  last night I went to the new site of mackeeper (not a pop-up) and downloaded and bought (via paypal) kromtech mackeeper 3.11.3 version (1407). all goes well until now, but I'm panic after reading the reviews right now (my eldest son has just warned me). My cousin has been around and helped to check something on my computer.

  Help! What is best to do now? I have specific programs to the internet bank to protect my account/data, but am really panic! Please let me know? best and thanks, Rod

• I got scammed by Mackeeper and they deleted all my favorites and history! Help!

  I have a macbook pro retina 13 (2013) and downloaded Mackeeper hoping he would clean my computer... A technician went to my computer erased all my notes in the Notes application and the content of my firefox: history, bookmarks and then left without saying anything. I have a return to the top of it and you do not have a firefox or profile. How can I recover this data? Help!

  Thanx.

  PS. I did some research on mackeeper and discovered it's more late was a scam, a very huge scam! Never download.

  HI ndaaunhi,

  Hello Bigtex221,

  This sounds like adware. I wrote a small diagnostic program to help show what adware is installed. 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.

  If adware is installed, EtreCheck will help remove you, although you may need to provide a password. If you are not comfortable with that, just after the report of EtreCheck here and other AIDS can tell you exactly which files should be deleted and the way to do it.

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

• MacKeeper install nightmare

  After installing the MacKeeper stupidly, I now have a guest user account that never existed since the first get this MBP.

  MacKeeper is eliminated, along with most of the BS, she has created. Using Malwarebytes that I also deleted

  /private/etc/St-up.sh

  /etc/change_net_settings.sh

  /etc/St-up.sh

  leaving only 4 points I can't delete anything in MacHD/private/var:

  cellulate in MacHD/private/var

  com Apple.launchd.PerUser.401 in MacHD/private/var/db/launchd.db

  com Apple.launchd.PerUser.401 in MacHD/private/var/log

  pishaugupd.root in MacHD/private/var/tmp

  No idea what is cellulate? or pishaugupd.root? No idea how to get rid of these?

  In addition, no matter what, I can't remove the guest user account. The button "-" does not help. I have disabled the account.

  I've never used iCloud or find my Mac.

  I signed to iCloud, just be sure to find my Mac has been checked, but it was AFTER the guest user account appeared.

  He is also now an 'other' on the login screen, more two users, I had since the first place this MBP. I have not the slightest idea of what name or password for this account, tried a few guesses, vain. I would like to eliminate from the login screen.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated and please clarify suggestions developed in detail. Thank you

  The guest account is part of OSX and nothing to worry about. It is for temporary use, if someone wants to use your Mac and you don't want them playing with your account; its contents and settings are erased when you log out. You can not delete it, but as I said, it is quite normal that she is.

  Thank you

  You have installed one or more variants of the malware ad-injection "VSearch. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

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

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  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. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  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. Please don't skip this step. The files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change within about a minute, so they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Search in the folder with the name of all these forms:

  com.something.daemon.plist

  com.something.Helper.plist

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  Here, something is a string, which may be different in each instance of VSearch random meaningless. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as "disbalance" or "thunderbearer."

  You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

  There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com.somethingelseUpd.plist

  where George can be an empty string of sense that something different. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of Gisele.

  Here is a typical example of an infection VSearch:

  com.disbalance .net - preferences.plist

  com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

  You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

  If you feel confident that you have identified the files above, drag only the files - nothing - to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder window.

  2. open this folder as in step 1:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  Move to the trash all the files with the name of the form

  com.something.agent.plist

  where something is one of the strings that you found in step 1. There may be not all of these files.

  3. If you have whatever it is moved to the trash in step 1 and step 2, restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Do not remove the folder 'LaunchAgents' or "LaunchDaemons", or anything else inside of one or the other, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. Records are a normal part of Mac OS X. The terms "agent" and "demon" is a reference to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  4 reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  5. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

  If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

  6. the penalty may have started when you have downloaded and run an application called 'MPlayerX' or "PDF Pronto." If there is an element with a name in the Applications folder, delete it.

  This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow. Never install software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or which has been downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

  In the aspect of security & confidentiality of system preferences, select the general tab. The marked anywhere radio button should not be selected. If this is the case, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and then select an other keys. After that, do not ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown Director.

  Then, still in system preferences, open the pane of the App Store or software update and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later version)

  or

  Automatically download the updates (OS X 10.9 or earlier version)

  If it is not already done.

  Hello!
