  • Recommended download to install adware cleaner mac

    Mac community,

    I received a warning a few weeks there is an incursion in my computer and I got a warning from Mac to call x number immediately.  I called them and they themselves are identified as Apple support.  The company was called Zcon Systems LLC.  They solved the problem I think it was the defender of the Mac.  Somehow, he invaded my computer and turned off my firewall.  ZCon stopped the incursion.  Since I had a game show down I don't charge, they took, now I'm getting Mac Adware cleaner to appear on the rise.  They took yesterday.  Now it came again.

    My question - that they are a viable group?  I did some research online and they seem ok.

    Thanks for your comments

    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.

    N ° any message in a web browser saying that a Mac OS X system has a virus or other software malware is a scam; some sites Web legitimately analyzes the files uploaded to them, but is unable to scan the entire system.

    Even on Windows, unless you manually ran a scan of malware in your web browser, the same applies.

      Re: mac adware cleaner in reply to Tarananda 

    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.

    would be to learn more about these types of problems to avoid later;

    and avoidance is part of the longer term plan, a path to healing. Attention navigation

    as well as to limit where one chooses to try to get software downloads or

    Hello, Edith,.

    There are a number of things to try. First try this free software: download, install, and run the cleaning for the browser Avast from here: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Browser-Cleanup/3000-2144_4-75872295.html .

    Who should take care of the pop-up ads. Now for what is already downloaded on your system, try these freeware antimalware scanners:

    Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    Super AntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

    Then I would run a scan in depth with your antivirus scanner. Don't have one? I use and recommend Avast for free: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Let me know if this solve the problem for you.
