being there ?  but hey. I said 'alive' cause when I click something and it doesn't do anything it's dead , when I click an it does something it's alive.

                   Problem at hand 'I've had no trouble since the shift-safari deleation, no figers crossed.

                    glad for todays software update regardless.

• Badunit  you explained it perfectly , even in your 2nd paragraph of confusion / chastisement something was learned 'the world begs for simple solutions if you got em flaunt em'
