• Check for the presence of malware/adware/spyware software

  I'm currently looking if I have no malware/adware/spyware on my computer. I followed the steps on the other discussions as removing the. Agent.plist and other daemon.plist. Right now I don't see any symptoms (such as force redirection Web site or just completely frozen screen) but I don't know if there is nothing else left. Could someone there check it please for me? Thank you!

• GoodGame Empire banner

  I get Goodgame Empire banner occasionally form in the top right corner of the screen. Any tips how to get rid of?
  I uninstalled Apps with AppCleaner folder and deleted form autorun. It appears always

  First of all, get rid of 'AppCleaner,' which is useless and dangerous.

  1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

  The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

  Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

  2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

  There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

  You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

  In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

  You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

  Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

  However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

  4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

  ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

  ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

  ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

  ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

  These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

  5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

  You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

  6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

  7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

  8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

  9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

  If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

  If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

  10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

      Test started

          Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec

      The test results are on the Clipboard.

      Please close this window.

  The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

  Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

  11. when the test is completed, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

  At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

  If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

  12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

  13. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  14. the related UNIX shell script incorporates a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.

• How can I remove Goodgame Empire

  Recently, I got a pop up that appear on my computer called Goodgame Empire. It is somehow in the Launchpad also. I checked with the Finder and nothing exists under this name in the files. When I drag and drop the icon into the trash, he returned immediately to Launchpad. How can I get rid of him?

  Try Malwarebytes for Mac:

  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/Mac-download/

  He might be able to find it and allow you to remove it.

  Ciao.

• Continuing to malware / adware problem

  Hello

  I have finally upgraded to El Capitan at last week. I had no problem until today when I downloaded a new Java Update, which I think may have also installed some sort of adware / malware on my system. Since the installation of new advertising tabs open (on both Firefox and Safari) when I click on some normal links on some sites. I also see underlined green links ad on some pages.

  I tried all the tips I can find online, including of Malwarebytes, Avast, reinstall browsers, try a new user, follow the instructions to remove "DownLite" etc. I also checked the LaunchAgent and LaunchDaemons folders in my library, and they seem to be something unusual.

  Any help with this would be much appreciated because it becomes extremely frustrating Apple have advised me to reinstall OS X, but I would try other options first as it may seem a bit drastic!

  Thank you very much

  Tomai

  You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. You have already seen that it does not work.

  Save all data first.

  If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X, update or upgrade in the App Store you risk adware remove automatically. If you are already using the latest version, please log off or restart the computer. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

  If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

  If the malware is not removed automatically, see below.

  This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

  Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

  If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. The malware will be disabled temporarily.

  Step 1

  Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  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 press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

  If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

  Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

  Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

  Leave the case open for now.

  Step 2

  Do as in step 1 with this line:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

  Step 3

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

  Step 4

  Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

  Step 5

  If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

• Software malware/adware removal instructions

  OS: 10.11.3

  Symptoms: popup on chrome (wonderlandads)

  I search on google and found pop - up for wonderlandads is adware/malware.

  I scanned my system with Avast / avira and malware bytes. He did not find anything

  I checked the extension and did not find any suspicious extension (only lastpass extenstion is here)

  I have reset the browser, erased the history and cache, check the default search and page by default, everything seems to be OK.

  The pop-up window becomes very irritating.

  How can I identify and remove this adware.

  I guess that there are legitimate software that delivered adware, but I don't know which.

  Help, please

• Anti-Virus detects but removes no adware/malware

  Hello

  I have a Readynas RN102 with 6.4.1. firmware. I have more installed anti-virus. Today it started to detect Adware (W32 / Adware.DEZV - 3749 or NsCPUMiner32.exe) and Bitcoinminer Trojan (W64Adware.DEZV - 3749 - NsCPUMiner64.exe). Both were hidden in a file called Info.zip.

  Because I couldn't see the files in the management web page / share (even when displaying of hidden files) I changed the anti-virus more to 'Action - Delete' setting and a scheduled scan. He had tested and found the files, but in log files, he repeats that I have to delete the infected file yourself.

  Any help on:

  -log file: why does not say what is it deleted the file or not

  -display and by deleting files myself manually

  -a specific malware / adware removal app for the ReadyNas

  Thanks in advance,

  Jan

  HA Kodhee,

  Thank you. I always keep my antivirus updated. So maybe this is the reason why no virus is detected (asuming it was a false alarm as well).

  I did what you suggested and selected / unselected files of several cards that were "infected" files It was an hour ago, and I don't have any message. More than my scan that I had planned this evening.

  I'll keep my fingers crossed and do a final check tomorrow morning.

• Adware included with Thunderbird install?

  I used the advice http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-start-menu-updated-popup/ Malware to remove adware. The removal procedure, says he could have been included in a recent installation. The only installation that I did on the date in question is Thunderbird.

  Any version of Thunderbird https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/ has been proven to come up with any form of consciousness/malware. It is a topic about it here, on sites forums.mozillazine.org and technicians autour so true with the recent version of TB.

