Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi everyone. Safaris locked up on me. A window has popped up saying, "http://www.404-errors.info Security Error." Underneath that it says, "Call helpline 1-877-899-1824." On searching for that # in Firefox I get very crazy locations, such as "All Services Electric, Cedar Lake..." Tried some of fixes that didn't work, including resetting the auto time. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
Force quit Safari and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

I called 1-877-899-1824 and the man would give me his name but wanted to charge me either $199 or $299 depending on which security option I wanted. Then he told me he was in "Wilmington Delaware Georgia" When I questioned him how he was in both the state Delaware and Georgia he said I didn't understand. Make no mistake I feel this is a SCAM!!!!
Thanks,
renaming Safari to Safari2 was the only thing that worked.
now I have got Safari and Safari2 folders in the library.
what should I do keep both?
and most important, what if I get another scam alert like this should I rename Safari2 to Safari3?
thanks
Locked Safari
