Malware blocking safe mode/updates / filevault

Hi, I ran into an annoying malware that seems to be the "Iworm" malware that was happening in recent years.

Problem is, it seems to be more advanced.

The malware blocked me to perform updates get queued vault OFF so that I can switch to secure mode (also tried via the terminal entering safe mode, but it prevents me to enter my password) and if it leaves an antivirus running it not to revert to what either. I searched my library folder and discovered I had the JavaW folder in Application Support. But there is no files in the folder JavaW there is empty (apparently). I also looked through the LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folders and saw nothing about JavaW in them. In addition to this when turned on the computer, it made connect me twice and made for some time. But yesterday, I changed my password and the first time he asks me to log in I can only connect using my old password - and then the second password is updated? Im not sure whats going on with it, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, it does not recognize the USB devices connected, so I can't back up my files or run your antivirus software from a USB. Oh and he blocked me to change the keyboard backlight and has locked volume turned off as well.

I can generally understand such things, but I have spent nearly 24 hours of research directly, but came up empty. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Please find attached my system specs.

IOS 10.11

MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013)

1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor

DDR3 4 GB 1600 MHz memory
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

If it is redirected to the weird site: opened in light by pressing command - type terminal - space in this window type a command: cat/etc/hosts press enter - reboot of the apple logo - in the trash a file or an icon of the dollar will be there - emptying the trash. Open safari - his party.

How to remove malware, popup, rootkits, botnets, keystrokes recorder, virus (very rare in mac computers: .exe, .db. txt files). Download www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac from this site. It will be downloaded in download drag and drop folder in the application folder, and then delete file .dmg to trash as it occupies the space in the hard drive.

then don't open it launched it's 3rd party application (unidentified app). go to the finder - applications - right click on malware bytes - open then scan. It will remove any kind of malware.

If still in doubt, navigate to the root user a/c scan malware bytes if flying over malware is there he will come out of the system.

then it is not recommended to use the root user account, so it's better disconnect from the root user account, there are manual methods also remove the malware.

  • Restore SR5110nx infected by the malware in safe mode

    People... I have a Presario SR5110NX who has been infected with the garbage of privacy - CENTER.ORG.  The best way to get rid of it seems to be simply take out the hard drive.

    Unfortunately, the malware completely seized the machine.  It loads automatically when starting Vista, then when you try to shut it down, the machine hangs with a blue screen.

    System Restore IS NOT the way to remove malware. The reason why you do not see the effects of the malware in safe mode is probably due to the fact that the process for most malware does not load in safe mode, and therefore not active.

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode with network. Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a full scan.  Choose to quarantine found nothing. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Run a full scan quarantined found anything yet. Restart your computer in normal mode and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.

  • Firefox worked FINE yesterday and it auto-updated and now whenever I load the Web site, it crashes immediately, even in safe mode. Help please?

    I tried the following-

    removed the malwarebytes program due to work for someone else

    Chrome works very well. Everything else is fine. Firefox had no problem until it auto update last night. I can't submit a crash report because every time he asks me I say Yes and then he tells me 'problem presentation report '.

    This looks like a problem with the NVIDIA Network Access Manager.

    Firefox crashes on opening a few seconds. That started everything suddenly a few weeks ago, and despite several attempts to every day, I still cannot load firefox application. It crashes immediately on startup every time anything and journalist accident happens. I studied all the articles and followed their suggestions. I installed the latest version of firefox and still get the same results. I can't even open firefox in safe mode.

    Heather, not sure I can help, I'm not a Mac user, but I'll have a look at the crashIDs that you provided.

    Update:

    There are very few reports recent crash with this signature, they could even be your plant. If you follow the suggestions in the article I linked above there is not much that can be done easily. You should try discount the possibility that the cause is malware by scanning with several updated tools.

    Malware controls
    Have you seen and followed the advice

    Clean reinstall it
    If you find no malware, it can be interesting to try a new re - install and a clean profile, none of them are simple and must be done with care, so first try malware scans, those who will take a while to sort.

  • Update manual Windows in safe mode?

    Hi all

    I managed to majorly screw up my computer while trying to fix it.

    I'm here now via SafeMode w/network.  I'm working on another site that has been very helpful in the past with a tech. So I think we have finally got rid of a nasty virus, we also got rid of some important issues due to remove it manually since the combofix program would not work.

    Rather than try any on, I'll post a link to my thread of origin on the other site, because it has ALL the details.  I hope that's not a violation of the terms here.

    I thought maybe I could update windows and fix but since windows update does not load in safe mode, I thought that I could download and update manually. But I have no idea what updates should I download to do this, even if I knew where to find them.

    Thanks in advance

    You said that you could get in safe mode. From there, you should be able to locate your download and if all goes well to copy it for flash etc and save all the other files that you can. Remember, however, that whatever the bad guy did the damage could also affect your files that you want to save.

    Another option is to contact manufactuer Poser 8 to get another copy. You will have to pay extra for it, but at least it can be an option.

    Good luck.

  • After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

    Hi if anyone can help.

    A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

    Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

    So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

    I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

    I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

    I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

    If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

    All suggestions welcome.

    Thanks, Ciaran

    How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

    I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

  • Update 40.0.2 is slow, hangs a lot, even in safe mode.

    So, I tried several things in the troubleshooting here in support articles, but none solved my problems.

    Basically, after that automatically put Firefox updated to 40.0.2, the browser crashes a lot on the opening and closing of tabs, loading Web sites as well. When idle, the CPU/RAM usage is normal, but opening or closing of tabs uses a lot of CPU (most of the time, 100% of the CPU is used in navigation) and it crashes every time. Scroll to the bottom of pages also allows the browser to hang. I tried to deactivate several plugins and extensions and I even tried to use the safe mode, but even in safe mode, it happens constantly. I'll post the specs of my computer (no), but don't forget that those issues didn't happen before the update.

    4 GB OF RAM
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

    Please, what is anyone has found problems with this new update? What should I do? I use Firefox since 2007 and I love it, I wouldn't move to another.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    I'm one of those typical Thunderbird update notice yesterday, asking if I want to install this update now, or something like that. He concludes by saying: Thunderbird needs to restart and I wanted to restart now. I said yes, and Thunderbird has not opened since. It won't open unless I press 'shift' for the safe mode - and even in this case, only after, I go to the Windows Task Manager (Vista) / processes, and at the end a process with the name "Thunderbird" if necessary.
