I can't connect to certain things (connection refused error)

Hello

recently I am experiencing an error where my mac does not connect to certain things, to make an example and explain

-I can't open the web page of google

-I can't open another page Web (connection refused error)

-I can't open steam but downloads don't work and so used to the store

I had this problem once before, but a call for assistance from apple and everything worked again.

I would like to know what causes this problem and how to solve this problem, so I can't call assistance all the time

Thank you

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.

Step 1

VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

Step 2

When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. 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. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

Step 3

In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

com Apple.something.plist

When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

com Apple.builins.plist

com Apple.cereng.plist

com Apple.nysgar.plist

There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

com.something.plist

Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

com.semifasciaUpd.plist

com.ubuiling.plist

Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

Restart the computer and empty the trash.

Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

com Apple.aelwriter.plist

com Apple.SERVERD.plist

The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names match either of the above models. The last two are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these legitimate files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

Step 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

If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

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.

Step 5

The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

Step 6

This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

  • HP Easy tools - connection refused error

    Hi all

    can we use easy tools to upgrade the Os of our thin client versions. I did the following steps and

    1 downloaded the new WES2009 image for t5740 and it suited our needs

    2. I captured the image thinclinet (t5740, wes 2009) with HP EASY TOOLS to the FTP - successful (2 GB image file)

    3 deployed to an another computer thinclient (t5740, wes 2009 + has only HPDM, EASY TOOLS INSTALLED) with tools easy hp - success

    4. now, tried to install on thinclients (t5740, wes, 2003, no. HPDM AGENT & EASY TOOLS) & t5740 wes 2003 - FAILED

    Here is the log file...

    Send the file < filename.img > image

    Connection refused

    Couldn't something on ther service manual. Can someone tell me what service (hpdm officer or easy tools) should remote thinclients run so that we can deploy the image using HP EASY TOOLS.

    Could someone help me please I have to upgrade all of our WES 2003 thinclients to WES2009

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    If you want to deploy an image using Easy Tools, thin clients HP target must also have HP Easy Tools installed. If you deploy an image using HPDM then target clients must also have DM HP installed.

    You can get HP Easy Tools from here:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 12454 & prodSeriesId = 3996155 & prodNameId = 3996164 & swEnvOID = 4044 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = vc-104221-1

    Also have you tried HP ThinState? It uses the USB disk to the image of your thin clients.

  • WIndows 8; can't connect to certain websites and games on the internet

    So, here's the deal, I have windows 8 and use IE10. I play an online game called World of Tanks and until yesterday, there was no problem of this game. Now for some reason I can't connect to the game on the server, more site of World of Tanks is not connectable for me also.

    Basic troubleshooting I've done so far;

    I downloaded Google Chrome and tried the site via the browser, no solution.

    I ran the diagnostic Windows programs, they regularly report that the site is online, but I can't connect.

    I can easily access both game and website via my sister's computer, so it's not the fault of game websites.

    I used a removal tool to rid my computer of McAfee, there is nothing.

    I have temporarily disabled firewall programs Windows, still no change.

    Sometimes, the game works fine, but usually it is unable to connect.

    I restored IE10 default settings and deleted all history, etc.

    I rebooted the computer, I rebooted my router.

    I don't understand why two different browsers would not connect to a site that I can easily access other computers/devices on the same router. I don't understand why sometimes I can connect to the game and other times I can't.

    I would also like to mention it as a local issue, I can chat with 'friends' who are also playing the game, and they report no these failures/challenges.

    Thanks for any help.

    I have the same issue, but with several different sites on WIN8/IE10... I couldn't access the site of Ebay in a few days, if I can access hundreds of other sites very well.

    However, I don't think that this problem is related to IE 10 specifically, I can't access those sites when you use Chrome or Firefox.   I recently bought three new laptops with WIN8 and having exactly the same problem on all three machines. Can still access those sites very well on any of our old machines running XP or WIN7... same corporate network.  Confirmed that sites are online and working very well; connection is good; router is fine.  The only common denominator is that WIN8 blocking some sites... I can't figure out how.  BTW, I was able to access the site worldftanks very well.  I know this topic question addressing "issues of game", but I suspect that the cause may be the same as what tommay11 knew.  I was curious to know if he has a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  • Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my ID stolen FB and I can't connect with a living soul!

    Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my FB ID stolen and I can't connect with a living soul! I'm really tired of FACEBOOK and ZUCKERBERG, boasts getting its 1 billionth Member, meanwhile, its members have problems with scams, hackers, even FACEBOOK is now BANNING people for the addition of family and friends! This must be a scam any seriously! Im sick of him, he turned my whole as for social networks. If it wasn't for the fact that I have almost all of my family in Europe and around the world all in one place, I would certainly remove my account. The problem with that is if you delete your FACEBOOK PROFILE, you don't actually remove them. FB keeps them because they are the property of Facebook the minute climb you the post! This information is in the conditions of joining Facebook, but not on the registration page! that is wrong with this picture. THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, IT IS Y HAS NO PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL TO REPORT YOUR STOLEN ID AND NOW I HAVE TO ALL RUN IT AROUND TO TRY TO FIND A CYBER CRIME UNIT WHO WILL HELP ME! How can the other thing, I know if Mytechgurus.com is a legitimate business. As I've been hacked and my ID stolen (curiously enough all what's happened just as I was banned from Facebook to add a friend, I've not seen in 36 years.) They have deleted my friendship with her and banned me for 7 days)! Facebook. MyTechGurus.com have charged me $700.00 for 2 pc for serivce of 24/7 for 2 years. Granted they have always been there in the last 6 weeks to help with all the problems that the pirate had created. They've phoned while I had a technician remote access online help with verbal information as it was a huge problem. but I put it back now because a governing body here in Australia called SCAM WATCH who is supposed to tell you who is a scam and is not was good enough to tell me that they are there only to report a scam, they can not physically tell you if one of them is actually a scam or not! I was left to literally chasing my own tail! HE IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME AT ALL!

  • Why can't connect me to my network to work, but I can connect to my home netwrok

    A few weeks ago, I went into labor, connected to the network.  After doing other work, I went back to my computer typed a document and press only to notice that I was no longer on the network.  There was no interruption in power, the computer does not cut: he was sitting on my desk.  At this time there, the network wouldn't let me turn it on again.  I would get a message saying: he can't connect because it timed out or due to the action of the user.  I rent a space in a small office - there is no information TECHNOLOGY staff.  The landlord had someone and have reconnected.  I could connect the next time I was in the office with no problems.  A week after I got back on the same thing happened, and even once I can't always on.  There is someone else coming into the office during this period (I'm with a patient when she arrives so it is in the same time of 30 minutes each week, the same day) and I wonder if when she connects could it be me?  The other day I work, I'm the only one in the office, and when this was corrected at the first time that I could get that day without incident. No one else has this problem-, but they're working on the time where that other person is not in or it's already here and connected when they arrive.  What can I do for this fis.  From now on, they tell me this is my problem and that it must be my computer but I can't connect to my home network without problem.  I am getting very frustrated because I need to go to print documents or really work on something outside to see my patients.  What could be the problem?  I think the last time that he has been fixed, they reset the router, but they won't touch me any equipment.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. how many users is configured on the computer?

    2 are logged as administrator?

    3 have you logged on a domain?

    4 is it a cable or a wireless connection?

    5. you have any antivirus installed on the computer program?

    6. are you aware of any recent software or hardware on the computer changes?

    You can disable temporary, your security software and check.

    How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    You can also try the steps and check if it helps. (You must be logged on as administrator to run the steps)

    a. Click Start.

    b. click on run

    c. type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.

    d. type the following commands, and press ENTER.

    ipconfig/flushdns

    ipconfig/registerdns

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig / renew

    You can also see the article , if you are using a wireless connection.

    Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need help in the future about Windows. We will be happy to help you.
