Malicious Adward attack

Just updated OS X to 10.10.5 and Safari won't open says it has a malicious adward attack. Gives a phone number to fix but sounds like some back room operation. Any ideas?

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If the message reappears, disconnect the computer from the Internet for long enough to erase that site from the browser history.
