I don't know how, but one of my Safari tabs took over Safari. It popped up a 
dialog box with the text:

"http://1781.7.162.165
Caution! Your computer contains a variety of
suspicious programs. Your System requires immediate
checking! The system will perform a fast and free
check of your PC for malicious programs."

Then there is the OK button, begging to be clicked. 

I can't do anything with Safari because of the modal dialog box, it just beeps 
at me. Looks like I'll have to force-quit it. Shame that a single dialog box 
can take over a multithreaded, multiwindow, multitab application. It's quite an 
Achilles heal. I've got 11 windows up, each with about 15 tabs. 

Is there any way to analyze this thing before I force-quit?
