Help! Safari cannot connect to the server

I really need help! I tried to forget the network and turning it back on, I have disabled the firewall and remove all extensions of safari. I seems that nothing works.

I get the message 'Safari cannot connect to the server' on almost every site except this and facebook. I can't enter same Urbanoutfitters.com or ASOS. I just got the message "Safari could not connect to Server" I'm not a computer genius so hopefully someone here can help me...

You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. 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.

Step 1

VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

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 other instructions.

Step 2

When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. 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. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

Step 3

In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

com Apple.something.plist

When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

com Apple.builins.plist

com Apple.cereng.plist

com Apple.nysgar.plist

There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

com.something.plist

Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

com.semifasciaUpd.plist

com.ubuiling.plist

Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

com.something .net - preferences.plist

This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

Restart the computer and empty the trash.

Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

com Apple.aelwriter.plist

com Apple.SERVERD.plist

com Tether.plist

The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

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

If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

Step 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

If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

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.

Step 5

The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

Step 6

This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

  • Safari cannot connect to the server, but other browsers can?

    Hi all

    I read a lot of posts on this issue but do not seem to share the same success or symptoms.

    I'm unable to access a domain www.ninnim.co.uk

    I can access it fine on my iPhone and Chrome.

    I can't access mode without failure or any other profiles created.

    I have not a firewall is enabled, and it is the only area in which I can't access. Of course, when I talk about godaddy they simply access via IE and it works fine, which puts an end to their participation in supporting me.

    Someone has ideas what could cause this and how can I do to put it right?

    In hopeful preparation, I have this information that has helped others in the past;

  • Computers cannot connect to the server mirgae

    Hello

    I have the following problem.

    We have install a Mirage 4.0 Server and installed the Mirage-Agent to 10 customers.

    Eight of them are working properly. The other two cannot connect to the server. I figured out the they do not have a UUID in the BIOS.

    Mirage-server log appears in the event log, as the uuid = ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff on both computers.

    How can I make unique to the mirage computers?

    And how the mirage will create the AgentID?

    Thanks for your help?

    Sebastian

    Mirage uses the BIOS UUID and serial number to identify an endpoint. When one of them is absent, the other is usually sufficient.

  • interruption of the connection, cannot connect to the server

    I just bought Photoshop Touch for my Tablet Galaxy Note 8. I signed up for Creative Cloud by using an old I connect by an ereader, it still worked, just asked me for my date of birth. I opened creative cloud and as he suggests, dragged an image (jpg) in the screen that appears, and the use of the data went from zero. I then went to the tablet in Creative cloud he has signed with the same login name, then went to settings sync - sync files 'on', only the synchronization with wifi; and he said: "the synchronization process complete", tier 0% complete - which seems to be wrong as it is supposed to be a file there. Then I go to "new" and choose Creative cloud - it works a few boxes around and comes up with "interruption of the connection, cannot connect to the server.
