Cannot get rid of the Mac Cleaner program

Hello

I installed mac cleaner just now. I deleted all the files and uninstalled the program a few weeks ago, but somehow every now and then I get a pop up in my upper right corner telling me it's time to clean? I looked through almost all the folders but I can not find all files named cleaner mac or related to that program, how is it possible that he is still running somewhere and send me messages?

Kind regards

Jeffrey

May have installed a fake 'utility' called 'Mac advanced cleaner.' Like any software that aims to 'clean up' or to 'speed up' a Mac automatically, it's a scam, and some or all of the variants of it are ad-injecting malware.

To remove it, please take the following steps. Some of the files listed may be absent in your case. Back up all data before proceeding.

Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

If you paid for the software with a credit card, consider the load statement to the Bank as fraudulent.

Step 1

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

~/Library/LaunchAgents

Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Open

the contextual menu.* can open a folder that is named "LaunchAgents. If so, look inside the files whose name starts like this:

com PCV.

Place such a file in the Recycle Bin.

Log off or restart the computer, and empty the trash.

* If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

Go ▹ go to the folder...

from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

Step 2

The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you don't reinstall it. This step is optional.

Remove the following, if they exist, as in step 1:

/Library/Application Support/amc
~/Library/AdvancedMacCleaner

There is no need to log out or restart after this step.

The problem may have started when you have something, like the application "FileZilla", downloaded from the 'Sourceforge' site or some other Internet cesspit. Never to visit this site again. All legitimate software must be downloaded directly from the website or from the Mac App Store, as appropriate.

'Advanced Mac cleaner' may have been bundled with other malware that was installed at the same time. If you still have problems with web browsers after his withdrawal, ask for instructions.

    Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I cannot get rid of the error message

    I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from the site Web of Blackberry. When I run the Desktop Manager I get this message: "Before you start, check that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." Troubleshooting functions I've seen on this forum: many tips (ones I've tried is below). One in particular, that I can't do is "Office Manager shows"off". ".
    -Make sure that the user has entered in the Desktop Manager and select options > connection settings > detect. »

    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the menu options in the BB Desktop Manager.

    I tried the following:

    • uninstalled and reinstalled twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    • installs the cable to the USB port at the back (after having tried both ports at the front) of the computer
    • rebooted the computer several times
    • hard starts the phone by removing the battery
    • plugged in, removed and replugged in the phone.

    Also:

    • The phone is properly install when I plug it in, but the software still does not seem to see it.
    • In Device Manager, the BlackBerry appears under portable devices. Double clicking on it gives me the message "this device is working properly." of reassurring.
    • The Com1 port is working properly, according to Device Manager.
    • A double-click on the icon of the Device Manager to get the properties indicates that the Com1 port is "disconnected" - when I try to set it up, it appears just back to the disconnected state.

    If someone has an idea or something that I have not tried, I'd be happy of course!

    Thank you!

    Good, people, after a phone call from 3 1/2 hour with a (very patient) phone support person to Blackberry, here's what I learned.

    You can check your drivers USB in this way:

    1. Plug your phone into your USB key. Assuming that your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    2. Go into the Device Manager on your computer (Panel)
    3. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers at the bottom of the list item
    4. Right-click on the BlackBerry smartphone, and then select Properties
    5. Click on the driver tab
    6. Click the driver Details button
    7. You should see a driver. I saw two. The one like the BlackBerry is the RimUsb one.

    So here's what NOT to do: we threw any driver who has been the "extra". This actually made using my mouse and keyboard cannot, because they are USB and my poor husband has sent in the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and mouse) with the old fashioned type of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't, don't.

    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you - it changes the registry to a backup system with this backup and restore if you are nervous about this kind of thing):

    1. On the start menu, choose run and type regedit into the registry editor.
    2. Follow this path to the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, computer, class
    3. Click: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    4. If there is an article called law "UpperFilters", delete it. (See photos)

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Classroom in a book - CS4 - Lesson 6 - cannot get rid of the noise

    I'm on Lesson 6 version CS4 classroom in a book. I worked on the image with the mother and child, but I can't seem to get rid of the noise in the mountains and the sky. They look very grainy. I've followed all the steps exactly and even went through screen shots to see if any setting have been changed which may not have been mentioned. I compared my version to the version 'End' and they seem very different. The mountains and the look of the sky much better in the "End" version, although the mother and child look more exposed. On mine, the people look much more sharp, but the noise in the mountains is terrible and the sky is also quite grainy.  I redid this part of the lesson about 6 times, four times on my PC and twice on a MAC, but the results are always the same.  The sharpness which lesson you do at the end, while improving certain parts, the granulation in the worst of the sky and the mountains.

    This has been very frustrating.  Clearly something more was done with the image of 'End', which was not in the lesson.  Even if people, in my opinion, look better in my finished version, the mountains and the sky look terrible, and the background was the entire point of the lesson. Does anyone have ideas, what has been done to make the smooth background to the image of 'end '?

    I dug my copy of PS CS4 classroom in a book and went through the same lesson to see what results I got.  I can confirm that the noise reduction is not optimal.  See the example in the picture 'after ':

    Compare with the results of a 3rd party plugin noise reduction (in this case Topaz Denoise) using a standard preset:

    This version needs a bit of sharpening is to the people.

    In doing this exercise that I was reminded why I dislike the Classroom in a Book series.  It makes you go through the steps like a zombie, tell you what value to enter in each field, but it does not often do the fields. Certainly, as a reader, you are free to experiment, but which do not encourage lessons. And the fact that the results do not always match the book and readers are disappointed when the results do not confirm my opinion that the book is not encourage experimentation.  Perhaps a further reduction of noise was made for each channel in the Advanced setting of section.as described in the box of Lesson 6.

    OK, two steps back. I use mx 2004 on windows to create a projector full screen for Mac. In windows, the window controls go away and the app looks like an application full screen. However, the Mac projector shows windows controls high on my 640 x 480 video - IE red, orange and green buttons at the top left.  I looked through all the parameters of publication, and I don't see anything that could be the cause.  Can someone tell me please how to get rid of these controls windows in Mac version, so I can have a clean fullscreen application to watch without control of windows?  I would be very grateful thank you!

    Do that there's no sprites on the selected scene, and then in the property inspector, and you should see a tab labeled, "View model". Click this tab and there uncheck the 'Visible' in the title bar of paragraph Options.

    I do not work on a mac, so I can't confirm that this works for mac, but if you haven't tried yet so maybe that will do the trick.
