How to uninstall tunemymac virus?

how to uninstall tunemymac virus?

That would be considered junk ware or adware, almost
malware; if you installed it, that should be removed.
Evidence suggests, if you see something, it's installed.
If you got it indirectly from softonic, or some other site
you could use the Adware Removal Guide at safemac
to help be rid of it. There also is a link to the ? maker
of TuneMyMac where they say there is a removal tool.
So many of these tools from badware makers don't work.
Look into removal at Adware Removal Guide

  • How to uninstall malicious viruses Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy and Trojan.FakeAV Download

    I got a screen that states Warning: System may have found viruses on your computer.  It references Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy and Trojan.FakeAV-Download.
    I can no longer get onto Safari without directing me to the address:
    macibr.com/mac/ibr-2?sub_id=008612858011772470948
    There is a pop up window that reads:
    Http://macibr.com
    WARNING! Please Install Update To Continue.
    How do I get rid of this warning? There isn't an appointment in the Apple store for two days.
    Anyone had experience with this?

    These are most likely scams. Ignore them. You do not have to do a thing.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
    You Don’t Have a Virus and Don’t Pay Money to Remove
    This is not a virus nor is it pop-up adware. Fortunately, it doesn’t affect anything but the browser, and it can be easily removed.
    If it has opened a tab or window, then close the window by pressing COMMAND-W. A large box may pop open. Press the RETURN key which should dismiss the box and close the page.
    If the above does not work then try the following:
         1. Select Safari preferences. Click on the Security icon in the toolbar.
         2. Locate the checkbox labeled, Enable JavaScript, and uncheck the box. Do not
             close the preferences dialog.
         3. Close the bad window or tab.
         4. Re-check the JavaScript box and close the preferences dialog.
    If the Preferences menuitem is inactive then quit or force quit Safari. Run Safari by holding down the SHIFT key while clicking Safari’s Dock icon. Select Safari preferences and click on the Privacy icon in the toolbar. At the top is a dropdown menu labeled, “Cookies and other website date.” Click on the Remove All Website Data… button.
    Check your Downloads folder for anything you don’t recognize or remember downloading and delete it.
    Also see: I just got a "warning: system may have found viruses on your computer" message on safari.

  • How to uninstall norton anti virus for mac

    how to uninstall norton anti virus for mac

    A little late to the game, but .sit files are Stuffit files as developed by http://www.stuffit.com/ Apple used to use this compression format, but does no longer, and no longer includes the free Stuffit Expander program made by Stuffit.com. If you need to extract an old .sit uninstaller, get it from Stuffit.com. And also any company making such a program for Mac OS X should seriously consider upgrading their downloads to be .dmg.zip files instead, which are more easy to extract on Mac OS X without downloading extra software.

    Hi All,
    i uninstalled AV successfully using as below mentioned links:
    Moved to VirusScan Other where hopefully an expert can help you.
    Until they do I Googled 'How to uninstall VirusScan 8.6 for MAC' and got this as one of the many choices:  https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB54975
    There are also uninstall instructions in the User Guide: https://kc.mcafee.com/resources/sites/MCAFEE/content/live/PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/ 22000/PD22134/en_US/VirusScan%20for%20Mac%208.6.1%20User%20Guide%20Addendum.pdf
    By condemning files to the bin you may have scotched any automated method of removal but I will defer to the experts on that.
    Thanks lot,

  • How to uninstall mckeeper

    how to uninstall mckeeper?

    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Do not empty the Trash after dragging the MacKeeper application to it. Let the application delete itself.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • How to uninstall Tuneup my mac?

    Hi,
    Did a search on this site and found a post on how to uninstall Tuneup my mac by
    1) Opening tuneup in launch pad
    2)  clicking on help
    3)  clicking on uninstall
    Easy right?
    well it seems like the good folks at tuneup my mac have now removed the uninstall option from the help menu....
    I never wanted this program, it got installed in my macbook when I went on a binge of installing free  music Synthesizer Apps, I have no idea which one of the apps snuck it through and just one look at Tuneup My Mac tells me it's a malware program, at worst, or at the very least least a pest of a program that is potentially harmful.  I am loathe to even capitalize the name of the thing.... hahahha.
    I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to computers but I am to Apple and that said I don't understand code at this point, I mostly use computers as music creation tools working with preexisting programs.
    I will apologize now if this thread has already been discussed here, as i said my search led me to a thread offering a solution that since seems to have been circumvented by the lovely people at tuneup.
    Any feedback would be welcome,
    Thank you.

