I searched (Google) for Egyptian hieroglyphics and the result included four "Images for hieroglyphics". When I clicked on one of the images I got a dialogue box that looked like a Safari dialogue, even including the Safari Compass. The dialogue had this address and text:

http://915.grandesaver24.com

AV8 has found suspicious activity on your pc and will perform some action on your pc


There was a small second box with a radio button to authorize the action.

The dialogue didn't sound like what I would expect from a ClamXav caution, and I thought it curious that a "Safari" dialogue box would refer to my machine as a "pc", so I simply closed Safari. I have not gone to the link.

When I reopened, the box did not re-appear. As a safety measure I did a ClamXav scan which didn't return anything of concern.

Anyone have any idea what this might have been?
