Remove the adware safari (offerz4u/eshopcom)
I tried all the methods listed or suggested here (malwarebytes even) and it keeps appearing.
I also tried to create another user and when I open safari it has not shown, if it is limited to a single user.
I then 2 questions:
1 - How can I finally really remove this malware after trying suggestions (carefully executed)-> additional suggestions (especially specific to the installation of safari user)
2. - If, as apparently is the case, I can't really remove this malware, how do I copy my stuff from 1 user to another (without the malware along)

How to remove the adware on my imac (I use firefox not safari)
For work, I downloaded filezilla and now I get pop ups advanced cleaner mac or mac advanced (?) cleaner. Please help me remove these annoying pop-ups. (By the way, I tried to follow the instructions presented by Linc Davis in the post by Supermom 66 December 30 / 15 but I can't seem to get anywhere, when I received instruction of 'triple click anywhere in the line below on this page to select the option' - so I triple click on ~/Library/LaunchAgents and it becomes highlighted and then what?) I right click and there is no service > option open so I'm perplexed right from the appointment. Am I supposed to copy and paste it somewhere?)

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.

There are a lot of things going on in my computer right now, worries me to death, one is called an adware: win32/open candy I guess than the virus. And it is a small thing, but still worry thaat essentials of microsoft has removed only one of them. I also ran the microsoft Scanner and it has not picked up and was not deleted. And I want to change my password to something a little more decent right now. I try to start over all of mine from scratch, because I learned from microsoft a lot what they taught me. But I need a clean start. I need to do something of everything again. I don't want anyone to know who I'm not. I'm afraid that now. I would like to make a few settings that I feel I have to now change hotmail.com and facebook.com and with yahoo.com as well. But I have to be able to do this. I realize that this will be an alias. But considering what I had to go through last month, and even now, I think it would be much better for me.
This thread covers OpenCandy (a matter of gravity low adware) pick-up with MSE:
What is your MSE settings > action for low alert threat level defined as default? Try to set quarantine if it is not already configured on that and don't forget to save the changes. Also, remember that you can seek assistance from MSE free via the web, by email or by phone if necessary.

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.

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.

Cannot remove the software malicious search.oliver.to
My apologies if I submitted this question to the wrong category. I could not understand any other category appropriate to classify under.
I have malware on my MacBookAir (which is running El Capitan).
Whenever I open the Chrome, it goes to search.oliver.to as the default home page (see screenshot)
Now, I have read other threads on the same exact topic and followed the instructions, but they did not work for me.
In my preferences of Chrome, search.oliver.to is not set as the home page.
In my library > folder Agents run, there are No files associated with search.oliver.to
The only other suggestion I could find was to download Malwarebytes, but I hesitate to do that, because I have read conflicting advice, saying to avoid all the so-called anti-malware software.
What can I do else here?

If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
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.

How to safely use MacUpdate to download malicious software free software:
This site has both free and paid members accounts. If you don't have then some software will be distributed in a wrapper for an installation that includes adware/malware, you can not. Such a download may appear on your computer as follows: Firefox installer.dmg. Remove the download and return to the main site where you will find a direct link to the Web site. Use this link to download the software.
To avoid these downloads to MU simply create a free membership account. Sign in to your account before using the site. You can avoid the wrappers of the installer and download of adware or malware. I continue to use their site without any problems.
If you prefer not to create a membership account and note that on the download page under the price area will be the link to the developer site. Use this link and download the software directly from the developer work around the use of MU altogether.
Contacting warnings from users of sone that notifies you that the site is "dangerous." This is an exaggeration. Know the facts. You simply use the site intelligently. Support the site, but do it wisely - establish a free subscription or paying to avoid problems with malware. Don't pay attention to other users who you warn away with hyperbole.
