Help to remove malware on Safari

While trying to help someone else to my computer got compromised. Something about its video software was outdated.

It started with something which if called kitboxfile, now I have full screen pages.

The page in question is...securesafariupdatealarm.info/alarmalert/index.html

Also appear in the activity monitor.

Can't leave.

If I force quit Safari page opens again when starting.

Here is the part of the message he puts on my screen...

Are you sure you want to leave this page? At risk security system * critical security warning! Your Mac may be infected with a serious attack on this system, such as your IP address to access two different places at the same time. A suspicious connection might be trying to access your connection, Internet banking & tracking of your activity details. Please contact Support Mac team immediately at + 1-888-399-1467 (TOLL FREE) and provide the UR97L1DA2TA scanner error code

Do not click on links or call phone numbers. These are scams. Your computer is not infected. These are all adware. See below on how to get out of the lock of Safari:

Useful links about Malware problems

Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

Quit Safari

Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

Relaunch Safari

If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  • Help to remove a Virus

    I have a Gateway computer running Windows Vista. Everything was fine until today when the computer went crazy. It was shortly after the opening of an email in the Yahoo mail Preview window, so I can't that assume the virus came from, but I didn't click on any attachments.

    Now for the hard part. I don't have any antivirus installed on my computer prior to this software. Stupid, I know. I can't go online from my computer because all that it has blocked internet access, so I can't fix it with any one of the online scanners. I also tried to install an antivirus (Kaspersky) software on the computer. In safe mode, it hangs at halfway through the installation. In normal startup mode, the program will not even attempt to install, and the computer tells me the CD I try installing from ot is a virus.

    I'm out of ideas. What should I do if I can't get help in the computer? I know that I could always wipe the HD, but I don't want to lose my files.

    Hi Maria239 and ajs795,

    Do NOT BUY the bogus software because he won't always help in removing the fake software itself,
    It takes your money.

    What is the name of the bogus software and the website it directs you to. We can tell you
    How to remove it when we have the correct information.

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

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

    any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    It's a scam.

    Here are the tips that we regularly give the posters who receive these types of calls:

    We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  • Help me remove the address bar at my screen

    I sent my laptop in for repair and they reloaded windows 8. However, I now have this bar to address extended at the top of my screen and it does not allow anything else on the screen to go full screen. Browsers, e-mail, photos, documents, spreadsheets, everything appears under the address bar which I want to go far. I have browsers if I want an address bar. I put one on my taskbar. I don't have that on my previous windows 8 (or a person helped me remove years ago and I don't remember). How can I remove it?

    I think that the problem had to do with a browser. Microsoft insisted that I upgrade to 8.1 (gave me no choice, not happy that although I was hesitant for me I need to charge a bunch of applications that does not seem to be the case). Once it is I reload Firefox that I use as my main browser and the problem has not occurred. I can't say with certainty it is Firefox, but this is what I suspect.
