Not sure if this is in the right section but I've been getting the above warning whenever I use Safari 5.1 [I'm on 10.6.8]. For some reason I can access Google or perhaps Reddit but eBay, Amazon and almost every other page I get "ERROR: You're still using a legacy immunicity PAC file".

What does this mean and what do I do? It wants me to uncheck automatic proxy settings in Chrome and Firefox. I don't have Chrome though I do use Aviator. I also use Firefox. There is no mention of Safari, my preferred default, but the message here is for Macs generally. However since I browse the web unrestricted using either of the other two I'm reluctant to change anything. It's worked perfectly well to up to today and is clearly doing so still for the most part. It's just Safari.

I suspect browser instability more than anything. Safari has been failing to open pages. Indeed both the browser and the OS have been rather temperamental of late so it might be related to that. Problem is knowing what to do about it. Thanks for any advice.