  It may have came with a recent update or install other software and you noticed at some point.

  Some sites like download .com aka cnet can have stuff bundled with software otherwise clean example of download, the downloaded software.

• is it decent software anti malware for osx 10.5.8

  I think there's malware on the iMac. It is a G5 with osx 10.5.6. I go down to drop windows in Safari, kind of randomly, who says that Safari cannot identify a particular site, and I want to go? I always click on leave. Tumblr or something as it is one of the sites - the other mentions adware, I think.

  Does anyone know anti-malware that I can use with this iMac intel os and pre?

  Thank you

  You may need to consider TenFourFox browser because it is updated.

  Safari is not. Four of the 10 Fox is a mozilla derived from generation customized for Mac PPC.

  You can choose a different browser as system by default in Safari preferences

  This is a way to bypass many of the problems with obsolete Safari. I've seen

  is no evidence in any of my two Macs on the G4 (10.5.8) adware or malware running.

  It is the TenFourFox for Mac PPC browser homepage; link to note G5 edition:

  http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

  And if market 10.5.6 download the Combo update to 10.5.8 Leopard.

  For Safari in Mac later, there are suggestions in the following article on adware

  and this may seem like malware. I had no adware or malware in my

  Macs PowerPC G4; There may be instructions in the manual on how to search for songs of

  suspicious content in this support page. Avoid products such as AdwareMedic

  or malwarebytes anti-malware for Mac because it works in later Macs intel who use OS X.

• Suspected malware in the form of Adobe Flash Player install crib

  I believe that I have installed a few malware disguised as an update of Adobe Flash.

  I may have made on July 11, 2015, in response to a pop - up in Firefox 39.0.

  My computer shows symptoms of malware. Looking into the problem, I discovered on the 'Flash' malware on the Apple support page https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3122.

  You are invited by reading that, I searched my system and found a file I think. When I search my Applications folder by using the term "flash," I see an instance of AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app version 18.0.0.209, copyright 2008. It is installed in the Utilities folder. It was created on my Mac on July 11 and amended July 14, which would be consistent with the time period where I now remembers seeing the context menu of browser who said that I was using an outdated copy of Flash.

  Now, I'm trying move the suspect Flash application file to the trash. When I right click and select move to trash, I get a Finder window asking my computer password. Should I do this? If this is not the case, how to remove this suspicious file?

  Please let know us also on all the other steps recommended recovery.

  I learned the lesson is not to update software through pop-up windows in the browser.

  Attach a screenshot of the window read the information of the suspect file.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Flash Player creates the AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app in/Applications/Utilities /.  You can check if it is a legitimate "Adobe" file by checking the signature on it.  To do this, follow these steps:

  • Start Terminal.app From/Applications/Utilities
  • At the prompt, type: codesign vdv - Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Flash\ Flash Install\ by
    • You can type codesign - vdv and then drag the AdobeFlashPlayerInstallManager.app file in the Terminal window
  • The results should have ' authority = Developer ID of Application: Adobe Systems, Inc.

  The reason why you're being invited, by the operating system, for the password is that the directory of the application has elevated permissions and to remove the file from her (or install) requires the admin password to make changes to the protected file system directories.

  Adobe has also released and updated Tuesday, July 14.  If you may have gotten a notification pop up as a result.  However, without a screenshot of the popup notification, I can't verify it was that, or something else.

  If you want, I can take a look at your FlashPlayerInstallManager.log file and see if there was an update around the time that this has happened. Please read the FAQ where can I find the Flash Player on Macintosh Setup log? for the location of the log file.  This FAQ contains several different log files, just look for FlashPlayerInstallManager.log and provide a file using the specified item was not found. instructions.

  Also, if you have not yet done so, you can run a scan for viruses/malware/adware/etc.

• Why update firefox and got a 'free' bing search bar and two software malicious adware?

  After an automatic update - no, I do not download no matter what new version of any dangerous place - I found that I had the Bing search bar-which I think I've turned it off, not sure if - and two malware/adware problems. First was rvzr - a.akamaihd which arises a new tab when clicking first on a website, then I found that I had offerswizard adding banners - blocked most of them - and the creation of hiperlinks with mini pop ups when passed above it with the mouse - sorry if my English is not clear. I tried AVG free and there wasn't any warning. Finally, ad-block and rgiht, click on the arrow to search bing seems to fix the problem, however, offerswizard must be uninstalled manually - lightning enhance program, I think that - after a google search.
  The main question is... can I trust firefox download/upgrade to automatic update?

  Thank you all for your answers. I tried to mark it as resolved, but I doubt that I did.

  First I tried in windows / removal of unwanted software programs. Installed an adblocker for FF
  Then I downloaded the adware 3.8 removal tool and the problem is almost solved. Still a few details could be improved, but I can live with that.

  I think someone took advantage of the installation of FF and it makes any other malware on my computer.

  Thank you once again.
