Hello peeps.
I joined the forum because I have something called "safetab.org" hijacking my browser tabs when I open a new tab (occasionally- not every time and not during every session) the browser search box appears to be in a northern european language - german maybe? I have not used the search box, visited the website and am not going to

I searched google for it and this came up ....... which suggests to me that it IS a suspicious malocious programme, I don't understand why google concludes that it isn't. perhaps it's about levels of irritation and amounts of complaints about it? anyway, I want it gone!

"Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for safetab.org
What is the current listing status for safetab.org?

Over the past 90 days, safetab.org did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.
