How to get rid of malware on my macbook
How to get rid of malware on my macbook... I'm getting lots of pop-up windows on my macbook and an employee of deleted Mac software I paid for (don't remember the name of it) when I was at the Mac store in Adelaide a few months ago because she said, Mac is not viruses or malware. All that has been downloaded to my Mac is disrupting my work so you would appreciate the help as soon as POSSIBLE... Please! Free would be better that I don't want to pay 2 times.
Click here and follow the instructions, or if it is not a type of adware is covered by them on the computer, these. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.
MalwareBytes is a removal tool and does not stop adware or other malware from entering the computer. For effective protection, do not download software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites.

Adware? And how to get rid of?
Since last week when I'm redirected to a game at random navigation site. First of all, I thought it was just something to do with Firefox (the browser I used), but then the same thing happened with other browsers too. I then installed Opera to judge if it would happen again and Yes, it happened. Then I tried to reinstall the whole OS, hoping that would solve the problem. There can be no. I always get redirected to a site "yu0123456". How to get rid of this? I installed AdGuard so it blocks me enter the site, but still not open tabs. After the reset of the operating system (I also erased the hard drive), I did not visit malicious sites. I just downloaded programs I had before that happens again (steam, Spotify, discord). I tried to scan my Mac with Malware Antibytes, but he found nothing. If it's harmless, I could live with that, but it's very irritaring. If there is a chance he could phis my information, so I want that he removed as soon as possible. What can I do?
Thanks in advance!
Adware is usually not malicious. Its purpose is to push ads into your face. Adware makers get a fraction of a payment of one hundred whenever an ad is shown. That's their motivation.
You say wipe you the drive, but if you restored a backup Time Machine or Migration Wizard to restore your applications and the user account, you managed that by copying the problem at the back.
MalwareBytes for Mac can't catch everything. The adware manufacturers are constantly changing which moved things and which appoints the files have. It's a job without end for manufacturers of MalwareBytes to catalogue these items, so they can be found and removed. But of course he is not hurt anything to use as it can remove a lot of problems for you, leaving only the new elements, unknown to locate and remove manually.
Depending on where you have steam, Spotify and discord, the installers may have been (and often are) responsible for the installation of adware and you want to install.
Download and run EtreCheck. Copy and paste the results here. It is written and maintained by long time forum member etresoft. Any personal information is automatically excluded from the output. The goal is to see what processes are running on your Mac. From there, they can usually determine what is wrong.

How to get rid of spyware on safari?
How can I get rid of the Malware/Spyware?
Hello
Since my safari seems to be infected I checked the net and found this thread on top that has been resolved, but it is not for me.
I guess I downloaded an installer and it installed a malware that affects all the interactions of my navigation! Yes it's called Searchme, no I have no extensions in my preferences, I also have a pop up window coming often asking me to verify my mackeeper which I don't have in my computer at all!
Everywhere wherever I am "BOLD" words and symbols and every time I click on something it opens many windows and one always come for a quiz feedback supposed to get free iphones etc...
I don't know how to get rid of those that I have looked everywhere and found nothing! I guess my pirate safari and I can't find how to have it cleaned.
TechTool won't find ;(
Thanks for your help!
Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987
After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.
Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'
Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.
Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.
Also, I think it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.

Vista Internet Security 2012 Trojan-how to get rid of him.

Hello
read below for information on what it is and how to remove it
It changes its name, but it's the same Malware program
Win 7 Antispyware 2012, 2012 Antivirus Vistaand XP Security 2012 are all names for the same fake anti-spyware. This family of thieves is promoted in two ways. The first is to use antivirus scanners online fake state that your computer is infected and then prompt you to download a file that will install the infection. The other method are pirated web sites that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in programs that you run on your computer to install the infection without your knowledge or permission. No matter how it is installed, as soon as it runs on your computer it will install as a variety of names in different programs and graphical interfaces depending on the version of Windows that is running. Whatever the name, however, they all end the same program with just a different skin to this topic. This rogue is going to program different names, one of which I have listed below based on the version of Windows that is installed on:
Windows XP rogue nameName of Rogue Windows VistaWindows 7 Rogue nameXP Antispyware 2012 Vista Antispyware 2012 Win 7 Antispyware 2012 XP Antivirus 2012 Vista Antivirus 2012 Win 7 Antivirus 2012 XP Security 2012 Vista Security 2012 Win 7 Security 2012 XP Home Security 2012 Vista Home Security 2012 Win 7 Home Security 2012 XP Internet Security 2012 Vista Internet Security 2012 Win 7 Internet Security 2012 Follow the EXACT below removal instructions

Yes, this popup is annoys me no end! It appears each time I fill in a password anywhere! It is more or less said: "Do you remember this password?". first of all I didn't know what program did this, but now I know that it is Mozilla Firefox. Why so many of (and undesirable too) want to pop-up windows to 'help' when in fact what they do is irritate the person and not even identify the program. It is a parody of the worst kind! You do not?
If anyone knows how to get rid of it forever, please let me know? Thank you very much! Adelaa
If you want to just disable this for a specific domain, you can click the drop-down list and click "never for this site". Otherwise, you can go to the Security section of the firefox preferences (enter ' subject: preferences #security ' in the address bar) and uncheck "remember passwords for sites".
