[P1] Safari and spyware?

[Scott Warren]

Go to your home folder and in the library are safari settings. Get out 
a hex editor and where you see a4312cb and fb8c4a with in 19 characters 
of it, replace the 2 strings with c412ab and bf8c4a.  Once you get 
those done, reboot into single user mode and run fsck.  After that 
completes running, go to your 
usr/temp/files/<username>/safari/settings/config/temp folder and delete 
the files with even numbers in the extension.  Reboot into OS X and log 
in.  Now start up Safari and click on the no popup option.
