• How can I remove Mac Adware Cleaner? I have

  I think I accidentally downloaded adware.  I was getting popups asking me to install Mac cleaner Adware and other software.  I loaded the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 and but still get a popup in the upper right warning me that I have a virus and you should download the cleaner.  I read advice to someone else's post and takes screenshots of launch of files in the finder, but don't know where to go from here.  Can someone tell me how to get rid of this annoying adware?  Thank you.

  You have no adware/malware, not based on the screenshots.  Looks like you are describing a browser hijacker.  To get rid of him, Force Quit Safari (-> force quit-> Safari), then restart Safari in Mode safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key.  This prevents previously open tabs/windows to reopen.  If that still doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, then go to Safari-> clear history.  This will remove your complete browsing history.  Reconnect to the Internet, then quit Safari normally and it starts normally.  Always make this pop-up?

  In the future, to prevent hackers to support browser Safari (or), avoid the following types of sites:

  • XXX sites
  • torrent sites
  • Group download sites (CNET, download (dot) com, Softpedia, MacUpdate, Softonic, etc..)
  • MP3 download sites (Mp3 Skull, mp3monkey, etc.)
  • any site that says you can do or download something for free that you would otherwise cost money

  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.

• double job with firefox (i.e.2) icons are on the i - mac toolbar. How can I remove one of these icons?

  Duplicate (i.e.2) icons have appeared on my toolbar of the i - Mac in Firefox. How can I remove one of these icons, please? Delete Firefox!
  Have you tried the method Apple 'recommended', i.e. parts dragging one of these icons and cares for her... then the copy of the icon should disappear. But it does not... .the duplicate icon then a few 'jumps' back on my toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

  Have also tried the key 'command' and then by dragging the icon desired and holding to it... but the same thing happens... compare to disappear, the icon "just jump" back to my toolbar.
  Would be grateful for any help and advice on the above. Thank you in anticipation of your help.

  The only time I see two icons for a Mozilla application in the dock is when I have to restart after installing an extension or a new theme. The additional icon disappears if I restart again. I have an extension that gives me a reset button to use. There is an add-on for Firefox that can give you a reset button, if you care to try this remedy.

• How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

  How can I remove chum research Malware on my Mac

  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.

  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.
