Unable to connect to non https web pages

"Connection refused" error whenever I try to open a web page of no https in a MAC with el Capitan. I know that some people have problems with their antivirus software but this including THAT MAC is not installed.

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.

You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please backup all data, and then follow the instructions from Apple Support to remove it.

If you have problems with these instructions, or if they do not work, see below.

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.

VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then 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. Search inside the two files with the names of these forms:

com.something.daemon.plist

com.something.Helper.plist

com.something .net - preferences.plist

com.something.Preferences.plist

Here, something is a variable character string, that may be different in each VSearch infection. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as the 'cloud', 'point,' 'Highway', 'underwater', or 'trusteddownloads.' Sometimes, it's an empty string like 'e8dec5ae7fc75c28' instead of a Word. Sometimes, the string is "Apple", and then you must be particularly careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.

You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

com.somethingUpd.plist

where something may be a different meaning empty string in other files. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of something.

Here's a specific example of an infection VSearch:

com.disbalance.daemon.plist

com.disbalance.Helper.plist

com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

2. If you find such files, let the open LaunchDaemons folder and open the file following the same way:

/Library/LaunchAgents

In this case, there may be a file named

com.something.agent.plist

where the channel something is the same as before.

If you feel confident that you have identified the above files, back up all data, and then drag the files - nothing - to the trash only. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder Windows, and then restart the computer.

Do not delete the folder 'LaunchAgents' or 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside either.

3 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

The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. You can stop here if you want, or you can delete the other two components for completeness.

4. This step is optional. Open this folder:

/Library

It may have subfolders that are named as follows

something

somethingUpd

where something is one of the channels that you have seen before. Drag all these subfolders to the trash, and then close the window.

Do not delete the folder "Library" or anything else inside.

5. This step does not apply to the OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or later and it is optional if you are using an older version of Mac OS X.

In this folder:

/System/Library/Frameworks

There may be an element named exactly

v.Framework

either a named item

Something.Framework

Again, something is the same string as before.

This item is actually a file, although it has a different icon than usual. Drag it to the trash, and then close the window.

Do not delete the folder "Frames" or anything else inside.

6. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

7. the penalty may have started when you have downloaded and run an application called "MPlayerX." It is the name of a legitimate free movie actor, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an element with that name in the Applications folder, delete it. I do not recommend to install the genuine "MPlayerX", because it is hosted on the rogue 'SourceForge' site and is bundled with other malware.

This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow. Never install software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or which has been downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

In the aspect of security & confidentiality of system preferences, select the general tab. The marked anywhere radio button should not be selected. If this is the case, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and then select an other keys. After that, do not ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown Director.

Then, still in system preferences, open the pane of the App Store or software update and check the box marked

Install the system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later version)

or

Automatically download the updates (OS X 10.9 or earlier version)

If it is not already done.

  • Display the pages Web HTTPS but HTTP Web pages are not

    Hello

    All of a sudden, http Web pages not loading for me in Explorer, Chrome or Firefox.  One minute, they are involved, but the next minute, they were not.
    I don't get an error message in the browser.  Rather, the address of the site remains in the address bar and a screen totally Virgin appears in the box.
    Strangely - in a computer numpty like me! -https Web pages still work, so I can get secure Web pages as email, banking, etc.  To me, this proves that my internet connection works fine.

    Thank you.

    A difference between http https of ASD is that http uses Port 80 and https Port 443.

    It could be that you have a firewall that blocks port 80.  Check your firewall (and maybe disable them temporarily) of the see, it's the source of your problem.

  • Unable to connect to the VMware web service: invalid key file

    Hello

    We have a CPO 2.3.1 who refuses to connect to vCenter (see newspaper excerpt at the end of the post).

    Recently, we changed our server vCenter (part of a 5.1 update).

    We tried the following workarounds:

    • Remove and add all the elements of the platform from the portal using services SE
    • Re import automation packs (4 of the Starter Edition v2.3.1.38)
    • Re on the keystore password

    No change at all...

    Do you have an idea on how to fix this?

  • I'm unable to connect to a specific web site. Have you tried 3 different browsers and they all say that they are unable to connect. No one else has a problem connecting to the page.

    I tried to use www.findagrave.com for 2 days.  I tried 3 different browsers.  all say that they are unable to connect.  No one else has a problem on this page.  I have no problem to do something else.  Why, throughout this site I can not connect with?   I use it all the time in research.  very aggravating.

    original title: on a web page

    Well, I tried the support page, but I already tried all that.  I did a restore full back to factory settings... still cannot have only one page to load.  I'll call my dsl provider this afternoon.  I don't know what else to do.  I can't communicate with Findagrave.  I don't have a snail mail address but no phone number.  But I don't think that it would be them anyway, if no one else has a problem with this web site.  There must be on my end, don't you think?

    I don't know what to tell you. There is no problem, it's on your side.

