[El capitan] You'll find impossible to remove, even after looking for files.

Hello world.

I download an application on a non-official site and stupidly I installed it in my computer. Usually I don't do this kind of things, but I made this mistake because I was in a hurry and check several things while clicking on install.

Now, I did some research and discovered that the problem are these so-called browser hijackers, as you'll find.

Problems:

-Safari and Chrome open with a different start page.

-Safari and Chrome stops after inactivity, or randomly

-It is possible to change the settings in both browsers, solve the problem until you close and reopen.

I'll post a few records that relate to the issue and see if that helps a little. I also used the Malwarebytes without success. You can write codes and commands Unix.

Thank you much for the help.

Open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac and choose to contact Support on the Help menu. We will be able to help you get rid of it.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and because the "padlock" icon never appears when you access secure Web sites, where should I look for it?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the 'lock' icon is nowhere (I don't know) when you access secure Web sites. I've not seen once. It appeared in the lower right of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

    Well, in the secure Web sites part of the address bar is allocated to the part of the security certificate. For example, here in these forums you can see your address bar is as follows: mozilla.com . https://support.mozilla.com... The front ' |' ("mozilla.com") is what I'm talking about. For more information on the security certificate, you can mouse over and also clicking on it.

    You could look at this and Yes, it has become current,

  • Why what I get a message "You are not connected to Internet" even after having to connect every time?

    Why can't my computer not just automatically start when I turn it on and connect using my password, instead of having to go through a separate step to connect to Internet via VZ access? Most of my friends just click on IE or Firefox, then right away. Is there a way to stay constantly connected?

    I gather from your question that you are using Verizon DSL with PPPOE connection (which requires a logon).  The usual way to automate this process is-
    -If you are connected directly to a DSL modem or modem/router combination unit, create a profile in the Autologon feature.
    -If you use a router connected to a DSL modem, configure the log on your router.

  • Impossible to disable touchpad after installing Win7 on Qosmio x 300

    Hello

    I have a laptop Qosmio X 300, which came with Vista. When I was with Vista, I turned off the tap-click for the touchpad because of its sensitivity.
    Now, I installed Win7 and I can't find the options as before. Does the laptop have a synaptics pointing device and I installed all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.
    I looked in the control panel and tried to change the settings of the software synaptics touchpad, but I had no luck.

    Do you have any suggestions? Should I'm looking for a driver for win7 for my touchpad?

    Thank you
    Ruxandra

    You can disable the touchpad in the mouse properties too.
    Simply click on the disablebutton.

  • "cannot find accespoint in the trial _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in the file." DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll."?

    I installed CC2015, Ps and Lr as a trial. As well as the Ps 13 elements trial.

    Installation goes well, Ps a Lr test started, but I can't open one or the other.

    When I go into the program files and open the applications from there, or I use the desktop shortcuts, I get an error "cannot find accespoint in the trial _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in the file.» DLL. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll ' (Dutch translation)

    Both Lr and Ps give the same error, only difference is the header indicating either 'Photoshop.exe - accespoint not found' or 'Lightroom.exe - accespoint not found. "

    Cannot download Jpeg or PNG images for some reason any (banned types of images)?

    PS Elements 13 starts in a small dualwindow who wants to open the library (left) or the editor in a trial (right), 13 items Ps starts and then crashes, the library opens if chosen.

    I tried to - and re - installing everything several times. Chat contact who gave me a subscription paid as a solution.

    However, I can't start any application Adobe 2015. even the trial of 13 elements Ps crashes at startup, after that he asked me to begin the trial.

    So Ps and Lr do not say expired test, in CC-Startup-tab it says 29 days left (in my tests), never gave the Apps tab "starting the trial" - buttons and only see the 'buy now' - buttons...

    Someone an idea?

    I use an i7Q820, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 8.1 computer.

    Tried to install with or without programs AV and firewall.

    Can I just clear and clean with cleaner creative cloud and start over?

