How can I remove virus JS/Agentltr of IMAC
My forticlient tells me I have a virus, quarantined the JS/Agentltr. What should I do? I have never had an alert in 4 years, I got the computer. I was hunting at work as of late and many sites per day. Should I fix something on my computer? Any info is appreciated
It's a false alarm or a Windows malware attachment in email (a common occurrence for most users of e-mail). No one can hurt you, and you don't need to do anything. Just do not pass to someone else.
You have no need to do is get rid of the software "anti-virus" (AV). All these software are worse than useless.
Malware Windows is so widespread that you must assume that it is in each attachment until proof to the contrary. If you are just curious to know if a file is recognized as malware by the AV engines, you can download it from the "VirusTotal" site, where it will be tested against most of them. I do not recommend doing this with a file that may contain private information. A negative result is no evidence of anything either, because the AV software is not reliable.
Never leave any AV software remove or 'quarantine' send messages or attachments. This will damage the messaging database.

as I'm reading emails and click on an article... That is to say: New York TIMES, I get this pop-up... asking to "allow" or "do not allow"... I arrive at the article I "allow"or"do not allow"... This has happened for at least two weeks now... How can I remove this pop-up? It is a virus, I ran several scans to check, nothing found... is this a legitimate warning? the pop-up displays a list of microsoft... CCS. EXE.
Hi Benny,.
1. what web browser do you use?
2. did you of recent changes on the computer?
CSC.exe is the executable and related to .net framework c# compiler.
Note: Try the steps only if you are using Internet explorer as your web browser below.
Method 1: Check if Add-ons on Internet Explore are causing the error. I suggest you try opening Internet Explore mode without modules.
(a) click the Start button, click all programs , and click Accessories
(b) click on System Toolsand then click on Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
For more information, see the link below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-browser-add-ons-affect-my-computer
Method 2: If the previous step fails then I suggest that you reset browser settings Internet explorer to the default, if you use internet explore as a web browser.
For more information please visit the link below.
How to reset Internet Explorer settings
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
Important: Reset Internet explore its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

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.

How can I remove a shortcut synchronized since my office/wallper?
OK guys, I tried to copy a shortcut on my desktop, instead, a synchronized on my wallpaper partially reduced Web page. I can't move or delete it. The window contains inactive hypertext links. It contains functional of horizontal and vertical scroll bars, but I can't minimize or maximize. I can drag my other shortcuts just above him, as if it was just a picture. I tryd to restore the PC to an earlier date and the window/shortcut just reappears. When I select the window with a click right there is no option 'remove' either. If I left click on the window, a new window opens on the Web site of reference, as a typical shortcut, but with a single click instead of two. This pc is windows xp 32-bit, with sp3. This happened to someone else, and how can I remove this from my wallpaper? According to the Norton anti-virus software, no threats of malware or viruses were detected.

In order to install a new version of the Anti trend anti-virus software, I have to make sure that another program is completely uninstalled. The trend stops when if is the program still in 'services. How can I remove it?
Out of curiosity, what would the other program that does not properly uninstall?
If it were other software AV (McAfee, Norton, Symantec, NOD32, Avira, Avast, etc.), many of them require their own special to make them correctly and completely uninstalled uninstall tool/program. If you do not uninstall program, you will end up with pieces of the old program left on your system. Just by using Add/Remove programs no longer cuts on some of these things. These uninstaller programs are generally on the Support page for the AV program, you need to uninstall.
In any case (what 3.5%?), here's a good guide that explains how to remove a Service from your system.
