    Hello dominic23,

      I looked at this but was not sold on doing. I went on Apple support chat and got my problem resolved. They did a screen share and helped me get rid of some files and folders from my kids downloading games on my iMac. Was very easy to do and now my problem is done. It costed $19, as my warrenty had run out, but it was worth it.  This truly worked and it is so nice now going on Safari without those danged websites popping up. Thanks for you help and have a great weekend.

    Sincerely,

    Rick Kelsey

    Hello Rysz,

      I tried this, but I need the block pop-up windows off for some of my websites to work. I went on Apple support chat and got my problem resolved. They did a screen share and helped me get rid of some files and folders from my kids downloading games on my iMac. Was very easy to do and now my problem is done. It costed $19, as my warrenty had run out, but it was worth it.  This truly worked and it is so nice now going on Safari without those danged websites popping up. Thanks for you help and have a great weekend.