    Lost some faith in software already from tent to install a trial already cost me more than half a day with no application of work so far and the proposed solution is a paid subscription where I've never seen a 'trial-expired-window', an open application or any place to put a key in.

    Thanks in advance.

    Eric

    First of all, let me write the correct translation of the error message, so everyone can find it, and sorry for my poor old translation, it should be;

    "Photoshop.exe - Entry Point not found", and "Lightroom.exe - Entry Point not found".

    "The entry procedure point not found _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in the C:/Windows/System32/MSVCP110.dll dynamic link library."

    The solution is simple...

    This is a problem in Microsoft Visual C++ 2012, I found my answer in this post;

    Photoshop Entry Point not found

    My solution has been/is;

    Control Panel > programs and features (Add/Remove Programs) > first look for Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 x 64 > right click > change (not remove/uninstall).

    A window pop up > choose repair

    The Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 will be fixed x 64 > finish

    Then look for Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 x 86 > right click > edit (not remove/uninstall).

    A window pop up > choose repair

    The Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 will be repaired x 86 > when finished it will ask a reboot/restart.

    After normal restart of Photoshop, Lightroom and 13 started Ps elements and asked if I would continue my trial period.

    All applications work normal.

    A shame, I lost 2 days on Ps a Lr looking for this simple solution.

    I hope this will help others in the future.

    Hi florane

    Have you been able to sync with WMP11 before? This problem only started recently?

    Try these steps and check:

    1 check out the iRiver firmware updates site - they have made updates to H10 for example when WMP11 is out:

    http://www.iriver.com/HTML/support/download/sudw_list.asp?searchProductIdx=73

    2. also delete sync in WMP relationship - plug in the appliance, if it is set to auto-sync: plug it in, go to synchronize, click on the small arrow below, and then choose the iRiver and the 'end sync partnership.

    3. then go to the Control Panel, Device Manager, see if the camera is there, and then uninstall it. Disconnect and reconnect the iRiver, which should refresh the device and restart WMP to see if it works better.

  • When you run McAfee scan in Vista, shows the E:/bin/IA/MdmServ.exe file as a threat, impossible to remove

    Hello
    This E:/bin/IA/MdmServ.exe file will appear as a threat to my computer after a scan with McAfee. McAfee says that I have to restart my computer for its removal. After the reboot, for a few days, my scans are normal only and then I get the file as a threat.
    McAfee detects it as a Trojan horse. I tried to access the file to try to remove it manually, but a window pops up saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    This could really be a threat and if so how to remove?

  • Finder crashes when you try to click with the right button on any file or icon

    I'm on Capitan 10.11.3. Any icon on the desktop or in finder itself is affected. In addition, I can't open the app store or quicktime.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Impossible to remove dock items

    The application iBooks, maps and pictures can be removed is no longer dock.  Also true for the downloads folder.  I saw the old forums, as old as 2014, that has happened to a few people before.  It's always the same applications and files when it arrives. Unfortunately, what has worked for them has not worked for me.  Here is what I tried:

    (1) removed every element of the dock option when the application is open (it disappears after resigning, but reappears after the next log in)

    (2) removed every element of the docking station when the app is closed, either by dragging or 'options' (even once, reappears after the next login)

    (3) delete the plist of dock library.  After restart, got a default dock with the number of items.  Removed the above mentioned, but they reappear after the next login.

    (4) deleted the plist for each of the above applications.

    (5) has increased to El Capitan Yosemite (nothing has changed)

    Other notes:

    -open and read the plist for the dock and since it is written in the file to the apps and the file above in the dock.  Tried to edit this file directly, but they always come back.

    -have you checked the info on the plist for the dock and found that

    (1) I have read and write permissions

    (2) in section general, the LOCKED box is unchecked

    (3) the modified date is the last time I had logged in

    All of this started happening when I ran a series of updates to the system while staying in Yosemite.  One was a security update, I don't remember what the others were.
