For peace of mind, you can download MacScan 2.6 from Apple.com (official site) and follow instructions for security check. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/macscan.html The software will find a lot of cookies for sure. But it should also alert you and help you quarantine anything more harmful.

I couldn't get Safari to quit after that, until I clicked "OK" to get out of it. I couldn't restart my computer or anything without finally clicking "OK" once I tried to get rid of it the other way. Ugh. So what do I do? What can happen? But what if you clicked on the red circle (mac) to get rid of it and activated it?
