It is looking more and more like the issue is on the servers hosting ebay and the one web forum (Swifty's Garage) I regularly visit. To you and everyone else who has helped with this problem, thank you very much. Is it possible that even without 'taking the bait' on any of the adware hijacks, adware has still been installed on my box without my knowledge? Are you guys familiar with this '' issue? Is there a Mac-oriented cleaning solution for this? I deliberately avoid 'questionable' websites.most of my web browsing is to commercial sites in business for decades that I've been to many times with no issues. I haven't downloaded any applications or even any other downloads except photos from my phone, emailed to myself so I could get them on my computer without having to hook up the phone and then go through iPhoto to select the few pics I need out of hundreds on the phone. The malware information on the stags.bluekai adware indicate it is one of those hidden installers that comes with a downloaded application. I googled 'stags.blueakai' and found several windows-based procedures to find and eliminate the adware (a cursory search of my hard-drive yesterday before I ran into didn't find any evidence of that or any other known adware (I've had to do this before.and followed a procedure to eradicate MacKeeper earlier this year that was posted here. It's apparently a known adware issue called '' and Safari is catching it, but every time I navigate to another page (auction, search list, etc) I get the Safari warning that I have to 'cancel' or 'Continue' before I can do anything else, even if I move to a different tabbed site. But, today another problem has arisen and it's affecting my ebay account. I will try ScamZapper first, since I'm using Safari currently. I'm using Safari for the first time in two years because it has caused me headaches in past years.but Firefox and Chrome are unsuitable any more. I am removing Chrome from my computer because it has serious problems-'flash plug-in' crashes constantly-and is no longer supported for my OS (10.6.8). Is there any way to keep garbage on a web hosts' servers from hijacking your browser? (Short of outright quitting the forum that's affected and never visiting it again, that is?) I also followed the steps to check and clear any malware/adware that might have been surreptitiously installed on my computer in the background.and my computer is clear of junk. I don't have a 'user account' with Zetaboards so I can't even report it to them. The 'ransom' in this case appears to be downloading MacKeeper and having your search engines hijacked as well as whatever else evil that criminal organization intends for your computer.

It was like ransom-ware without a demand to call a phone number to 'fix' the problem, or to download the 'software fix' and pay hundreds of $$ for the privilege. But, not only did MacKeeper's page prevent me from navigating back to my previous page/forum or closing that window, it disabled Chrome so I ended up having to force-quit to escape.

I know all about MacKeeper and won't ever click any link to that malware distributor or basically any 'ad' that appears on any webpage I visit, or in my email, etc.

Today the ad that hijacked the page was for that darned MacKeeper, and as stated above, there was no choice but to download and install MacKeeper. At first I could close the page/window/tab-there was no navigating 'back' to the original page, but closing the page worked (meaning you had to reopen and log back into the forum in order to continue where you left off). I regularly peruse and participate in a web forum hosted by Zetaboards, and lately (past few days) the host redirects the active forum to ads that have only one active button-the 'download' or 'Install' button-with an inactive 'cancel' or 'later' button visible on screen.

'R-ad-somware' is my play-on-words for ransomware, due to recent events.
