  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 you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

  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

  How can I remove the tones created in garageband that have been uninstalled? I also installed but I can't remove it either please help thanks

  Hello Michael,

  Welcome to Apple Support communities.

  I see that you need assistance, removal of GarageBand ringtones that were uninstalled. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage your tones. I can help you with this.

  Use the article for iOS (iPad) 2.0.x GarageBand: GarageBand share songs, more precisely, this section:

  To remove the existing ringtones follow these steps:

  • Press to select, then press the button Delete for any ringtone you want to delete.

  • Drag a ringtone in the list, and then press delete.

  Have a great day!

• How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal.

  How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.

  1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal

  ▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell

  If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.

  2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.

  Back up all data.

  Select

  New Shell command ▹

  in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked

  Run the command inside a shell

  If it is enabled.

  Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:

  /bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files

  Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:

  /bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files

  History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".

  Close the window and open a new test.

  You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.

• I imported my address books. How can I remove the default empty

  I imported my address from my old computer books in Thunderbird on my new computer. Empty default address books don't seem to be able to be deleted, so I have now two books personal address and two collected addresses, the first of all is the default value for empty one and the second is my populated version. Thunderbird seems to point to the default empty. How can I remove the empty for default Thunderbird to my places.

  Thank you

  I don't think you can remove the default books. I open any personal book, select a contact, do a control + a to select all and drag in the personal address book by default. Then delete the empty book. Then do the same for the collected books.

  You will be perhaps easier to delete bookmarks you don't want in the list of the bookmarks library.
