Goddammit, I got one of those stupid Google Redirect viruses again, this time in my Mac (though could be worse, the site I know I got it from -- a redirect from a useful-sounding website to some Russian page -- also attempted to install something further, but thanks to Mac computers requiring a password authorization before adding new software it was unable to proceed in that.) I may have to buy a new computer -- when this happened before on my PC it was never able to fully recover.
EDIT: hoping I don't jinx it by declaring, but I think I may have fixed it -- I had to reinstall Safari and luckily, one of the few boxes I brought up here from the storage shed was the one with all my mac software discs.
