Every time I start up safari then go to yahoo, I get some coupon drop down ad every time. Anyone know how I go about getting rid of this? Pretty sure it is some kind of virus or malware. Thanks

Worked. Still got some message that says it is there just the picture ads are blocked. Any idea's on how to remove this from my machine completely?

Nope, because I have no idea what it is. Take a screenshot of the window when it pops up; post it here!

CouponDropDown is not malware so most of the antivirus products including Norton will not detect or remove it. It is very aggressive adware however.
 
Finally somebody found it. I read about it here:

Yeah, great info on that site. Looks like its mostly, if not all, for PCs but I imagine the general info about the program is the same.
