    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, 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 more recent discussions or start a new one.

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

  • How do I keep getting charged for free apps

    Hi I keep getting charged for downloading free game apps for my son. Why is this
    I've been charged about £33.00 now for all different games that are ment to be free

    It sounds like your son made in app purchases. These are very common with free games.
    The games themselves are free, but the app developers offer in app purchases in order to add enhancements or add levels, and things like that. Stay away from those "free" games or read the app description carefully. The prices for in app purchases are listed on the left side of the app description page under the app icon.
    You can turn off in app purchases in Settings>General>Restrictions. Or you can instruct your son to not make any purchases without your knowledge. In all fairness to your son .. Since I have no idea how old he is .... He may not even realize that he did make purchases .... Except for the fact that you have to enter your Apple ID password in order to make those purchases.

  • I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out.

    I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out every time.  Can you help.

    You don't have to update to iOS 6.0.1. A few iOS 6 users have reported problems, but most have not. However, for my iPad 2 I'm waiting until iOS 6.1 is released. iOS 6 doesn't add that much for the iPad 2, and it subtracts YouTube and Google Maps apps.

    Hi Lutonpete,

    I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts for different “Local Items” keychain passwords and know how frustrating this situation can be. There is a solution to this issue however. Please use the steps and information in the attached article to resolve this issue.

  • Keep getting asked for my password for email.  Says my POP server rejected my password.  How do I fix this?

    I keep getting asked for my password for email.  Says my POP server "pop.charter.net" rejected the password.  In the past I just went into my email and it came up automatically.

    In Keychain, in the Keychain window, select "login". In the category window, select passwords.
    In the name field, look for name of your outgoing server for that account (like smtp.mail.yahoo.com, outbound.att.net, or whatever outgoing server you have).
    Just highlight it and delete it. Delete any and all for that account.
    You also may want to check and make sure all your outgoing server settings are correct in Mail preferences. If any info is incorrect, it will not work. Sometimes providers change servers and you don't know about it. You may want to check that if the Keychain fix doesn't work.

    There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    e.g. if doing it on your phone then go to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app, tap on your id, tap 'view apple id' on the popup and sign in, and on your account's page there should be subscriptions section.

    If you purchased a serial number, then click on "License this Product". You will be asked to sign in with your Adobe ID/password and you will be asked for a serial number, or you might click on "I have a serial number".  Once you enter the serial number, it should be properly activated as a permanent license.

  • HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.
