We are receiving an error message to contact OS_ERROR.COM to fix a virus intrusion. The system also won't log into Safari. Is this a scam??

If that does not work, see A Browser Pop-up has Taken Over Safari for additional options.
You may also want to install ScamZapper, a Safari extension that prevents scam pop-ups like that from loading.
(Note that I am affiliated with that site, and some pages contain ads).
Pete,
Could you be more specific. I still can't get on Safari.
Thanks
Have you restarted your Mac?
Pete
Your fix worked. However, I have not been able to download scamzapper. I'm too dumb to figure out exactly how to do it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

On the page I linked, there are two download buttons. Click on the one on the left. I've heard some people say that the download does not start automatically, even though it should. If it doesn't, you'll find a link that says "click here if the download does not start." You will find additional instructions on the download page for what to do after it downloads.
