Hi all,

My Safari seems to have adware that, on its own, forces Safari to load a website with no content other than a " -1 " . The website always starts with the fqtag(dot com). i sometimes also get stray ad audio, even though the browser is not active!

There seems to be no pattern of when this happens: sometimes I'm in Mail, another time in a widget, often while I'm in Safari.

Rather than go though Apple's tedious process to remove adware (How to install adware), I'd like a recomndation on an efficient adware removal software.

Thanks,

Frank
