Cannot remove malware: popups, downloads, advertising links .pkg

Hello world

I followed the instructions for the removal of malicious software on multiple threads here without success and then tried to use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac - which did not work.

A summary of the issues:

1. I get a new tab for Mac Advanced Cleaner opening-

the link is in the competence of parens:

(http://www.advancedmaccleaner.com/mr/4/?utm_source=mrtmacg&utm_campaign=mrtmacg& pxl = MRT253_MRT243_RUNT & utm_pubid = 831638 & x-context = for_9a25a440e496450ab1ff7d7b15 a 410, 29)

2 color links appear on all the sites I visit. Sometimes the links appear in capital letters, sometimes links have a small green arrow at the top right of the word.

Roll on the link brings up a message: continue continue > to advertise
And and sometimes a popup ad by "Ad Set."

The links go to a url that starts with: http://s.iktmmny.com/

You don't have to click on them - seems that simply reversal opens the window for Advanced Mac Cleaner.

3. without clicking on any one of these bad links - a .pkg guard automatically, download file

the file name is:

amc_rb_mrtmacg.pkg

I move the file to the Recycle Bin without opening and empty the trash secure.

4. exact same questions occurring on another Mac, Macbook Air Yosemite 10.10.4 running OSX.

My iphone / ipad are not affected.

Thanks for your help!

    It seems that it is possible that you have a virus. There are some that will hide your files/folders so that you don't normally see them.

    All of the pdf files I've downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared."  I can open and view them, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a message saying my trial has expired and he wants me to buy which I can't do because I don't have a serial number to put in.

    You (or someone) downloaded the free demo of Acrobat Pro, a little more than a month. If you use this software $20 / free months instead of drive for a month. If you don't want to buy it, now you must uninstall it and go back to the use of Acrobat Reader.

    Hello

    Its best to use several methods to ensure that all malicious software is detected and deleted.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Cannot remove a program

    My computer laptop girls running windows xp has a program called bitcomet.  She cannot remove it.  It is not listed in Add or remove programs box.  We can only find it in c:\programfiles\bitcomet.  When we try to delete this file, it stops the process and says access denied.  How to remove us from the computer?

    Go to Safe Mode and delete the files from there. Enter Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing F8 as the computer starts. That you will get the menu diagnosis where you will use your arrow keys to select Safe mode. After you remove files in Mode safe mode, restart the computer to return to normal Mode. Then since BitComet is an often used to download pirated music torrent client programs - a high risk computer activity - do a full scan for malware.

  • How to remove malware

    My son downloaded MSPaint, but it seems that the download has been infected by malware. Downloaded several programs that have not been approved including the plugin Bucksbee loyalty. I thought that when I took it, I would be able to use Google as my default search engine once more. But Bucksbee is somehow always the default. Google is also referred to as my default search engine in topic: config. SO somehow the malware turned this setting as well.

    When I search by clicking on the Google search results it takes me to sites like Match.com rather than on this site for example.

    I found the software MSPaint in my Windows/System 32 folder. When I try to delete it, I get an error saying that trusted installer does not.

    I ran my Spybot software hoping he could catch & remove the program. But it does not.

    Someone has an idea on how to neutralize and remove this nasty malware piece?

    I'm going back and post additional but above all info

    The resolution will break down in several stages and can require a need to obtain a notice of specialist malware sites/forums (I can make a suggested list of sites/tools)

    1. identify and quarantine or remove original malicious files
    2. change or reset the settings and the alterations caused by the malware
    3. This prevents from happening again
