LinkBucks and Ultrafiles REMOVAL

THIS IS A BROWSER REDIRECTION INFECTION
No known Malware Protection/detection will help!
How it works:  You pick it up on a web site and it then infects your browser.
It rapidly spreads to your wifi hub and the many other items of your network infrastructure
Finding for the hidden/embedded infection files is near impossible
REMOVAL
Close Down WiFi
Remove any RG45/CAT5 Connection
Delete Completely - all traces of: Firefox, Opera and Chrome
Reset Safari using Shift + Alt + Reset
Re-Install Firefox, Opera and Chrome
POWER DOWN every item on your network
Reboot Your Network
Reconnect WiFi and test
IFF it is normal :-)
IFF NOT:  Reset & Reinstall your browser + remove and power down every item on your network
Rebuild and reboot form your first hub/router and then test.  You Should be clear !!
THEN connect one item at a time testing each one for infection
I DO NOT KNOW if it infects printers + scanners et al+++ but mine are OK

How it works:  You pick it up on a web site and it then infects your browser.
Nope. There's no known malware capable of infecting your browser simply by visiting a web site... not on a Mac, anyway. There is adware that can cause ads in your browser, if you download and install something you shouldn't. That requires manually opening some download, though.
It rapidly spreads to your wifi hub and the many other items of your network infrastructure
Nope. There's no known Mac malware capable of infecting other devices on your network. Even other Macs cannot be automatically infected by any current Mac malware. Wireless routers can be hacked remotely, of course, and a number of models are extremely vulnerable to such attacks.
As for your "removal instructions," those don't make a whole lot of sense. Most Mac adware will sit there laughing at your attempts to remove it that way, and be ready to start pestering you again as soon as you open up a browser again.
You need to refer to:

  • My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

    My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

    Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

  • How to close a frozen warning: I am unable to close the "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning on my pages. Untill warning is closed I can not save my document. How can I get my document saved?

    I have an unsaved document open in pages but can not save it because the, "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning is open and I can not close the warning. How can i get the warning to close so I can save my document? Can I save the document without closing the warning?

    Probably not, but as you will have been unable to make any changes to the document with that warning window open, you're not going to lose anything by quitting (or force quitting) without saving. You'll still have the original document you were trying to import.
    I would suggest attempting to open the document in one of the open source Office applications, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, or NeoOffice, each available for download from the linked sites. Once open there, remove the attributes that are causing the warning, save the file (as an MS Word document), then try opening that version in Pages.

  • A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

    A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
    PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

    Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
    Also see:

    i work with Numbers on my MiniMac and then save the files as Excel because the university only works with Windows.
    Numbers is not an Excel clone. Importing and exporting between Numbers and Excel will eventually build up glitches.
    If the university only works with 'Windoze' it might be better if you use Excel or a free version of Office (for example, Libre Office or Open Office).
    If your marks depend upon a professor who uses Excel, go with the flow.

    You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • I just had my iphone updated and it removed all of my apps and all of the photos I had taken since my previous update. Can I get those photos back?

    I just had my iphone up dated using my little MacBook, it has been a while since I have done so, and it removed all of my apps all of my photos, and blanked out my calendar. Is there a way to get at least the photos? Can someone help me?
    Thanks

    I had typed out an detailed explanation in response to your question, and when I went to upload it there was an error message,
    This is what happened when the phone was syncing. It only allowed the "option" to restore after that.  Just like my original message to you, all of it disappeared when trying it resolve and discover what was the error. I had not clicked on either helpful or correct answer and when I explored what they were I got the same result.  I am  person that uses my apple products in limited ways as I need them. It is this type of frustrating result that keeps my use limited.

    Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
    You need to put the files into itunes.
    Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.
