Safari has been hijacked by ads (javascript)

Safari has been hijacked by the ads. I rooted out launch launch demons, agents, deleted all the data of the Web site, additional extensions (adblock, clicktoflash, trafficlight) and the problem persists. The only thing that stops it is disable javascript, but it returns if I activate again. The words that should be plain html are converted into links Hypertext/rollover and they ALWAYS display an ad of "Top case" no matter where I click on the screen, they open an ad. I called Applesupport, and their only solution was to leave Javascript disabled or communicate with Java. But Java only pay support. Someone at - it suggestions? I'm at my wits end here.

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.

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

  • The new tab button has been hijacking

    I've updated Auslogics Registry Cleaner. Companion Web of Lavasoft has been automatically downloaded and installed on my computer. He seems to have changed Firefox: whenever I try to open a new tab, the search engine Bing opens automatically in the new tab. I was able to stop this behavior by removing the choice of search engine Bing. Now my home page opens automatically in the new tab when I click on the + to open a new tab.

    I was not able to delete the Web Companion of my computer: their uninstall program that crashes!

    How can I correct the problem in Firefox with the new tab?

    Thank you.

  • My default search has been hijacked by Wikipedia?

    My default search from the address bar has been hacked by Wikipedia somehow. Yes I know. Of all things, this diversion orders my research on Wikipedia. Only sometimes, however, not all searches are sent there, and I don't know why. I would expect ask.com maybe, but wikipedia. No lies.

    I tried to start in safe mode, and I ran malwarebytes several times. I managed to get rid of all my addons and nothings changed. Uninstall and reinstall firefox, delete the appdata files, nothing works. I try even a portable version of firefox, and after a few moments, I turned away again. I am at a loss.

    Y at - it known malicious software that would redirect to Wikipedia research? Must what steps I take to solve this problem? Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    Starting from Firefox 23 keyword. URL pref is no longer supported and is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar like that.
    The search engine that is used in the address bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar in the Navigation toolbar.

  • Chromebook home page has been hijacked by Yahoo

    I am new to the ACER community, my name is John, Hi, I need your help with the opening page of the browser of my Chromebooks.

    I have 2 x Chromebooks, an ACER C720 Chromebook and Chromebook ACER 13.

    When opening the homepage of the beginning I get redirected to the Yahoo UK web page. The address of the page appears as https://uk.yahoo.com/?fr=hp-avast&type=avastbcl

    The? en = type & type = avastbcl is grayed out.

    The second tab takes me to my favorite browser Google. I tried all types of forums and web pages for advice on the implementation of Google as my opening page.

    I deleted Yahoo settings via the search engines to manage and checked the home button see the box and chose Google.

    Before I bought the second Chromebook (ACER Chromebook 13) I got an ACER Chromebook C720 and a laptop with Windows 7, in which I installed Avast software, the laptop computer has become unstable and would not connect to internet. I decided to abandon Windows and bought a different ACER Chromebook, this time was 13.

    As well as the Yahoo page I find internet of connection with the Chromebook 2 problems and get messages indicating the opening web page is not available and check my internet connection.

    I installed a new version of Windows and now I can't open a file.

    This problem may occur because some of your user account information has changed, even though your user name and password have not changed. You may be able to solve the problem by taking possession of the record.

    To take ownership of a folder

    1. Right click on the folder that you want to take control and then click Properties.

    2. Click the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

    3. Click on change.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    4. Click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

    5. If you want that person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.

    6. Click OK.

    What help does not say, it is after taking possession, that you actually need to give yourself permissions to access the files. Use the permissions , rather than the owner above tab tab.
