This is a Safari virus?

[jimtkm]

Every now and then Safari title bar start showing "**** th3 w0rld!"
Any ideas if this a virus? Or maybe how can I fix this?

Here are some info:
Mac OS X 10.5.5
Safari 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)

It's not a virus. If it's anything, it's a custom script designed to put that there. Use AppDelete or something similar to get rid of all of your preferences and settings and then delete and reinstall Safari.

Or just reset Safari and see if that works.

no one can tell if its a virus except a genius. bring it down to a apple store and they'll help you.

Will try reinstalling Safari and wipe out Safari preferences. Thanks anyway

Websites that display "**** th3 w0rld!" just got pwned due to a vulnerability in how their "title" element is handled on their web page. Your copy of Safari is probably fine.

Can't believe it took so many replies to get the right one out.

I doubt its a vulnerability in the Apple site, or it would be happening to everyones computer, wouldnt it?

Just reset Safari, should be fine.
