How to get rid of pop-ups on my macBook air?
One of my roommates recently downloaded torrent on my macbook air to watch a movie, and since then I have been experiencing popups every time I open a new page on safari. Also, my search engine has switched to something known as search-quick? I've tried a few different mac detox sites to no avail. Very frustrated. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this "virus" and pop-ups would be much appreciated!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
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 word, 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 the word 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 word 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 word 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. 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.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

How to get rid of pop ups on screen??
I have a macbook pro and have had it for two years now. I have never had a virus or nothing wrong with it, since Ive had it.. I also download a fair bit of stuff, but recently i have noticed when i go onto the internet, (google chrome or safari) they both have pop ups on the right and left side and also down the bottom of the screen which is really annoying. The pop ups do have crosses on them which allows me to close them but they still pop up again and again once the page has reloaded. I also get heaps of pop ups coming up as seperate pages when I am surfing the net even though the pop up box is checked.. It is really annoying and affecting the internet.. I dont know what else to do? Please help!

even though the pop up box is checked
Is there a particular scamware that consistantly pops up? Or is this general annoying advertisements.
Did it just start happening all one day??
There is AddBlocker PLus for FireFox
There is AdBlock for Safari
There is AdBlockPlus for Chrome -
How do I get rid of pop ups on my macbook
I keep getting pop ups which just started recently, I may have downloaded some sort of media player which obviously was not. How can I get rid of these same pop ups?
Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

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!Simple Living wrote:

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!
Greetings!
Just to double check but did you made sure to download the latest version of the extension and ensure that it was enabled inside the Safari setting's menu?

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.

Right-click or control-click the line and select

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" 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.
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.

How to get ride of pop up window that freezes browser
Sometimes I get these pop up windows that freezes the browser I don't want to click on the buttons so I have to force quit to close Safari. The last one i had even showed up after I reopened Safari. How can I avoid/get rid of these pop ups?

I am using the Block Pop Windows but it doesn't alway work as I do get the occasional little pop up window that I don't want to click on that freezes Safari. My only option has been to force quit Safari.
As we still have no magic crystal balls to see on your problem, it will be very nice if you have some more information about "that window" .
Eventually post a screenshot here. -
Virus? I can't get rid of pop-ups!
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I'm not sure what is going on, however, whenever I search something in google, the results will come up, and then about 2 seconds later, other random text and links will appear. The most annoying part though is that whenever I click on ANYTHING, whether it be a link or a field to fill in, it takes me to various "mac cleaner" websites. I haven't downloaded any of those sites, yet it's started happening in the last day and appears to be getting worse. There are also random ads appearing on every website I go to, that never appeared before. For example, at the google home page, there are now random ads all over the bottom of it.
I have tried to manage my cookies and pop ups, I've deleted chrome and reinstalled it again, I have restarted my computer, nothing seems to be helping! I've tried all three of my web browsers - safari, chrome and firefox, and they all do the same thing. I am at a standstill!
Can someone please guide me in the right direction? It would be greatly appreciated as I use my computer for work and this is inhibiting my ability to use it!!!
Thank you so much to anyone who has input.You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.

A few months ago I downloaded a program someone suggested.Get Adblock or GlimmerBlocker.

How to get audio input through 3.5mm on MacBook Air
I am trying to use the 3.5mm jack on the MacBook Air as an input jack. I am running several Mic's to a sound board, and then using it's output to get the audio to my system. The problem is, when I plug the cable into the jack, it thinks it is speakers. Does anybody have a solution? I cannot find any way to manually adjust this from output to input. Also, using USB is not an otion, becuase it is coming from a sound board, not jus one mic.
I am using a mid-2011 MBA with Lion 10.7.5
Thanks!!!Maybe you can help me now?
I have a iPhone 1/8 inch microphone adapter - 3.5mm 4 conductor TRRS Male to 3.5mm Microphone Input Jack from here. that allows me to plug my lapel mic directly into my iphone and record, it is great.
I was hoping I could also use it on my MBPRetina to accomplish the same purpose. Do you know if that is possible? I tried and tested it recording a video in iMovie, and didn't notice any change.
I went to the Sound Input Preferences, and do not notice the mic input changing when I plug it in or remove it. In other words, it always says "internal mic."
My lapel mic is battery operated, with a fresh battery, and it was turned on.
What am I doing incorrectly? Any help would be wonderfully appreciated! -
How can I get rid of the malware on my macbook air?
I have not downloaded any suspicious programs or clicked on any links but suddenly today, ads keep popping up on google and on websites like Tumblr, Facebook, etc. Pictures are even turning to ads, like the picture gets replaced with an ad for a farm game. I have disabled extensions, I have deleted cookies and cleared my cache, I have put chrome adblock on, and that keeps a lot of the ads away but the same 'mackeeper' link pops up on google search no matter what, as well as zeobit.com. I'm worried I'm going to have to get professional help.
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.

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
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/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.