    If you first installed it from Cnet or Softonic you have a necessary, though unpleasant lesson to swallow.   Never install anything from either of these sites which are well known to inject all sorts of nasties into your download.

    I don't think this will fix your problem with restoring your iPhone 4 though. That is likely a seperate issue.
    but i can do it with any windows?
    Yes, you can theoretically restore your iPhone with any computer running the most current version of iTunes (10.6.3) unless there is some other issue.
    I get error code(21)
    According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21:
    "These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
    Do you run any anti-virus or third-party firewalls on your computer? Try disabling them and trying the restore process again. It may be possible that one of these security applications is interfering with the iPhone's ability to authenticate with Apple's servers.

  • HELP!  I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UNINSTALL LIMEWIRE OR SIGN ON TO AOL!!!

    Hello all! I need serious help. I've installed Limewire, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. I don't want it anymore. I'm afraid it has given me a virus or something terrible that I won't be able to get rid of. And another thing, my AOL won't open anymore. I've restarted my iBook many times, but after the blue screen for AOL comes up and the percentage goes up to 100%, the entire box just disappears and I'm left looking at my background. Please help, anyone! Thank you.

    Hey Alli
    Try restarting your computer, then dragging Limewire to the trash.
    If that doesn't work, you can also check Activity Monitor to see if Limewire is running.
    Activity Monitor is in the "Applications" folder under "Utilities" Use Activity Monitor to Stop Limewire if it is running.
    Hope I've helped!

  • How to Uninstall Leopard Upgrade and go back to Tiger

    I would like to go back to Tiger and was wondering how to uninstall the Leopard upgrade without having to do a full reformat. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    First, welcome to the Apple boards.
    Backup what you have because it probably contains things from the original update you want to keep - network settings, passwords, etc. A bootable clone is your best bet - and test it out.
    Then you need to format your HD (full, not quick) with the Leopard DVD and then reboot with the Tiger CD and install it. I am not sure how much you can migrate "downwards" from the Leopard backup, but some things will probably come along OK. Not sure about mail since it was converted by Leopard - will it unconvert? Don't know.
    I have read of some who tried to simply install Tiger over Leopard but the results were less than great. You can try it once you have that clone backup, because you won't be losing anything.
    I would suggest unplugging the clone during the erase and install process until you get to the migration point.

    I have a brand new Leopard based MacBook Pro that I need to revert to its previous cat form of Tiger. Would you mind walking me through it? I have Tiger disks that came with another MacBook Pro so those should have all of the machine specific items I will need. As I understand this, I start the computer from the included Leopard disk and do a full format. (I noticed that there is a new partition style named GUID Partition, is this Leopard only?) Next, I load in my Tiger disks and install from those? I do not need to do any system backups as I have no information on this computer as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Brian

    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • How to uninstall pages 5 on iPad 2?

    I still use pages 4 on my Mac, and have updated my iPad2 to iOS7 and spontenuously to pages 5 as well. Then, I can't read on my Mac a document in iCloud that was altered on my iPad with pages 5. Of course, to update my Mac to pages 5 would solve this, but I'd still like to use the features on pages4. Does anybody know how to uninstall pages 5 on iPad and revert back to pages4?

    Hi there,
    is your app stuck in "loading status"? Or are you trying to cancel an ongoing loading process?
    if stuck:
    Perform a reset of your ipad.
    Hold down home-button and on/off-button together for about 10 seconds (Ipad will first show you it´s shut-off-screen, then will turn, then will show apple logo again <- that´s where you release).
    After doing so my "faulty" app restored properly, I hav no more issues.
    If in loading stage and you would like to cancel:
    You will need to wait for loading and installation to complete.
    Then press and hold down finger on any app. Apps start shaking and (if not proper to ipads iOS) will show a small circled "x" above left, press that "x", you will be asked if you really wish to delete, press ok. Done.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards
    Max
