Today, I was on the web and all of a sudden, Safari started to act up. It kept trying to open a new window behind the one I was in. And in the window I was in, it wouldn't let me type in the address box (it would turn the same color as the brushed metal). It also was completely hiding the safari window on its own.

I logged out and so far, it seems to be working. Don't know if this is malware but it seemed as if I was working with IE in an infected windows machine. Maybe its our time...

no.. thats most likely a bug in safari, or the window manager.

I hope your right. So far, after I logged out and back it, and its been fine (but I haven't visited the same sites. The sites I went to were the drudgereport where I clicked on about 5 news stories and ocregister.com).

Since no malware exists to do this as far as anyone knows, it's very unlikely to be malware.
