BeeOptions and other pop unders

Oh dear. This is quite problematic and I have no idea how to resolve it.
So recently I was using my windows side and was trying to install a piece of software on there, and I accidentally clicked something to download thinking it was the software I was trying to get (you know those deceivingly large "download buttons" on download sites that are not actually what you want? Yeah, that one). I didn't realize it until afterwards. In shot, I deleted my windows partition and reinstalled it.
HOWEVER, on my mac side, something happened. Everytime I use any form of browser, when I click on links in there, it launches pop unders. I'm really getting annoyed at this, and I tried everything I could. I checked for plugins, but it's not specific to a browser. I think there is something on my computer that I cannot locate. I tried using my application "Clean My Mac 2" but that doesn't find any bugs. Also, I tried using Sopho's cleaning but it still wouldn't detect it.
I could use any help I can get.

You want to be careful with apps like Clean My Mac - it can encourage you to delete system files & other items that you actually need. Sophos's software seems to cause performance issues on some systems (it runs many background jobs).
These 'maintenance utilities' have a bad reputation on this site - many users will tell you to remove them. It may also be causing part of the issue..
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-uninstall-software/
The safe mac site also has other info on 'malware & adware' removal, make sure you cleaned it out properly otherwise it may reappear again.
There are other tools that can show what is installed…
http://etresoft.com/etrecheck
Post a report from that if you are not sure if the software has gone, it may show any remaining pieces that are set to load.
P.S. You can install malware/ adware if you download installers from some sites like downloads.cnet .com, they have a habit of bundling junk into other peoples software. Make sure you find the developers site or stick to App Store apps. Those huge download buttons are a sure sign that advertisers are trying to confuse users, avoid those sites.

  • Mackeeper and other pop ups

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if my Macbook Pro has a possible virus? I really don't think anything is wrong, as everything seems to be working fine, knock on wood.... However, I noticed I when using Safari, I have had pop ups for Mackeeper, to clean my Mac, and just now I got a new tab opened automatically for Mackeeper and when I went to leave the page, a pop up appeared that said Let Mackeeper clean your Mac, If you don't want to use Mackeeper, leave this page.  It might not have been word for word, but it was to that effect, i exited out of that page! I saw a similar post on here from November, and Linc Davis gave steps to check for an extension that could be a problem. I followed those steps, but didn't find any extensions at all... So, did I look right and do I have anything to worry about? I really am not worried and know what to look for, but just want some opinions of my peers....

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.

  • How can I get rid of excessive commercial ads and other pop-ups?

    Quite recently I have been facing severe pop up annoyances on all my web-search browsers (including Google Chrome and Safari). It has come to the point that I rather surf on my little iPhone 5s than on my Apple MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display (Year 2013) Every second mouse click opens up a random tab with advertising/commercial and the usual stuff. Adding to that annoying in-site popups appear on most of the sites all the time. Even when i click the closing cross or the buttton "close this ad" it will just re-appear the next time the page reloads (latest at my next click). It made it so annoying to use my Laptop that I try to avoid working with it in the Internet. Especially with Uni restarting I would appreciate any Help or advice.
    Kind Regards,
    Lion

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

  • Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)

    Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
    ENVIRONMENT
    Win7 SP1
    Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
    Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
    The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
    Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
    BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
    the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
    <!-- END ADSUPPLY →
    The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
    SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
    This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
    InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
    In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
    If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
    WIN7 Firewall
    The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
    The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
    The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
    Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
    Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
    You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
    Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
    My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
    I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.

  • On websites which open pop-under windows, Firefox 4 seems to be opening these over the current window instead of under. Is this a bug or an intentional feature?

    I have noticed a problem on FF4 when browsing sites that open pop-under windows on a user action. With all other browsers (including FF3) these open underneath the main window, but on Firefox 4 they open over the top - acting as pop-ups and not pop-unders.
    While pop-unders are annoying, it is even more annoying to have them keep appearing as pop-ups instead.
    I have run some tests and the following code successfully opens a pop-under on all browsers except Firefox 4.
    It appears that window.focus() is not correctly bringing the current window to the top.
    Example code:
    var w = window.open('http://www.mydomain.com/', 'mywin', 'width=400,height=300,toolbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=1');
    if(w){
    w.blur();
    window.focus();
    }

    This is normal. Firefox 4 has disabled the default "window flip".
    - go to adress about:config
    - accept and search dom.disable_window_flip set to false;
    And popunder, blur/focus javascript function will be back ;)

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Photoshop CS6. Windows and Mac pop-up/drop down menus

    Hi guys!
    I have a problem with pop-up menus in CS6 (13.0.5) and ACR (white balance) under Mac OS 10.8.5.
    I have been working with photoshop on PC under Windows for the years. I recently had to switch to CS6 on Mac.
    I can no longer place my cursor in the Photo Filter preset mode (or ACR white balance presets) field and use arrow keys to quickly toggle through different presets/modes to find the ideal mode.
    I know that with Shift+ an Shift- one can toggle between blend modes (Layers). But these keyboard combinations do not work for Photo Filter and other pop-up/drop down menus.
    I used to be able to preview a lot of filters (or other modes) in seconds to choose the optimal. Now I have to click this button and click again on each photo filter. This is lengthening enormous the process.
    On my Mac, I can certainly click in the menu and use the arrow key to go up and down but what that does not do is apply the blend mode, unless I also press Return. But pressing Return kicks you out of the menu so you have to start the click/arrow/Enter cycle again, which is a long way just to try the next blend mode.
    It is very annoying. Please help! Thank you very much!

