how to block unnecessary page pop up like mac keeper, zip cloud etc?

Hi. if you see these pop ups this may be the symptom of adware. Download, open adwaremedic dmg file ,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button  to remove adware.
Once done, quit AdwareMedic and restart your mac: http://www.adwaremedic.com/
Install adblock for your browser: https://adblockplus.org/

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem 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.
    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 Internet criminal behind VSearch 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 has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    Look under:
    System preferences > Network > WiFi > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    There should be two or more IP addresses there.
    Those addresses should be EXACTLY the ones your current ISP provided when you signed up for service. They do not start with 85 or 86 -- those are hacker sites.
    If you are in the US, you could also use OpenDNS:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

  • How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

    How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
    I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
    In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

    There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires.  Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it.  I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time.  However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources.  I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open.  It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems.  The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

  • How do I upload pages docs from my mac to iCloud?

    How do I upload pages documents from my mac to iCloud? Is it something I have to turn on through Pages or do I drag and drop them in the cloud?  When I try to drag and drop them in the cloud, they instantaneously get downloaded to my computer.  iCloud is turned on in my preferences and I have an iCloud account.

    You put them in your Dropbox folder and then open them from your Dropbox app on iOS into your iOS iWork apps. That's puts them into iCloud, including the icloud.com webpage.
    That certainly is not the official solution but the official Apple is silent on how to achieve this.

  • How to get rid or pop-ups like mackeeper

    I continue to get pop-ups like mackeeper and others almost every time I log in.  also words are highlighted in the text of websites such as Apple and others. 

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

  • How to stop full page pop ups that bypass pop up blocking

    I am getting pop ups that cover 3/4 of my screen These pop ups can be for gaming sites or advertising tool boxes. all and anything can be popping up.It usually happens with my local newspaper in Australia but the sites are overseas. If I go to a gaming site like Slingo which is in the USA I realise I have to allow the pop ups as they help pay for the free games.Their pop up do not interfere with what you are doing whereas the ones I am getting most certainly do.My pop up blocker is turned on but these are getting past it somehow. It was so bad I had to resort to IE and I loathe IE.

  • How do I delete Pages 08 from my mac

    I have a old copy of Pages 08 and a newer copy of Pages 09.  How do I get all files into 09 and delete 08.  Thanks

    Drag it to the trash.
    There's not much reason to trash the old version, but you get rid of it like you would any other file or folder.

  • Figured out how to upload single pages w/o using .mac

    I figured out how to upload or republish only the pages with revisions using a different ftp server than .mac
    I hope I can explain this. I am using Fetch as my FTP client. I changed a few things on my welcome page and published the to my folder. Then I opened fetch, opened the main folder with all the pages in it. I then went down and highlighted Welcome files and Welcome.html. I then hit the put button and selected the same to items from the folder on my computer. This replaces the previous files and you can republish w/o having to publish your whole site. I hope this made sense. I am not computer savy. I really love the iweb program. I have a site with about 100 pics and 10 movies and all seems to be going well. I checked and it works on PC's as well.

    Hi theburlaon and welcome!
    I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape
    Did you try to import the entire tape as one huge clip? Better to set it to, say, 5 minute clips.
    I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies
    Bad idea IMO. DVD is the final delivery format, not intended for editing. Converting back from mpeg2 (DVD format) to DV format (what iMovie likes) will result in a substantial quality loss.
    Just hang on to the tapes until you are ready to do the job properly, via iMovie and iDVD.
