My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep poping in and key pages for me appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page. Updated last Safari version and problem prevailed. Tried downloading Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks.

My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep popping up and key pages, for me, appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page.

I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.

I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.

Thanks for your help.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
