The malware removal
Hello
I think that I was not careful enough and that you have installed a malware on my mac. To many sites that I visit, the ads appear, and when I click somewhere on the page (not even on ads) a couple new tabs open and talk a bit about Flash or suggest antivirus,... ads are usually 'TurboMac' and 'DealTop '. I do not see the extensions in my browser, but I have this problem with all my browsers.
Please help me get rid of this problem and I promise to be more careful in installing apps!
(I use OS X El Capitan and I have enabled FileVault)
Thanks in advance.
Hello M4appleS,
I wrote a small diagnostic program to help show what adware is installed. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.
If adware is installed, EtreCheck will help remove you, although you may need to provide a password. If you are not comfortable with that, just after the report of EtreCheck here and other AIDS can tell you exactly which files should be deleted and the way to do it.
WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

The malware removal without danger for a tech novice
Hello
I suspected I had malware on my computer laptop touch screen HP pavillion for awhile now, firefox at a standstill and crashing, having to force the restart far too often, plug-in crashing, the difficulty of installation of updates for windows (never could put far to 8,1 despite multiple attempts) and itunes etc... and this morning when I went to turn on my computer, I got a white screen, and I was taken in the kind of recovery options after disaster: restore factory settings, etc. After trying everything but restore to the factory settings (didn't want to lose it all) my computer finally started normally, on a stroke of luck, it seems. But I'm not illusions that my computer is fixed.
I paid for the antivirus spybot software and can't seem to find even on my computer to charge it, every tech site has different suggestions about what are your anti-malware commands to download and frankly I'm worried I'm going to download something that will harm my computer even more because I'm so new to all this kind of things. When I tried to download the analysis tool collection farbar at the suggestion of whatthetech.com, my computer wouldn't even download because he thought it would be malicious. I even called HP and they wanted me to pay $ 100 with no guaranteed refunds if their treatment did not work and I was just hoping that someone here could help me navigate through all this myself until I can't boot my computer at all and it is too late.
I'd like some advice, keeping in mind that the maintenance of new malware on my computer is my priority.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!!
Well, I can think of a fairly foolproof way to really make sure it is clean without much hassle, but it will take you make you a backup of the files you want to keep (or put them on an online service such as OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive, regardless).
Basically what I'm suggesting is to copy the files you want to keep, do a "Reset PC" in Windows (which is really just a version of Windows of the factory restore HP likely has too). There is also a less demanding optional 'PC Refresh', which is basically identical to a reset, but he tries his best to keep your preferences, as it does.
I mention these and the difference here on my blog, but it's probably the best thing I can think of does not require much investigation migraine inducing (and has not guaranteed).

I want to launch this tool, but can't find it, but still my Microsoft Download list says that it has been installed successfly in September 2011
According to Noel, MSRT is run automatically when it is first downloaded from Windows Update. If you want to run again for some reason, click Start, click Run, and then type the following in the Open box and click OK
MRT.exe
The results will be in a text file named C:\Windows\debug\MRT.log
You can add switches: /? display information use
/ Q runs without user interface
/N is only detect
/ F is full force sca
/ F: there did a full scan and automatically cleans infected filesFor more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Malicious_Software_Removal_Tool
Unlike typical antivirus software, MSRT does not get updated virus signatures. A new version, with the latest integrated virus information, is offered each month from Windows Update.

Local access only after the Network Systems Security 2009 malware removed
I'll try to put all the details that I can here, but my laptop that has the problem cannot connect to the Internet so I won't be able to copy paste n info. Last week, I was struck with the 2009 malware security systems. It was a pain to remove because it stopped all the work programmes and I could not install malware removal software. Finally beat him by renaming the main program folder 2009 for the security of the systems. That he has stopped working when I restarted the laptop and then I was able to install the malware removal software and took remoped.
Here is the problem. Now that he is gone my network connections wireless and wired no longer work. I get local access only on an unidentified network. I have Windows vista Home premium and use internet with a modem model Cableone cable Motorola Surfboard SB5101.
Then I called a cable tech support first and they could not help and after all the service works very well on my desktop the same modem and connection. So I called Motorola tech support and they had me do a lot of things for hours (including reinstalling the drivers for the modem) on the phone without effect. Finally, they suggested that I have re-download all ACER Aspirion z9410z drivers and reinstall them. So I did it. Copied to a flash of my desktop drive and reinstalled them. No luck.
The respectable and sharing Centre, explains that the modem works correctly when you look at the status. But the auto for windows diagnostic tool says to check the IP settings automatically and reset the network card. The two fail to trouble when ran. Here are all the parameters of the network connection.
Physical address: 00-1A - 66 - AA - 64cB
Active Yes DHCP
Autoconfiguration IPV4 address 169.254.195.250
IPv4 mask subnet 255.255.0.0
Net Bios on active TCP/IP Yes
Link-local IPV6 address fe80::1878:12 d 5: a566:c3fa % 36
Servers of DNS IPv6 fec0:0:0:ffff:1 1%
FEC0:0:0:FFFF:2 1%
FEC0:0:0:FFFF:3 1%
IPv4 and 6 are defined automatically detect the IP address and the DNS.Hope that gives enough information. There no mater if I use eithernet and USB to connect or wireless. I have the same problems.
Another thing that can be part of the problem.
It started after removing the systems security 2009 malware as well.
When loggin, turned off the laptop, a blue error screen appears. Here are the details generated for it. I'm working on the research of which the question is to be set by the online search.
Event name BlueScreen
OS version 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
local ID 1033
BCCODE one
BCP1 00000016
BCP2 0000001 B
BCP3 00000000
BCP4 82028768
OS version 6_0_6000
Service Pack 0_0
product 768_1I hope I will get this fix as well.
Any help will be greatly apprieciated. If more information is required only, let me know and I'll get it.
Thank you all.

