malicious adware on the computer

• Having difficulty to remove the adware from my computer

  Yesterday I ran a search in google for winzip password recovery which led me to a website called . www zippasswordrecovery.com /. I have AVG Anti-Virus installed on my computer, so I thought that I was safe to download the file. However, once downloaded AVG detected a threat, so I put in quarantine. Apparently it installed on my computer, and of course annoying adware ads popped up whenever I went through Internet. I went to add or remove programs and found (file name is FREEzeFlip), and every time I try to remove it, my antivirus detects a threat and quarantines, preventing me to spend with the removal process. I did a scan with AVG which found nothing, then installed Malware Bytes, which found 6 threats which were all adware and supposed to be deleted successfully. I restarted my computer, browsed the web, and every time I visit a Web site, Malware Bytes gives the message "successfully blocked access to a potentially dangerous website 64.94.137.96 type: outgoing," I guess that's blocking a pop-up every time ad that appears. I went to add or remove programs and Malware Bytes gave essentially the same message as AVG and quarantine. I googled 'remove FREEzeFlip' and found this Web page with technical support information to remove the FREEzeFlip from the computer: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:yvW4QAnD1fYJ:freezeflip.com/support.html+remove+FREEzeFlip&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source= www.google.com (click on text version if it does not load). It is very obvious that it is intentionally malicious because it says "If you continue to see the elements of the FreezeFlip program on your computer after following the steps in uninstalling above, your antivirus software blocks maybe uninstall completely." and that it proceeds then to tell you can uninstall your antivirus software, visit a link to download an uninstall program and restart your computer. LOL... these idiots...

  Thank you in advance for your help! Sorry for the long story, but I didn't leave out the small details that may be important.

• Malicious adware/software has infected Chrome and Safari

  My exactly the same problem was discussed in another thread, but unfortunately the solutions did not work for me, so I'll try again.

  I'll try to be as detailed as possible, so I'll drop my question into several categories:

  My system

  • MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)
  • Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
  • Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
  • Storage: 249,77 GB
  • Operating system: OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.4

  The problem

  • Calendar: This problem has persisted for fifteen hours; I he didn't notice last night so I think it happened this morning, but I'm not sure if I'm being generous with the timing at 100%.
  • Chrome and Safari (both browsers I installed), some kind of malware is the insertion of hypertext links on specific words that link to the ads. Each unique ad is related to the s.igmhb.comurl. The words a hyperlink become all-cap, bold and italic with a green arrow at the upper right of each word in a hyperlink. Curiously, it doesn't seem to affect all Web pages, only a small number. It does not seem to be all rhyme or reason as to which sites it affects.
  • I have not installed or downloaded anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, so I have no idea where it comes from.

  

  
  

  What I've done so now

  • I immediately checked for any suspicious Chrome extensions because it is generally what is the problem, but cannot find anything. Then I went to Safari to see if it has also been hit, which is. This means that it is probably something that is in my system, not only in a browser.
  • I then ran a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and it found a number of things. Quickly, I deleted the and restarted my computer. Unfortunately, the problem is still persistent. This is where I am really myself, because kicking that I should write the names of what found Malwarebytes. I just assumed it would well after I deleted the offending files. I tried to run several other analyses Malwarebytes, but they all appear negative. I know from experience that there is probably some hidden files in my system, but as I said I don't know what to look for.
  • I googled "s.igmhb.com" to see if other people have the same problem, and he's a little suspect. Best results are less than 48 hours, and they are all websites, advertising an anti-virus software. Many of them recommend same installation MacKeeper, I know is a big no-no. So yes, pretty suspicious if you ask me.

  That's all I can think of right now; I hope that's enough for someone to help me. This type of adware are seem to be very new, so I've not had much luck finding solutions.

  You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

  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.

  Save all data first.

  Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

  If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

  If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

  If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

  This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

  Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

  If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

  Step 1

  Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  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 press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

  If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

  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. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

  Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

  Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

  Leave the case open for now.

  Step 2

  Do as in step 1 with this line:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

  Step 3

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

  Step 4

  Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

  Step 5

  If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

• Homepage changed when the computer is restarted.

  Recently, I had downloaded adware on my computer. I then ran immediately all my virus protection software that has eliminated many of them. Somehow, it always seemed to linger. She had been spotted by one of my anti-virus software, but when he tried to remove it, it kept reappearing. Although it only happens when I restart my computer, it always brings me to a Russian site. I could not decipher what the add-on was either since it is in Russia as well. I tried to reset the settings of my FireFox, but it does not seem to remove it. It is very disturbing to me and I would be happy if there is a solution to this. If we need more information, ask. All help is accepted!

  of course, you are very welcome - good luck!

• The best words can't be removed permanently. He must have installed a hidden file that creates the add on every time the computer is started.

  I inadvertently allowed the best words to add to install for Firefox. It's annoying adds and sometimes links to malware. It can be disabled or removed from a session and become non-functional after you restart Firefox, but whenever the computer is started, it reappears. I guess it must be a file hidden somewhere that re - installs the add-in on each time the computer is started. Does anyone know how to permanently delete it?

• Cannot download the updates on the computer

  Original title: how to get updates on windows 7, mine does not update

  mine shows all the update failed, always looking for new updates, but the computer never downloads none

  Hi bonnie563,

  What antivirus or firewall is installed on the computer?

  Follow these steps to solve the problem.

  Method 1: Solving problems run Windows Update

  Windows 7 comes with a built-in utility to update problems. Run it and see what has to say. He makes sure your computer is connected to the Internet and checks to see if your network card and Windows Update services are running properly.

  Open the Windows Update troubleshooting tool

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Update-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: Temporarily disable the firewall or a third-party antivirus software

  If you have any third-party firewall/antivirus, disable all and just keep the built-in firewall of Windows when downloading updates. See if this allows you to perform the download.

  Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this solution to workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion solution. Use this workaround at your own risk.

  To disable the third-party firewall, see the documentation provided with the program or contact the program vendor.

  Method 3: Turn off Accelerator software

  Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.

  Method 4: Journal see Windows Update

  By default, the Windows Update client records all transaction information in the following log file:

  %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log
   
  If the methods above does not resolve the issue, view the log file for more investigations.
   
  For help on the log file, see: How to read the Windowsupdate.log file

  Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.
