Recently, I get a pop up dialogue box when in Yahoo mail
that just says: "www.tumri.net" 'here!' and an 'OK' button...
I use an iMac G4.... w/ OSX 10.5

I assume it's some kind of phishing/scam site - I haven't gone there.
How can I stop this dialogue box from popping up?
(I do have the Block Pop-Up windows checked in Safari)...

Thanks!

OK, when I googled it I got this:

---> I did look in my cookies, and removed it... I hope that fixes it! Geesh!

Download and use SafariBlock. It could be an errant ad server loading something that triggers the pop-up.
