    hello
    how to remove Ads by CouponDropDown on safari with mavericks like extensions remains empty
    thank you

    Since I do not use Safari, I had no idea that was an extension, but that person should not be calling that a virus as that is a bit over the top; besides, I have extensions turned on precisely because I want Adblock and WOT to run.
    If that is an extension, then it was installed and can be uninstalled which would appear to be a good way to handle it.

    I'm on my Mountain Lion machine and I do have extensions showing on the left:

  • How to remove latest java virus?

    How to remove latest java virus manually as reported in the media?

    There is some incorrect information being presented in this thread.
    Neither your system nor Java is  updated daily. XProtect on 10.6 or above may get automatic updates as they are pushed out by Apple, but not necessariy daily. I have seen a week or more go by without any, and there have been none for the latest Flashback attack.
    There are now Java updates for 10.6.8 and 10.7 to patch the vulnerability that is currently being exploited. This Trojan does not necessarily require your password or any user interaction for infection.
    Use Software Update to see if there is a Java update for your OS.
    The github Flashchecker is inaduate as it depends on outdated definitions.
    Try using this one, which is most certainly more current.

    Your question presupposes a conclusion that will only mislead you and others into pursuing solutions that are likely to exacerbate whatever problem exists.
    Please describe the problem you are experiencing, and the equipment being affected by the problem. Your question was posted in the Power Mac Discussions area while your equipment profile indicates a Mac Pro, and a version of iOS inapplicable to either of them. All that information conflicts with itself, so please resolve those discrepancies.

  • How to remove FBI virus?

    Safari has been blocked by the FBI virus.  How can this be removed?

    It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
    Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • HT1338 How to Remove ividi malware from Mac/Safari

    Hi, how do you remove ividi from a mac?  It's invaded Safari.  Be so grateful for any help, thanks

    ividi is either a Safari extension or add-on that may have been installed unwittingly. Most people don't do that unless they are deceived into doing so.
    Go to Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. Remove any that you do not recognize or want.
    Safari does not include any Extensions by default. If you see any Extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    It may also be a Safari add-on. To fix that read: Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues:
    Manually uninstall third-party add-ons
    If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually moving the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    To quickly navigate to each of those potential locations, select each of the lines above, individually (triple-click to select the entire line), then control-click and from the contextual menu, select Services > Reveal in Finder. If the folder exists a Finder window will open with the folder selected. Open each folder and examine its contents. Drag anything resembling ividi to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash. If you are uncertain about a particular file, post its name in a reply.

  • Do you know how to fire search-quick virus from safari ?

    a virus called search-quick entered safari and became my search engine instead of google

    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. These instructions are valid as of today, 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 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.

  • How to remove sites when right-clicking Safari in the Dock?

    Right clicking Safari in the Dock shows 3 sites visited awhile ago. There is a diamond shape before each. And each is repeated several times, 16 for one. I've cleared History, closed Safari, removed it from the Dock, restarted Safari. they're still there. Opening them and deleting just increases the amount.
    I'm stymied.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've resolved the issue myself.
    First, let me clarify, each of these "sites" had several tabs.
    Here's what worked: by Option-clicking on one closes all other tabs. Of course this can be done manually, closing each tab separately.
    Once all but one tab is showing click the "close", red circle, button and the site deletes from the Safari list in the Dock.
    Not sure why this anomaly happened but I know how to fix it if it should happen again.

  • How to remove Mac Guard virus

    how do you romove the Mac Guard virus???

    Babowa and Barry,
    I undertsnad what you guys mean.
    Please look at the definition from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware
    Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and unwanted software or program.
    Therefore, Malware is a concept that includes computer viruses.
    I surely know the difference among Trojans, viruses, worm, spyware, etc. But I usually would like to calle all of them as " Virus" because I think "Virus" has been a general and popular concept for all computer threats.
    Anyway, the most important thing here is to remove the Mac Guard infection and I just wanted to offer you guys some more information. If you think it is not ok with you, just ignore it. Just like all of you here:  I offered you the information and it is your choice to accpt the information or ignore the information.

  • How to remove a bug/virus that was embedded in a Mozillas update?

    After an update from Mozilla, I caught a bug that made certain pages unable to be viewed, and made the touch pad/mouse flip settings left/right side.
    I have ran Norton on this laptop since I bought it, and it find nothing. Malware finds nothing. I've been deleting all cache & cookies daily, and that only help temporarely. It's a bug that only work/is active when connected to the internet. If I work offline, the mouse & touchpad stay set. Also if I use explorer, it stays set. I've tried to un-install Firefox to see if the bug would go away, but as soon as I re-installed it, it was back.. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
