Cannot remove adware

I tried to remove advertising stuff from my computer. I get a window that says only and administrator to authorize this change. I am the only user and administrator. What happened with other things in the past, but not often. I'm a total dunce thereon. I have the watchdog of the user, but don't make any difference. I'm a total loss.

I hope that for certain types of aid.

  • Cannot remove adware UniDeals

    a few days ago, so I started to notice that unideals adds that appear in chrome and firefox. I Googled, managed to turn it off to never reappear in firefox, but it persists in chrome. I already delete the unideals folder in the x 86 files. and the program is not listed in Add/Remove programs. Unfortunately, my computer has never done a restore point. (I've had it for 4 months and it has never created a restore point)? so I can't just restore my computer I would most certainly. How can I get rid of this piece of and get an adware antivirus? I did 2 full crawls of windows defender, but is not picking anything up.

    Hello:

    Full instructions rather with screenshots to manually remove the UniDeals from your system and your browser is found in this article from Feb, 2015:

    www.pcrisk.com/.../8664-ads-by-unideals

    This article also describes how you probably installed this pest (usually bundled with other freeware and is installed by default when you select 'Quick' or 'typical' installation option) and how to avoid this in the future.

    Another option that I personally use to remove the adware and can recommend, is the cleaner adware free AdwCleaner. Here are instructions on how to download and use this utility:
    www.bleepingcomputer.com/.../adwcleaner

    I don't think that a virus is sufficient to block the adware these days. I use the Adblock Plusfree browser extension, which is available for all major browsers, including Chrome and Firefox. You can get it here:

  • Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

    When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

    Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

    Thank you all for your comments and help.

  • Cannot remove the software malicious search.oliver.to

    My apologies if I submitted this question to the wrong category. I could not understand any other category appropriate to classify under.

    I have malware on my MacBookAir (which is running El Capitan).

    Whenever I open the Chrome, it goes to search.oliver.to as the default home page (see screenshot)

    Now, I have read other threads on the same exact topic and followed the instructions, but they did not work for me.

    In my preferences of Chrome, search.oliver.to is not set as the home page.

    In my library > folder Agents run, there are No files associated with search.oliver.to

    The only other suggestion I could find was to download Malwarebytes, but I hesitate to do that, because I have read conflicting advice, saying to avoid all the so-called anti-malware software.

    What can I do else here?

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    How to safely use MacUpdate to download malicious software free software:

    This site has both free and paid members accounts. If you don't have then some software will be distributed in a wrapper for an installation that includes adware/malware, you can not. Such a download may appear on your computer as follows: Firefox installer.dmg. Remove the download and return to the main site where you will find a direct link to the Web site. Use this link to download the software.

    To avoid these downloads to MU simply create a free membership account. Sign in to your account before using the site. You can avoid the wrappers of the installer and download of adware or malware. I continue to use their site without any problems.

    If you prefer not to create a membership account and note that on the download page under the price area will be the link to the developer site. Use this link and download the software directly from the developer work around the use of MU altogether.

    Contacting warnings from users of sone that notifies you that the site is "dangerous." This is an exaggeration. Know the facts. You simply use the site intelligently. Support the site, but do it wisely - establish a free subscription or paying to avoid problems with malware. Don't pay attention to other users who you warn away with hyperbole.

  • Cannot remove iCloud backup of my old iphone

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 6 s iPhone yesterday. Activation and downloading my settings and applications from the iCloud went perfectly. I am now trying to delete the backup of the iPhone 4 on the iCloud, so I can have enough space to save my iPhone 6 s. I get a message, "this backup cannot remove because it is in use". Any suggestions?

    Hi Poppabear5,

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you have a problem with deleting your iPhone upward iCloud. Let's see if we can understand what is happening.

    The type of message you see, looks like your iPhone 6s is not made backup upward. The best way to confirm this is to see if it is possible to make a backup with your iPhone 6s and see if Yes see a message in the sense of "this iPhone is currently being restored and will back up automatically when it's done.". If this is the case, then you want to wait for the restore before you delete the backup. Another thing to think about is if you still have your iPhone 4, make sure it is not turned on and backup. It would be considered in service as well.
