Q: getsofteer.com blocks safari and all other browsers
Was reading the news and suddenly Safari is pointing to getsofteer.com and a message pops up that I should update flashplayer. Only choice to to select OK. Everything else is greyed out in Safari history, bookmarks one can not switch to another webpage. All other browsers are also inactivated. One can force quit Safari and than other browsers work. but i you start safari again it is still pointing to getsofteer.com. Serious maleware. How do I get this out of Safari?
