Default launch Safari, wolfnknite

An application named Wolfnknite appeared and looks like malicious software.

I removed the app, but at the launch of Safari, the screen is suspect. For example, hovering over 'A way' shown 'open www.wolfnknite.com in a new tab '.

Help!

Hello Mr. Quorange,

There may be other parts of the application, that you still need to delete. I recently added this brand of adware to EtreCheck. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.

The EtreCheck report should have listed adware. You can then removed to the EtreCheck. You may still need to reset your home page in Safari.

WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • Return to default Launcher

    I don't think that this should be rocket science, but for the life of me I can't understand how to return to the default Home screen without uninstalling the other launcher (s).

    Hello

    ----------------------------------------

    BTW, I don't really recommend autopilot set on day of utilities they will all eventually
    fail and translated generally with spectacular (BAD). Better to update the drivers manually direct
    the machine system, motherboard manufacturer and the sites of the other OEM manufacturers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • How can I open links on a page loaded with Firefox in my default browser (Safari Mac) instead of Firefox?

    I won't be my Firefox default browser, but I don't want to use it for certain things. When I use it, if there is a link on a web page, it does not respect my choice of default browser which is Safari (Mac). It always opens the link in Firefox. Makes me not want to use it at all. Can I fix?

    Small screenshot here so you guys see this with me better:

    I accidentally deleted the "Bing" favorite coming in safari by default. I would like to know if resetting default Safari would bring him back and if so, please tell me how to do this.

    Thanks a lot to the guys in the forum who help others, it means a lot and I really thank you for that. I'll look at the post for the next 20 minutes so as soon as I get a response I'll mark it as resolved fairly quickly.

    Thanks again!

    You can just add it yourself back. Visit Bing: https://www.bing.comand then click on the share (square with the arrow coming out of it) icon. Choose the option to add a bookmark, and choose Add to Favorites. -AJ

  • Font size by default in Safari

    Is there a way to define the font size so that when you open a new page, the default value is no huge guy who suggests that you go blind? I'm kind of having to 'Order' - at the level of the type to a readable size, everytime I open a new page. Thank you

    No, there is nothing in the preferences of Safari I see which allows to do.  You can set the default font to be not less than a certain value and you can do this in the Advanced tab, but which would prevent all sites with great rendering, any small font.  It wouldn't change the already large fonts and make them smaller.

    If this is the kind of functionality in a browser, I suggest to download Firefox.  You can set the size and font of police at all what you want, which are two things you can't do in Safari.

I received error messages from a site on "a slow loading flash animation" and "tips" online suggest that I have to uninstall and reinstall Flash. What I did. And, since then, accidents are virtually instantaneous at the launch of the app.

    Ridiculous that I can't delete and reinstall only Safari, and I prefer not having to reinstall the entire operating system.

    Other options?

  • Safari launches at startup in other languages

    I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on a MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end 2013) - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7; 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB

    This just started happening. Whenever I start Safari starts with this page open. I have no idea what language it is, assuming it isn't just garble, much less talk about anything whatsoever. I see the word 'Pakistan' a couple of times. I guess this can't be good. I know it's annoying. I have no idea why Safari starts up by itself, much less, why he opens this page. Oh, and I certainly have not clicked this link. I did nothing with the language preferences and I've never been far away nor any link to Pakistan. How do I stop this? Thank you.

  • Launch of Safari gives me an alert cleaner.me

    Here seasoned Mac user...

    Spending all day setting up my new iMac and have to go to a lot of sites to update some of my apps etc. and suddenly a popup came who said:

    'To'http://apple.com-cleaner.me'.

    F VIRUS

    The last visited Web site infected your Mac with a virus.

    Press OK to start the repair process"

    I know certainly DO NOT press OK, well, this happened to me before the way back a few years ago. But at the time, when CPU has been slower to launch, I could launch Safari and quickly knock the preferences, tab and enter there and erase all cookies, cache, etc.. But this iMac is way to fast to do this. The minute I start Safari... I mean BAMMM this alert appears. No time to go to the prefs.

    So my question is... is there a backdoor to remove cache & cookies, another way OR another solution for this problem?

    In fact, I'm going to write this in FireFox.

    When you reopen Safari, hold down the SHIFT key when you click open to prevent display of the previous screens. Then you can go in setting and erase the news Web site and Cookies.

    Open Safari and then go to the Safari menu, click Safari > Preferences , and then select the general tab.

  • Just upgraded to El Capitan and Safari will not use Google

    "I set Google as my preferred search engine under the ' Preferences > > Search" tab, but whenever I type something in the address bar it still use Yahoo!

    Can anyone offer advice on removing Yahoo! as the default search engine?

    Thank you.

    You certainly have a form of malware/adware installed that replaces your preferences whenever you launch Safari.

    Quit the Apple Safari > force quit menu. Relaunch Safari since the Dock icon while holding the SHIFT key. Clear your Safari history and Web data.

  • This morning when I started Firefox it shows my home page as screwed up as yesterday but Safari has shown as it should look like, what is wrong?

    I currently use version 3.6.24 Firefox on my PPC mac with 10.4.11 system. I use Firefox for many years without any problems. I received yesterday and on my screen to alert that there is a new update of Firefox available at the facility. I clicked on OK and the update started. When it's over, I checked and it's the same version, 3.6.24, I used and apparently nothing has changed until I went to my eBay site. Once on my site, I signed in and went to manage my Articles page. The page was different because normally it shows all the items, I have for sale and at the top of the list of points of sale are the three items to check and look at my listings, which I look at you, my profile and my alerts. When you click on one of them you are normally taken to another page. When I went there after apparent installation of the updated release of Firefox page showed my ads in a single column, my profile in another column and third column for my alerts all on one page. This is not normal. I got out and went to my home page which is http://www.rr.com/. Now it was different. Parts of the site have disappeared, the sections with the weather, news, and reviews. I thought it might be the site and then I launched Safari and went to the same page and it is normal. This morning when I started Firefox it shows my home page as screwed up as yesterday. Safari has shown as it should look like. I then started SeaMonkey and it showed the page as it should look like. I really like Firefox and I'd like to get it working again as it should. Would appreciate any suggestions. My email address is [email protected]

When I try to edit theSafari (9.0.3) "Favorites" by selecting and drag - or create a new bookmark, change appears, but then quickly returns to the previous configuration after 3-5 seconds.  I restarted the iMac, tried everything I know, no solution.  Help, please.

    Hello.

    -Make sure that it is not an Extension of the cause. And check also third party Safari addons.

    If it's not Extensions or third party add ons, try the troubleshooting Safari .plist file:

    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file in the Preferences folder to the desktop. Now launch Safari. If you can save bookmarks without him returning to default, place this .plist file in the trash.

    Empty the Safari cache can also help from the menu bar of Safari or command + Option + E on your keyboard.
