There were some nasty advertising sites out there at one point that almost
looked like malware. Overtime you close a window a new add pops up.
Try disconnecting your computer from all networks and then close every Safari
window. If that works then reboot your computer and turn the network back on
and see if you are still getting odd Safari behavior.
Note, most malware of any real concern on the Macintosh is not widely out there
enough for virus protection software to find and yet not for the Apple software
to block automatically.
Best wishes,
