Shut down Safari completely, not with the X, but use the QUIT option.

Then restart it - I seriously doubt Apple is wanting you to call.

Doubtful it is a virus, just a nasty web site probably.

It's not going to matter if you can't look up in the post.

You have what's known as the Primtwv.com pop-up ads/virus

See this link: http://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Primtwv.com

If you don't know how to read the links provided, it might be easier to take your Mac to an Apple Store. S-
