Need info about these viruses..

You mean Hapili? They are viruses that hijack your browser. They modify your default settings, so you aren't able to turn back to your default search engine and redirect you to their domain, either hapili or asktofriends.

Get malwarebytes, install it and make sure it updates. Reboot your machine to safe mode and run a full scan. Remove all infections and reboot into normal mode. Any problems solved. Message me if you need any help T_O

If Malware Bytes didn't take care of it...you may need to attack it from a few different angles.

Try also Dr. Web Cure It, Spybot, Super Anti Spyware and HijackThis (which is mainly for internet browser infections).

and of course update your antivirus software (I recommend Avast Free if you don't have one already).

AND...stay off the porn sites ;)

This is absolutely the best way possible to ensure that you will eventually compromise your system. Apple just keeps their security updates as secret as possible so they don't have to admit vulnerabilities.

Instead of drinking the kool-aid a much smarter option is to educate yourself on smart browsing etiquette.

This!

Also, I think it is a good policy to run potentially shady websites, files, or programs in a sandbox first, isolating it from the rest of your system.

Use this, guys.
