kuklorest

Hello, a year ago I had Kuklorest on my MacBook Pro and was able to remedy.  Tonight I used Chrome and put a pop up warning that I had Tapsnake.  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAME OVER ME, BUT I CLICKED IT!  I am so embarrassed.  In any case, I knew immediately that I had been stupid, then stop Chrome.  After reloading, my browser is now Kuklorest once again!

Can someone help me to make sure I'm not download something dangerous with the Tapsnake thing and also how do I get rid of the Kuklorest?

Thank you very much!

Kim

The warning of "tapsnake" is just a scam. If you click the "Search now" button or whatever it offered, he practiced animation meaningless to occur. No matter what he says it does, the animation is strictly nothing. For a moment or two that it ends with a warning just as fraudulent, that your Mac is infected with something, offering download and install something like his "healing".

Download and install what will cause real problems, leading eventually to an attempt to extort the money from you. It is his ultimate goal.

Install something would have required a voluntary action on your part did you do that?

  • I think that my Mac Pro is infected by evil ware. How to ask for help?

    Hello

    I think that my Mac Pro (early 2008) is infected by evil ware. (I deliberately used the Word 2 spelling to try to make a distinction between the entity unknown I think I and - maybe - we can download free software).  I'm not familiar with the various players 'bad', so I'll just refer to it as "my entity."  I think it's a virus that is sophisticated, because, among other things, I think it changes the use/application of Malwarebytes.  A brief description of why I say this.

    I had, before, downloaded and ran Malwarebytes.  I remember well, it's that Malwarebytes did not find any serious problem.  I also ran Sophos, and that he had found two threats, one of which dealt with Sophos.  Sorry, I don't remember their names.  But, as I'm sure you don't know that Sophos takes something like 8-12 hours to run, so I have not used even once, recently.  But, I have not called Malwarebytes on my file utilities.  When I clicked it, I got a window titled users. and that was Apple, comments and shared.  I decided to download Malwarebytes again (but without deleting the Malwarebytes I just described), thinking that the the Malwarebytes nine, well replace the bogus one.  Well, he didn't.  So I can't say that the download didn't happen, or happened, he was immediately converted to users.  So I have 'something' with the title "Malwarebytes Anti - Malware" which is actually the user.

    Another indication: when I want to search, I use Safari or Chrome.  But after I enter the article I'm looking for, I see (something like) kuklorist research of...    If I ask spotlight where is kuklorist?, there is no answer.  So, no matter what kuklorist is, it can hide very well.

    I noticed that the recovery Farbar scanning tool and Malwarebytes Chameleon are available for PC.  Is there something like them for Macs?

    I suspect that the screenshots would help in my descriptions, but I don't know how to make them. I also suspect that I am not to follow the correct procedures in the start of the case.   Could you tell me how to do these?