How malware removal tool installs is supposed to work?
I've never had a monthly malicious software removal tool install successfully. All what happens is the CPU usage goes to 100%, the disc turns, and nothing happens. The Task Manager shows the installation is running. Part of the installation a scan of the drive? Without warning, it starts? Or what? I've waited longer, is 1 1/2 hour. Not normal?

Click here and follow the instructions. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.

After the removal of the malware "IE cannot display the webpage" - a user only
After removing various malware with Symantec Endpoint Protection 11, MalwareBytes 1.46 and the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, the user who received the malware (all detected instances are found on their profile or in the system restore points) can not access all the Web sites with IE 7:
"IE cannot display the webpage."
The administrator account, or another standard account have the problem.
I tried to open IE with 'no Add-ons' when you are connected to the consumer - same result.
I have reset the Internet Explorer settings on the tab 'Advanced' Internet Explorer (inetcpl.cpl) - same result.
Once more, the other two users can access Internet without problem.
The 'user' can access the network otherwise - e-mail, drives mapped to the server, etc...
One option: delete and re-create the profile of the user in question.
But before resorting to that, is there another option?
If I deleted Internet Explorer components in his profile, would they be recreated (correctly)?
System Restore is not an option, because the troubleshooting procedure indicated that we should delete because they could just bring back the malware. And indeed, the malware has been detected in several snapshots.
Have you tried to double check the proxy in Internet Explorer?
Try going to the Internet Option-> setting connection and LAN, check the setting and be sure to correctly configure other users.
You can also try to contact Symantec Support for more help with this problem.

I followed the instructions on bleepingcomputer.com as suggested and am trying to run a clean boot using msconfig to disable all startup programs and the non-microsoft services. reports of msconfig access denied error when you try to change a service.
Suite McAfee was previously installed on this system, but is more work after that "Additional Guard" has appeared and has been uninstalled due to the failure of an attempt to reinstall. The McAfee software will not be installed successfully. AVG Free edition does not install because it indicates that the additional guard already is installled. I was able to run Malwarebytes Anti-malware to remove Additional Guard system and am unable to find any remaining files or registry keys. I scanned for rootkits, but was unable to find anything. What else could happen? More precisely:
(1) what is causing access denied error in msconfig (I get this despite running as administrator in normal mode and safe).
(2) If, if not in the registry, the false information on guard is running might be coming from?
Let alone msconfig for the moment. To ensure that all references to McAfee are removed, use the removal tool.

Need help to manually remove the malware module: extenstions list gophotoit.
I tried to install a media player, the other day and it was crap and I started to feel little specific about this, so I uninstalled completely from my computer. But when returning to firefox, as I noticed that three new extensions have been added. I disabled all three, but one had the option to remove it. The other two are still in my Add-ons Manager. They are not enabled, causing so not a problem (I hope), but I would like to remove them. (GoPhotoIt is the main I've read all over the internet). I tried to follow the instruction manual to uninstall, but there is no file in the extensions folder that corresponds to the IDkeys in the Panel "of troubleshooting information. (The same extenstions were on Chrome, but it was very easy to trash all three for some reason any FF is not making it easy). (Notice: no option 'Remove': http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/xaraan/ScreenShot2013-02-24at102511AM_zps325da890.png)
OK, NOW I GET IT!
First, you will need to follow the manual removal instructions, but when you go to the library, don't just go to the Firefox folder and check and remove, but also the Mozilla folder (extensions folder to that) and delete the files. Then you can do the deletion of SQL that I listed above and they seem to have disappeared now, even after restarting the browser several times.
