• Mac advertising software cleaner pop up?

  I get a pop for a recommended download. The pop-up is recommended, I download "Mac clean Adware" and I don't know if it is a legitimate source, or to ignore it. So far, I ignored it, but he continues to appear. If it's something I should be avoiding, any advice on how to stop the pop up?

  Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

  May have installed a fake 'utility' called 'Mac advanced cleaner.' Like any software that aims to 'clean up' or to 'speed up' a Mac automatically, it's a scam, and some variants of it are ad-injecting malware.

  To remove it, please take the following steps. Some of the files listed may be absent in your case. Back up all data before proceeding.

  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.

  If you paid for the software with a credit card, consider the load statement to the Bank as fraudulent.

  Step 1

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* can open a folder that is named "LaunchAgents. If so, take a look inside it for files whose name begins in one of these ways:

  com PCV.

  com WebShoppy

  Place such a file in the Recycle Bin.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. 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.

  Step 2

  Open this folder as in step 1:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  Inside, there may be one or more files with name starting in

  com WebTools

  If so, move these files and only those who, in the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Do not remove the LaunchAgents folder or anything else inside.

  Log off or restart the computer.

  Step 3

  Open the Applications folder and move an item named "Advanced Mac Cleaner" (if it exists) to the trash. Also remove all items with a name like "Shoppy" or "WebShoppy." Empty the trash.

  Step 4

  Tab Extensions of Safari preferences window, uninstall an extension named "XSearch" if it is present. Also delete other extensions that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them. None is required for normal operation. You may need to do the equivalent with Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use one of the people.

  Step 5

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you don't reinstall it. This step is optional.

  Remove the following, if they exist, as in step 1:

  /Library/Application Support/amc

  ~/Library/AdvancedMacCleaner

  ~/Library/Application Support/WebTools

  There is no need to log out or restart after this step.

  The problem may have started when you have something, like the application "FileZilla", downloaded from the 'Sourceforge' site or some other Internet cesspit. Never to visit this site again. All software must be downloaded on the Web site or on the Mac App Store, as appropriate.

  Mac software advertising cleaner made by people who make advanced Mac Cleaner, which is an unwanted application that is often distributed with adware. (Hmm, ironic, huh... they sneak with adware and then show you the pop - ups to help you get rid of the adware they rode in with.) The pop-up you see is caused by the Advanced Mac Cleaner, which probably means that you also have another type of adware on your system.

  Suggestion of Allan will help you remove Advanced Mac Cleaner and some adware was installed alongside it.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  Your Mac does not 'clean up' and you must avoid software who claim that like the plague. Much of this software does more harm than good, and some of them are aggressive in pushing the upgrades and difficult to remove. Your Mac is quite able to keep clean, and if you have too many movies, audio files or photos you can remove them yourself.

• No software - is it hardware - several issues on Mac with clean installation

  Hello.

  Apple has me wipe my hard drive because of metadata does not not like expecited in the Finder (I had open and update my library of Photos but Finder would say just 'open' at boot time).  Thus Apple loading El Cap servers and we hand placed my retrospective data and ny photo library has been downloaded icloud.

  Since:

  1. FInder problems persist. (See above)
  2. Could not "download and update" my iPad or iPhone via iTunes. He won on the download and expired - I've got close to 100 great download speeds and no security software installation. I had to download and update in two steps, download, then update. Then the update ruined my almost brand new iPad. (Has been replaced by Apple). No device has ever given me the 'slide to upgrade"or"enter code"screen after the update.
  3. photos sometimes lacks a photo import photo stream. He appears in all the photos but not Moments without having to relaunch the Photos.
  4. When a new machine of time backwards, once completed, he wouldn't eject the device. After that I disconnected, restarted, I finally had to stop to remove the external hard drive.
  5. Once at the start of my Mac, I could not connect.  No cursor and no place to type. The screen has not loaded correctly. Had to restart.
  6. during transfer purchases from my phone, I had - 54 error "could not write to the disk. Restart solves it.
  7. While that screen share my USB ports with Apple sometimes seems to work. Sometimes not. This session is when the iPad stopped recognized all together. Even at apple.
  8. About this Mac shows the use of the total disc OK but never returns corrrectlY without indexing re. Before the wipe and after.

  AAll it within four weeks of a hard drive reformatted and clean installed OS and photo library new brand created from a download of iCloud.

  THUS, the OS is new. What is the problem with my Mac? Almost every time I use a weird error happens. Apple and before erasing Mac passed their tests of material.  I won't possibly be this unfortunate.

  I am at a loss for what to do. The Mac was bought in 2014 and is under warranty but I can't Apple to see the collective problems.

  Can someone enlighten me as to what he should ask Apple to do next? My Mac is mid-2012 and my fellow Mac users are surprised at this.

  Thank you all.

  If your mac is still under warranty and you already took a holding of certified repair mac (for example an Apple store) contact Apple and demand that they replace the system as he has already been addressed by Apple in the way they considered to be correct but their 'dose' has not rectified the situation in the slightest.

• Sierra / Mac Adware Cleaner

  Since I've upgraded to the new OSX on my iMac, what an advertising program keeps popping up whenever I log on my computer. I tried to remove it, but it always comes back.

  It is very inconvenient for my mac was going well until I upgraded. What is c? And once I left the application a pop-up ad appears in the right corner.

  How can I get rid of these?

  

  That Mac has been affected by "CleanMyMac" that must be removed. Remove it, then follow the applicable recovery procedure below.

  'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

  • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
    • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
    • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
    • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
    • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
    • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

  To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

  • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

  • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

  com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
  • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
  • Click on the [-] (button less).
  • Restart your Mac.

  Beware that reinstall OS X has no effect on deletion CleanMyMac or reverse the damage, it is able to inflict on a system. To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X software, you need and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

  • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. To boot OS X RecoveryTime Machine in Mac OS X utility screen, select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.
  • If you don't have a backup previous use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do this read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
    • The recovery procedure require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user account whose content will be empty. You can then use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents, including photos, music, products of work and other essential files.
    • To erase and install OS X read How to reinstall OS X on your Mac.
      • Follow step 2 to completely erase the internal memory of the CMA: disk utility (El Capitan): delete a volume.
      • Then follow the procedure to move your content to a new Mac.
      • When asked how you want to transfer your data, select transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or boot disk.
      • Under Select the information to transfer, select only your old user account and do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or 'other files and folders. Deselect these choices.
    • After using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software that you might need, once more without forgetting to install the software from their original sources and by omitting all non-essential software.
    • "Non-essential software" is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to the products 'antivirus' third party 'cleaning' and 'maintenance '.
