Jan 13, 2015 2:09 AM in response to K-Woodz84by dominic23,This can happen if adware is installed without your knowledge. Removing it will help,
1. Download and use free AdwareMedic to remove the adware
http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button to remove adware.
Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
or
Remove the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.

Jan 17, 2015 2:37 AM in response to K-Woodz84by Gary Llewellyn,HI, I am having the same problem today.
I downloaded a program called Disk Drill but since then my Safari is crashing. I have uninstalled Disk Drill and any add ons but it is still crashing. I cannot download any programs as Safari won't open at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
