How to block MacKeeper?

After posting a question here about whether I should use CCleaner on my macbook, I started to get pop-ups from MacKeeper.
1. How did they know where to find me?
2. How do I block them from coming in?

all you can do is turn on pop up blocker and ignore the rest.  I see adverts for it all the time too.  Having cookies turned on is probably the most likley way it has found you.  That's fine though, alot of site wont run without turning cookies on.

    block MacKeeper and other browser ads

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    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 two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.

  • How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    A
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    First, back up all data.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.
    B
    If you see popup ads for MacKeeper on websites where you haven't seen them before, see below.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected.

  • How To Block a User From Changing Total Field In AR Invoice

    Hi all,
    I would like to find out how to block a user from being able to change the total field at the bottom right hand side of the AR Invoice.  Currently if a user creates an invoice and is still busy in that invoice they can adjust the total field which in turn will update the discount field as well.
    Is this simply an authorization issue or am I going to have to do it in the transaction notification?
    We are using SAP Business One PL 30 currently.

    Hi
    Please review by note again -This is by system design .
    I don't know why you are so worried abt this because by setting up discount max ,if user cannot post the document ,that means it is not in the system ,no matter they change multiple times in the fields .
    But I think your scenario is different ,
    You are copying with certain discount from Delivery to AR invoice and i think you don't want user to change the discount field , then you can solve your issue by using approval or sp_notification
    If you really want it to be greyed out ,I think you might have to go through by SDK or Boyum addon.
    Thank you
    Bishal

  • How to block an order if the price is too low?

    Hello,
    My problem is :
    How to block an order if the price is too low?
    I created a new type of condition ZMIN and an access by material.
    When the net price is below the minimum price the system must position the order on incomplete document for error of price.
    Thank you in advance.
    Frédéric Blaise
    e-Kenz S.A.

    Hello,
    you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
    Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
    Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
    Use
    When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
    Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
    Condition update
    Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
    E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
    This total value can be specified in the condition record.
    I hope that the information are helpful.
    With best regards

  • How to block the creation of a Sales Orders without a linked Purchase Order

    Hi. I'm trying to block the creation of a Sales Order that doesn't have a linked Purchase Order. The first thing I did is using the SBO Transaction Notification as follows:
    IF  @transaction_type = 'A' AND @object_type='17'
    BEGIN
         IF (SELECT PoPrss FROM ORDR WHERE DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del) = 'N'
         BEGIN
              SET @error = 1
              SET @error_message = 'Purchase Order Missing...'
         END
    END
    This works good. I create the Sales Order, I tick the purchase order field on the logistics tab, I click Add, and then the purchase order window appears...
    Then, the problem begins... If I click the Cancel button, the purchase order is obviously not created, but the Sales Order is created.
    Can someone tell me how to block the creation of the sales order If the user press the cancel button on the purchase order window (and the purchase order is not created)
    As far as I can see, after clicking the add button in the sales order document, the Sales Order is created on the DB. If there's no way of blocking the creation of the Sales Order, can I avoid closing the purchase order window by the SBO_TransactionNotification? (if the purchase order has not been created)
    Thanks...

    Hi Yail,
    I think you can't close the purchase order with the stored procedure.
    Try to catch the Event when the user click on Cancel button.
    So you can list the vents with event logger : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ede3be37-0e01-0010-1883-cd1b5293473e
    You can block the cancel button and force the user to create the purchase order.
    Hope i help you
    Best regards

    Hi All,
    How to Block user from Sending IM or Hide Presence of there user who is not in his department.
    Thank you

    Hi Jp,
    Method 1:
    You can use the Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync 2013
    <section class="ocpSection">
    Enable Privacy Mode
    By default, everyone except Blocked Contacts can see your presence status. To modify the privacy settings, you can do the following:
    In the Lync main window, click the Options button.
    In the Lync - Options dialog box, click Status, and then do one of the following:
    Click I want everyone to be able to see my presence regardless of system settings (override default settings).
    Click I want the system administrator to decide - currently everyone can see my presence but this could change in the future.
    </section>
    About Enhanced Privacy Mode
    If your organization has enabled Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync, you can choose whether to limit visibility of your presence information to only those people you’ve added to your Contacts list. You do that by selecting one of the following on the
    Options->Status window:
    I want everyone to be able to see my presence
    I only want people in my Contacts list to see my presence
    Method 2:
    Using Privacy Relationship, you can block a particular user by adding him to blocked contacts

  • How to block an invoice if the value of a post is zero?

    Hello,
    In the rules of copy we use the field " Pricing type " with the value " C = Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others ".
    The order is complete and the price of the post is not equal to zero.
    During the invoicing the system makes a new search for the prices in the tables of conditions.
    If the condition does not exist in the date of invoice the post takes the zero value.
    How to block an invoice if the value of a post is zero?
    There is no incompleteness procedure for the invoice.
    The value of the post is the result of several conditions and we cannot make them obligatory.
    Who already has to meet this problem with the recalcul of the price in the invoicing?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    It is not the total invoice which is equal to zero but only one post.
    As I explained it at first the problem is the following one:
    In the rules of copy we use the field " Pricing type " with the value " C = Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others ".
    he order is complete and the price of the post is not equal to zero.
    +During the invoicing the system makes a new search for the prices in the tables of conditions.
    If the condition does not exist in the date of invoice the post takes the zero value.
    I look for a solution to block the creation of the invoice if a post only is equal to zero after the updating of the prices.
    Thanks

  • How to block a material that not to creation of service notification thru-IW51

    Hi All,
    I have tried in all over areas ( MM02 level and MM06 level ) to block a material that not to create service notification with that material but didn't get a solution.If any one knows solution for this kindly provide me.
    "How to block a material that not to create a service notifcation thru IW51?"
    Best Regards,
    Narendra Konnipati

    Narendra,
    1. I do not see any possibility without using this exit. It is a very simple and effective thing for your ABAPer and you too.
    2. In case of many Materials-Notification type combinations, you can maintain similar code by joining several elseif s.
    3. Alternatively, you can maintain a Z Table as under:
    QMART
    MATNR
    S3
    10000000099999
    S3
    10000000099988
    S1
    10000000088988
    S2
    12000000088988
    Means, for every Notification type there will be one or more prohibited materials. The coding will not be difficult, but will have around 15/20 lines.Finally, if you have to get your issue resolved, I feel this is the way and also easy way through your ABAPer.
    Tell me in case of any further opinions.
    Best of Luck

    It sounds as though someone hacked into your email account and/or the account of one of your friends and stole email addresses to use as sender and recipient for spam messages.
    Since the damage is already done so to speak, there isn't a whole lot to do but: do change your email address and send out an email to your friends that the other emails are not from you and not to open or click on anything contained in them.