    If you care to try it... on the assumption that your user account is damaged.
    Create a different user account with exactly the same type of account > connect to it and see if you can access this Web site.

    Personally, I doubt that will solve anything, since you already restored your computer to factory settings.

  • 9.01 Firefox crashes every time when connecting to the first web page

    Firefox worked normally for centuries and today began hanging whenever I open it and it attempts to connect to a web page. I tried to reinstall, but I was told that it was unable to copy because the element 'libnspr4.dylib' is in use (even if I force - quit the application). I then Firefox to the trash in order to reinstall it and still had the same problem. Restarted the computer and the application several times; tried to start in safe mode, all to nothing does not.

    Under the direction of add: The problem occurs with any Web page; before I reinstalled it, it would happen when I tried to 'connection '.... "for any web page. Now that I have reinstalled it, it tries to connect to the home page of Firefox on launch and is automatically suspended.

    -Very well, as OP does not answer you, I'd try to find a solution to this problem. I do not use Cisco AnyConnect. I'm having exactly the same problem with the same details of system that OP provided.

  • Wireless connected but cannot display Web page

    Hi, I have a HPG7094 laptop with Vista 64 bit installed.

    I tried for days to fix my problem. My wireless connection has stopped working. It says it is connected to my wireless - excellent - but when I try to open the internet I get the error IE cannot open the Web page. I deleted my network and tried to re-login only to get the same error. I did a clean install on my laptop and downloaded the drivers on the HP site, but it's always the same.

    In the lower RH it says 'Unidentified network' (and the name of my network) access: Local only. If I connect the ethernet cable, it works fine and if I connect my mobile dongle orange it works very well.

    I have other laptops and desktop computers and all these connect wirelessly without problem. I have tried to 'fix' the wireless connection and not to renew the period of INQUIRY, still no joy. I connected on the router from my office and changed the channel from "auto" to "6" and "11", but this has no effect.

    Someone at - it ideas, what could cause this problem, any help would be highly appreciated.

  • Satellite A300 and Wi - Fi connection - can open some Web pages

    I have a strange problem. I can connect to the Web using a WiFi connection but the problems came later.
    It is possible to use only the Toshiba pages and pages of Google. Other pages aren't available and I don't know what to do with it.

    I would try everything but nothing works, so I m wondering if someone could help me.

    If anyone can help, it must be your Internet service provider. Laptop manufacturer is responsible for the operation of the WLAN equipment.
    All the other problems, you must specify with ISP.

  • Unable to connect to a specific web site

    Although I'm not a novice when it comes to internet issues, I met a problem only and myself cannot explain... I'd be VERY grateful if someone in the community might be able to get an idea of troubleshooting.

    A week ago, I noticed that on my home network (2 XP Pro, 1 Vista Home Premium and Vista 64 via WiFi, Linksys Router 1 laptop), I was able to access a favorite web site (u2torrents) via a wired hard XP systems, others would not connect.  I tried to use the numerical IP address, but it connected extraordinarily slowly and incompletely loaded pages.  I ping the site and got no response.

    I have connected one of the XP Pro that was blocked by the router, directly to the cable modem, and it IS connected.

    So, I thought that you need some sort of router problem.

    Linksys has worked with me for three hours, and they couldn't identify a problem.  Of course, we went through the usual steps of router cold restarts, restore the default settings.

    Any running Zone Alarm internet from my PC, but even more by turning off without effect.

    I took my laptop to another WiFi network, and it worked fine... so, probably to prove the issue had nothing to do with the OS corruption.

    All of a sudden, everything worked for two or three days.  I did however replace my router... four year old and all worked for two days... and now the same problem has recurred.

    I have confirmed with u2torrents.com (by pingdom) that at least through this mode of audit, the site itself has no problem.

    I am usually able to access u2torrents.com via my PC at my workplace, now, today I can't connect from there either.  However, at the Hospital where I work, u2torrents.com is accessible without problem.

    So, I don't know where to go with this... I can't identify a problem with my home PC, the router, or by the owner of the u2torrents.com site, the site itself... the only is different home computer that DOES connect to the House has DNS settings which allows him to assign a static ip address on my home network, but can't imagine what a difference that would make...

    And now with two completely separate ISP of the no connection to the u2torrents.com site, I'm really lost.

    So, if anyone has an idea about that, I will be eternally grateful!

    Thanks in advance, Peter

    Thanks for the thoughts!

    I found a solution... it is the affected DNS server... when I inserted the ip to opendns settings, everything worked like a charm.  So, I guess that somehow the site I was previously access to was somehow fell off the screen radar of the DNS server by using my ISP was.

    Seems that it is a rare question... but to the credit of my ISP, when I called them, one of the suggestions is to insert the Google's DNS ip address, and that probably would have worked too.

    Hope if someone else has this problem in the future, they may find this link and save several hours of aggravation... not to mention buying a new router that I probably didn't seriously need again!

    Once again, thank you to those who have read my request and tried to help him.

    Peter
