I accidentally loaded MacKeeper, how do I remove it?

I was downloading what I thought was an upgrade of Flash Player and got MacKeeper on my top bar. Looks a bit like the caricature of WallE Eva. How to get rid of this thing?

MacKeeper is malware, uninstall it immediately. Always install only site Adobes Flash, NEVER by another site!

  • Were files have been downloaded to my creative cloud accidentally.  How can I remove them?

  • I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    With Facebook on display, click the button to the site identity (for more details on what is, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

  • How can I remove a 10 iOS app? There is no mention that a menu

    How can I remove a 10 iOS app?

    All 10 iOS did when I press and hold, is to bring up a menu - which is a feature new, unexpected and undesirable new iOS operating system 10. This action is used to make the icons to move, I could press the "x" on the app, and it has been deleted. Now, I get a menu, without any option to delete.

    Help would be appreciated

    Post edited by: Grace Hope
    I just thought about it - you must maintain the App "slightly" and then move the icons, and you can press the 'x' to remove the application. If you push hard and here, the menu useless appears - lack of vision of Steve Jobs to Apple... he really wants this App menu? Without disabling option - the only thing I see is maybe turn off touch 3D, but I have not yet tried this plan.

    Tactile 3D power off will solve the problem. You can also try setting the sensitivity of touch 3D cabinet so that there is a major difference between a light and press tap. Tactile 3D can also just take some time to get used to. I struggled for the first week with building accidentally instead of tapping, but now I'm a pro at home. To access the tactile 3D settings, go to settings > general > accessibility > scroll to the 3D button.

  • How can I remove ad.yieldmanager in firefox 12.0

    How can I remove ad.yieldmanager.com in firefox 12.0 that I went to tools, options, privacy, use of the custom settings for history and then added exceptions "ad.yieldmanager.com" must be blocked. Cleaned all cookies. It always appears when I connect on Firefox, just below my toolbars. I ran Avast Antivirus, Malwarebytes, Spyware Terminator 2012 and it did not help either.

    If I have understood correctly, you are referring to the status bar (the little box in the corner of the window that is displayed when the page load).

    Blocking cookies has no effect on connections to Web sites.

    Install the Adblock Plus extension, and then subscribe to any general of ad-blocking, for example EasyList.

    Alternatively, if you want to just block this particular field, install the BlockSite extension.

  • 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.
