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

Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

com.something .net - preferences.plist

This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

com.jangly .net - preferences.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

com Tether.plist

The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three 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 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.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    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 additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

    Is there a way to permanently fix this problem happened to me many times.

    You can try to connect to a computer running iTunes and backup your iPad Pro, then disconect the iPad from your computer and iPad, make a clear ALL content and you restore the iPad Pro like new iPad.

  • Opening 3.6 will not install on the App Store

    I have Aperture 3.4.5 installed on my iMac.  I recently updated my OS from the Lion to El Capitan.  Now opening will not run and the App Store says a 3.6 update is available.  When I try to update for the opening of the App Store, it prompt you first connect with my Apple ID.

    After signing in, I get a dialog box indicating "Update not available with this Apple ID" "this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled."

    I bought the physical support for Aperture and could keep it always current by using the software update.  So I'm at a loss on how to proceed from here.  Furthermore, I have exactly the same problem with iPhoto.  Suggestions other that lugging my iMac in an Apple Store for help?

    I bought the physical support for Aperture and could keep it always current by using the software update.

    Only opening 3.6 is fully compatible with El Capitan.  But this update is available for versions of opening that are associated with your AppleID on the App Store.

    For a limited time (wth the liberation of the Mavericks and opening 3.5.1) was it possible to upgrade your Aperture the retail box version to the version of the AppStore. But this window of opportunity no longer exists because Apple stopped selling opening from the AppStore. Now software update is no longer works.

    You can reinstall opening and update this way to version 3.6, if your version of Aperture is displayed in the history of the purchases on the App Store.  Opening appears in the fourth tab - shopping?  If this isn't the case, you can only update with the help of Apple Support. Apple support needs a code of redemption for you, so that you can install the update.

    Use the link 'Contact us' on the home page of the AppStore in the 'Quick links' section

    See this tip for users: update to Aperture 3.6 after the release of Photos

  • I need to access sites that require adobe flash player on the iPad.  What can I use to allow me to access?

    I need to access sites that require adobe flash player on the iPad.  I can access these sites on my imac with adobe flash player then why not on my ipad.

    What can I use to allow me access to these sites, which are for educational purposes for my grandson to allow him to do his homework?

    While you can get Adobe Flash on the iMac, you can't be on the iPad. There are some browsers in the App Store that will emulate flash, I think that one of them is atomic, or something like that. Do a search on the App Store and you should find something.

  • I use firefox as my home page. It says im not up to date. If I click on the help icon it says that I am up to date. Tried to uninstall and download again but still the same thing. Help would be appreciated

    I use firefox as my home page. On a regular basis, it tells me im not not using the latest version. When I click on the help icon it says im update. Sometimes a large orange icon appears to the left of the part that says im not not using the latest version. Have uninstalled and downloaded again but still the same.
    Help would be appreciated

    Firefox is a web browser, not a homepage.

    Looks like you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page to be the default home page in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not maintained by Google more so either ignore the message or while in Firefox, go to tools-> Options-> general-> home page section and change your home page.

  • For 2 days were not able to access the App Store and regular a few adds on my iPad, but can be downloaded on my iPhone. I have reset the router, iPads, etc... No change. Help, please

    I can't access AppStore and some other operations ordinary adds on my iPad. Have reset and all routers. All updates current. I can do on iPhone. Is it me or Apple or what? Help, please

    Hello there jacquelinefrombburg,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It is a great place to get help with connection problems to the App Store and access other applications on your iPad. I know that there are some applications that I rely on every day, so I'll do my utmost to help find a solution.

    As point of departure, we will you force him to close all open applications on your iPad. Once you've done that, go ahead and reboot your iPad. Once it is up and running, test on the App Store to see if you are able to access. Here are some useful resources to guide you through the process described above:

    Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If you still have questions, see the steps in this article. Even though the title says iTunes Store, the recommendations would still apply to the App Store.

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store

    As a step in isolation, it would be wise to check if you have problems with the App Store and other applications while using a Wi - Fi connection and cell phone. If the problem persists with the two types of connection, try resetting the network settings on your iPad. Please note that you erase all the stored passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings. After you restart your iPad, test the apps again.

    Take care!

  • I managed to fix an erronious in my new Windows 8 account e-mail address, but the app store, still has the old address and will not serve an order

  • Can I download an application on both the app store and google play? and if yes how can I do?

    Hello, I have two questions: can I download an application on both the app store and google play? and if yes how can I do?

    I have yet to start working on the apps, but currently, I bought a book called "Android programming: the Big Nerd Ranch Guide" to help me create an app and the IDE used on this book is the Android SDK.  And I was wondering if I could download an app on the google game store and the app store using the Android SDK and not Xcode.

    Xcode is 'official' Apple development environment as Android Studio is the Android development environment.  Applications for Apple devices are usually written in Swift or Objective-C, while those for Android are written in Java.  Both also use different APIs and execution environments, and even if they do pretty much the same things, they are quite different in the way they carry out their.

    It is possible to use a common language and an IDE to build native applications (RubyMotion and Novell are some examples), but separate applications must be built to different platforms in order to use the appropriate GUI environments.  You can also wrap web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (App Inventor and PhoneGap are some examples), but these do not normally use the native API and tend to be lower than native applications.

  • Windows Store apps does not open and the app Store just hangs

    Before going back to my University all my apps worked very well. But when I'm back and rebooted my laptop, they don't work anymore. The apps Store open at all, and when I open the app Store itself, just displays the splash page and returns to the start screen (some have had this problem, too).  I tried all the methods suggested here on the forums (convenience store app, refresh my PC (twice), msconfig, wsreset.exe, sfc/scannow, etc), but none of them have worked.  I've even updated the operating system does not work today (known as Patch Tuesday) but as always. Did someone solved this problem? Any help is appreciated.

    My app Store kept crashing (get out before even showing animation "loading") after I updated to Windows 8. 1. after having tried all of new updates of the Bank reset (returned an error of remote procedure call), I found this fix that worked:

    Re-register the app Store by running a command window and typing:
    PowerShell - ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage - registry DisableDevelopmentMode-$Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
    I hope this helps others in this situation.
