If you're really sure that link is safe, you can hold the mouse on the refresh icon in the address bar (the little round arrow) to reload without content blockers.

I don't know if it is safe.
When I click on certain 'normal' sites, I get diverted to this click serve, whoever they are.
I don't know who they are, and I wish I could get rid of them!!

Download and run something like MalwareBytes. It will scan for things like you have encounters and remove them. I use it occasionally. It is free and could help you.

I have Malwarebytes & Intego but they cannot find it!

It sounds like you either have a PUP (potentially unwanted program) installed somehow, or the website you’re using is inhe ting dodgy ad/tracking links.

That warning is probably either Malwarebytes or Intego blocking it for you (though don’t know why you have both).

As it’s being blocked it’s doing no harm, but will be really annoying. Does it happen on other browsers/websites, or only on safari and specific websites?

Just tried Intego temporarily but it could not find anything.
It only happens on Safari, on the sites that are blocked, so it must be a Safari thing!
On Google Chrome I have no problem with these sites.
The sites are sites I have used before and are big companies.
It happens, with these sites on my MacBook Pro & my iMac!
Oh, I also have Bitdefender!!:mad::rolleyes:?
