I have used a Safari ever since I got a computer and about four days ago it started spazzing out and stuff. I ignored it for a while, and then decided to change to firefox. With firefox, I would randomly get this screen of black, but only the firefox bit, not Finder and stuff. So today I switched to Google Chrome. It's also spazzing out a bit, especially on youtube. What should I do?

What exactly did it do? Details. I know Firefox went black, but did the others do that as well?

Just to be safe, run your antivirus, and download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and run that as well. Full scans of your computer, not the part/quick ones.

Another thing is you could have outdated versions of those browsers or you downloaded them from unsafe sites.

Well, just a bit ago, on chrome which I'm currently using, it kinda got pixel like and if I drag the thing up and down it gets repeated in the background.

I use safari for my mac book and it crashes ALL THE TIME, so I switched. Firefox works great for me.

No problem. Something similar happened to me about a year ago, but none of my programs were usable and I had to restart my computer to factory defaults, just gotta be careful on what you click and download.