  • CS4 tool and other pallettes wont stay above images

    Hi
    CS4, Unlike other versions of photoshop I have had, I am able to bury the tools and other palettes under my images.
    I have my images free floating as always (as I like them) and as I shuffle them about on screen, they bury anything at the sides !
    What setting keeps the tools and palettes on top ?

  • Mail compose window jumps to back when adding address. As soon as I add a single character to the address window of a new mail message, it pops  under all other existing windows. If I have others open...and who doesn't? I have to then close them all.

    So.....deeply....disappointed by Lion...
    It honestly gets in the way of getting things done.
    When was the last time you had an upgrade, in any program or  OS that caused an immediate productivity drop?
    Mail windows, when adding a new address, pop under to become the lowest window in the stack...before you are done composing...
    no extra clicks..just adding ONE character to the actual address bar does it.
    Trying to add files to an online content management system is hard...it's hard because when you attempt to add the file, it disappears from
    the list, so a search must be conducted...oh not a search of your hard drive...no...it has to include ALL FILES and that takes a while, showing
    files totally unrelated to what you need or in whatever that view is, showing everything from movies to documents, to a whole range of other stuff
    that is irrelevant to what is being sought.
    I can get used to the disappearing icon tool bar...but the message threading in Mail is so strangely bad it's hard to describe. So you send out an email,
    and it had 5 points...but that was 3 emails before...A reply comes in addressing those 5 points but saying something like ..."I disagree with point number 4"
    Unless you have total recall the thread shows you only incoming mail and the LAST most recent folded up message you sent. You are forced to go digging
    into sent mail to see what that point you made 8 days eariler actually was...
    I am pleased that I don't have to have Launchpad (honestly the silliest 'feature' I've ever seen on a computer) in the dock and see no point in the juvenile Mission Control (the naming scheme is odd and reminiscent of Junior Spaceman...how ironic that we end America's manned launch capability at the same time as Launch Pad and Mission Control, both throwbacks to the 60's are added to an OS). In any case both are virtually useless tools. One, replacing the mildly useful Spaces and the other just genuinely useless.
    I'm going to give Apple until the second bug fix...but I can tell right now that Snow Leopard was a far more robust OS. The thousands of posts about this may rise to the level of AntennaGate...I hope so...It seems the only way to get Steve (for whom I have now honestly lost respect for the FIRST TIME) to address the issues is to embarrass the company publicly. Lion is a broken system, poorly conceived...and proof that the Apple methodology of no widespread user testing can and does fail. This needs to get fixed. Soon.

    It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
    I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
    I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight.

  • My firefox browser keeps getting redirected to sites like "video cop" and other things I've never heard of. I keep getting pop under windows out of nowhere. What's wrong!? Adware, Spybot, and all my antivirus scans can't find anything!

    When I click on links on google to go to search results, the computer often freezes or is misdirected to sites like "video cop."

  • I've started getting pop-under ads every time I launch Firefox, and the uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

    In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
    The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
    The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
    I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.

    Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

  • Save as PDF dialog popping under all other windows using Acrobat 9

    One of my clients  recently upgraded a bunch of their workstations to Windows 7 64bit  Enterprise edition.  Now when they try to print to a PDF by selecting the print option in any application and then selecting the PDF printer, the dialog box pops  under all the other windows.  The result is the application appears to  freeze, as it is stuck at the 'now printing' screen.  See the below screenshot for a sample.  Meanwhile, the save as PDF dialog is still there and  if you click on the blank icon you can see in the attached screenshot,  the dialog will pop up and you can finish making the PDF.
    Steps  I've already taken to try to resolve this include: running a repair of  acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and removing and adding  the PDF printer.  So far none of this has had any effect.  I'm using the  current (that is 9.3.2) patch revision for acrobat.
    Any  help/suggestions would be most welcome!

    Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

  • Missing words and letters in pop up alert windows and other spaces

    I have snow leopard and I have noticed that in many things this problem occurs. Example 1. Empty trash, you receive and alert pop up always asking if you want to delete or cancel right? Well there are two button under the explanation of what emptying will do. But in the buttons no words show up. Just two empty cells.
    Example 2. Changing view option for desktop folders and labels. Only the first letter of each changeable option shows up. Font size number only show the first number of a 2 digit number.
    Example. 3. Trying to connect to a server, typing in the IP address and only the first number that I type shows up, the rest are invisible.
    This happens in other places as well.
    How do I fix this issue? Thanks!

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatible.
    Good luck in any case.

  • How to get rid of Pop Ups, Pop Unders and YouTube ads

    Ever since AdBlock stopped working in Safari, I've searched til no end for another program, or extension, that will get rid of all pop ups, pop unders, and YouTube ads and banners for Safari.  Nothing. 
    This astounds me because I've never known Mac gurus to not be on top of somthing like this.  Are there any alternatives?  I only use Safari and not Firefox or Chrome. 
    I've downloaded Glimmer Blocker but it doesn't stop pop-unders at all.  Is there a hack to get it to?  What is everyone else doing?  I can't imagine people are just putting up with the bombardment of ads!  Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
