I'm runningYosemite and Safari 8.0.2. Recently additional webpages have been opening when I go to new site (especially Facebook, Apple, etc). I've installed McAfee Viral software and checked for all the other programs in the other discussion answers (none on my computer). I've cleaned out all histories, passwords, website data. Help

Mac OS X (10.7)
