Thanks for your help!

How to delete genieo program

how to delete genieo program?

Hello, Francisco,
Maybe you will find useful this free tool: http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/adware-removal-tool.html.
This version currently detects and removes Genieo for Mac. It quickly scans a user’s system for adware and its elements and, if detected asks for permission to remove it. It then removes all traces of the software and resets browser settings that were changed by the adware, eliminating unwanted ads and modified default search results.

How to uninstall genieo from safari

I uninstall genieo in Safari preferences, Omnibar too. I changed the search motor for Google.
But, I find always Geneio in my URL when I write a search word.
Can you help me
I am sorry for my poor english

You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will deactivate any version of the rootkit that I know of.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/etc/launchd.conf
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. 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 may open with a file selected, or the file may not exist, in which case you'll get a message that it can't be found. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Then restart, empty the Trash, and continue as below.
IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash and restart before continuing. Otherwise the system may become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system. If you're not sure you can complete this step, stop here and ask for guidance.
Some installations of Genieo don't include the launchd.conf file, perhaps because it has already been removed. The absence of that file doesn't mean that Genieo is not installed.
Step 2
Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way as above:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
There's no need to restart after each one. Again, 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.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this undesirable software. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers 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. Typically the ad is a large green button labeled "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to mislead people who want to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
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 Genieo 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. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

How to delete Autofill contents Safari 2.0.4

How can I get rid of Autofill or delete Autofill contents? I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want. I know there is private browsing...but what about everything that is already in autofill, or the next time I forget to turn it on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I may have misunderstood your original question.
I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want.
I thought you were asking about the multitude of prompts appearing when you begin to type a web address into the Address window.
If you are asking about the autofill information that appears when you are completing a form, then yes, as you discovered, the reset command will remove that data in its entirety from the system. It also removes a lot of other data too. You can find out the specifics of what is affected by going to the Help Menu>Safari Help. When the Help screen appears, type "reset" in the spotlight panel. This will lead you to a more thorough explanation of the reset command.
If there are specific instances where the auto-fill information is not accurate or helpful, you can remove that data without throwing away everything else by going to Safari Preferences>Auto-fill>Other forms>Edit. There, you can remove specific entries without losing the entire database.

How to delete items in Safari Spell Check Dictionary?

So, I accidently clicked add to dictionary when I wrote "myselg" instead of myself. Is there a way to remove myselg from the dictionary?

Thanks, Klaus (blush):
The gist of the article was this:
if you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the dialog and then click "ignore."

I can delete history in safari but when i tap the Google icon on home page, it doesn't work

I have Safari on the Home screen and it opens to Google. I never use that icon. There is also a separate Google icon. I want to delete all history and cookies from Google. I found instruction online for how to delete history from Safari which i did successfully. But when i touch the Google icon on Home screen, the history still is there. I just don't know what to do. There must be a way. btw, i don't know why i have both Safari and Google. I might have added Google when i got the iPod or perhaps somone else did. i'm not sure it was there when i bought it.
I really need to delete the history. There must be someone out there who can tell me... and I would truly appreciate getting a solution. Thanks loads!!!

I retraced my steps to how i got the Google app:
App Store icon on Home Screen > Search, at bottom > entered Google
The first Google App on the screen appears:
Google logo small g in blue square: Google Search; Open (because it is already installed). Below that is a picture of the iPod with the usual Google Search screen. I have never inserted a link into a discussion group so i hope you can open this.

How can delete the serve.bannersdontwork virus from Safari on Mac?

Hello @all,
How can delete the serve.bannersdontwork virus from Safari on Mac?
About every 8-20 clicks Safari opens a webside named serve.bannersdontwork.
I can not remove this with my Avira antivirus programm.
Can anybody help me?
THX
Hallo an alle,
Ich habe mir einen Virus eingefangen, serve.bannersdontwork, auf Safari.
Alle 8-20 clicks öffnet sich diese Seite "serve.bannersdontwork" und leitet mich auf andere weiter.
Über mein Antivirusprogramm Avira konnte ich den Virus nicht beheben.
Auch die erweiterung AdBlock hilf hier nicht weiter.
Wer weiß, oder hat eine Ahnung, wie man diesen Virus wieder los wird?
Danke schonmal im voraus!!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

How to delete recurring cookie in Safari?

Here is a hosts editing method which should work with all versions of OS X. Read the notes below before you start.
Open Terminal - in Utilities folder
Paste the following and then hit <return>: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter password when asked and hit <return>
Use arrow keys to go to a new line at end of text - note 1
Type: 127.0.0.1<tab>silly-site.com<return>
Type: <control>O
Type: <return>
Type: <control>X
Restart and test
Notes:
IMPORTANT - do not delete any original lines at the top of the file
Items within angle brackets are single key presses
Use letter O at line 7
This works by directing eg silly-site.com to your Mac at 127.0.0.1
Get precise site URL from eg your cookies preferences
Add as many lines as you wish to disable access to sites
This should be faster than any other method
Take care - mistakes could disable all communications
Replacing original lines should correct any mistakes

I'm not sure I understand what that is. Can you clarify?
It's likely that jaredfs' proposed solution will work, if you are infected with some kind of adware. However, it's hard to tell whether that's the case from your description.
