How to remove MacProtector

Man alive!!! Oh My!  I can't believe I've done a really stupid thing!!!  Same thing popped up on my screen. Said I had a lot of viruses . . . . . .clicked on 'remove all'  and then . . . . .I INSTALLED the application MacProtector!   The thing has run for over an hour ringing up one virus after another.  THEN I began to get worried.  I'm an experienced Mac user.  Mac s don't get these viruses.  How could I be sooooo stupid.  Any suggestions for getting it's nasty claws out of my computer.  As a side note now I'm also getting some really explicit **** Pop-ups.   Save me from my stupidity . . . .PLEASe

Hi Ann!
SO glad you're all sorted now!
There are 4-5 of those d*%$ things going around now.
And really, even if you clicked on it, I doubt you installed it.
But it is driving lots of our posters nutz right now.
Happy 'Puting and see you around the Boards!

  • How to remove MacProtector from iMac

    Did a Google search, and clicked on one of the links. It told me my Mac was infected by Trojans and to install MacProtector. Did this but it kept saying that the installation could not be installed, but it is now showing in my Finder. I was just told that the MacProtector is actually the Virus. Need to know how to remove it.   Thanks !

    not to sound like a jerk but how could you fall for that? i clean crap like this off of PCs every day and i'd figure the people who make them are really slick but i guess it's just as easy as "hey you're infected, install this". i've actually encountered people who PAY for fake A/V software just to be able to remove it....anyway, check out this discussion

      Thanks for your help .

    Hi guixin,
    1. Before calling REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    2. Write this code :
    data : excl type SLIS_T_EXTAB.
    data : exclwa type SLIS_EXTAB.
    exclwa = '&OUP'.
    append exclwa to excl.
    exclwa = '&ODN'.
    append exclwa to excl.
    3. Then while calling the FM,
       pass this parameter also .
    IT_EXCLUDING     = excl
    It will work fantastic.

  • How to remove calendar in ical

    I clicked on a link that added a calendar to my ical which has now synced with my Google calendar and added all the events to it as well.  Unfortunately, I did not realize that this was going to add every single instance (multiple events per day) to all my calendars.
    I'd like to reverse this action but there is not easy way to do this in ical it seems.  I cannot "delete" the calendar because it does not appear in the list of subscribed calendars in ical.
    I subscribed to two calendars this way and I'd like to remove them both.  I also have to now deal with how to remove hundreds of entries in my Google calendar....and it seems there is no batch delete there either unless I pay for a third party program....arrrgh
    If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply.  I "subscribed" to a couple of motorsports calendars in iCal by visiting a direct link on the Apple website like this one: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/2011motogpworldchampionshipcalen darprovisional_gpticketltd.html    
    This adds the events contained in this calendar directly to iCal and I can't for the life of me find a way to "unsubscribe" or eliminate these entries short of erasing them manually one by one.  Unfortunately, there are many of them.
    If you know how I may go about doing this in an efficient manner, please let me know!

    Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to remove folder and leaf icons from a tree

    Hi,
    I know how to remove when we have a mx component i.e.,
    <mx:Tree folderOpenIcon={null} ...../> similarly for
    closed and default leaf icon.
    But how do i achieve this from an action script like say i
    have,
    var tree:Tree = new Tree();
    tree.setFolderOpenIcon(null); ///is there something like this
    or any other alternative.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Lucky

    the folderOpenIcon is a style so you have to set it with the
    setStyle method
    try:
    tree.setStyle("folderOpenIcon",null);

  • Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port.

    Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port...
    Someone told me just to remove the chip in clicking it to the trash can and voilá - it would be done. But as I did so, on the screen appeared a text which let me know, that that way had been the wrong one...
    I should have clicked Finder plus something.... which I do not now remember but which was then not found behind the Finder.
    So please would someone be so kind and tell me, where I can find explanations for the most simple functions. The manual I got does not include a clue.
    Thank you!

    First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
    Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
    Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
    Here is a detailed help document on the subject.
