BSOD:Error 333 Registry failure of operating system-host: BLUESCREEN ERROR 0x=====CE

Opening my I mac this morning I had this mail from automatic draw no 13458 telling me I had won 10 mill NOK. I was of course not interested av clicked the unsuubscribe button on the page. I was then sent to a page named www.bluescreenalert.net telling me "there is a .net frame work file missing due to some harmfull virus. Debug malware error 895-system 32.exe failure.

I was told to contact microsoft tecnicians at Tollfreer Helpline at 1-866-233-2547.

Then a treat of complete data loss.


After that Safari is blocked, this message keeps coming when I try.

Other programs included mail seems o work OK


I suspect this is som malware/virus but I do not think it is smart to call this number.

Does anyone have advice of what to do to solve this problem?


Best regards Runeho

Force Quit Safar. Hold down the SHIFT key and restart Safari. You should now be able to escape the dialog blocking it.

If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and MalwareBytes for Mac. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.


Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.


Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.


Quit Safari


Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.


Relaunch Safari


If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.


This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
