Was Safari hacked today 8/20/13? Every time I try to open it (4times now) I get a pop-up saying Congratulations! You are the winner for August 20, Select a prize, enter email yadda yadda. I have force quit and cleared history and temp internet files 3 times and acreen captured the link. What can I do to get rid of this? I had to send this from my iPad because I cannot open Apple support on my mac.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Not that I know of. Maybe you have a bug on your iMac.

Or a virus.
Have you tried a complete reset of Safari (File menu -> Reset)? You may have a cookie or other stored file directing your browser to that site. Or your router may have been compromised - what's called "DNS poisoning" - and needs to be reset.
Hope this helps.
Hold the shift key when opening Safari - that should prevent it reopening the previous pages.
This response helped me ALOT, but don't know if it "solved my question" as I had already done much of the reset. Would like to give you points for the assistance, but only have the one option. Any suggestions on how I can score this as "this helped me"?

You can only give two "helpful" stars, but speaking for myself, don't worry about it. I only care that my suggestion helped.
Regards.
