Linkbucks virus

Does anyone know how can I get rid of a virus that appear a website each time I am browsing? It takes me to a linkbucks website.

Other than don't use the app?
Try accessing your facebook via safari. I've much preferred that to their app which I personally declared horrible years ago.
Honestly, facebook cares more that they DO sell ads than what those ads contain (ever notice all the Dr Oz ads? Which are ones he doesn't get behind but rather people using his name to sell stuff, he's denounced all of them, they still appear on facebook as to various other companies that one may feel are dodgy or questionable.)
I recently started using an app that might help, weblock. It was free when I downloaded it, but it's adblock for iPads. Seems to work pretty good.
But basically, if an app is redirecting you somewhere you don't want to go your only real remedy is to not use the app.

How to remove linkbucks virus

What is the best way to remove this redirect virus from the browser please?

My experience and action clearing all dvices and network
THIS IS A BROWSER REDIRECTION INFECTION
No known Malware Protection/detection will help!
How it works: You pick it up on a web site or some other connected device and it then infects your browser.
It rapidly spreads to hubs and 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
Reset Safari using Shift + Alt + Reset (For Mac)
Reset Firefox, Opera and Chrome (reinstall if absolutely necessry)
POWER DOWN every item on your network (I haven't investigated precisely which items act as hosts)
Reboot Your Network
Reconnect WiFi and test
All should be normal
I have been clear for weeks

Is LinkBucks a virus that infects apple computers? I have and is driving me mad

Everytime I try to open a page with any of the search engine machines (google, yahoo, google chrome etc) this page called LinkBuks keeps popping up and does not allow me to do anything else on the internet. Has anybody had the same problem?

See Eliminating browser redirects and advertisements. There are a number of possible explanations and fixes there, and some tests you can run to determine which are appropriate.

Virus on ipad and iphone when i was abroad how to delete it

while i was abroad i have picked up what i think is a virus on my ipad mini and iphone 5 also another person in my hotel had same problem . When we are usinf safari it send us to a link ultrafiles.net ( linkbucks.com )everytime when try and open a new page how do i get rid of this ?

It's not a virus. As of this point in time, there is no known virus for the iPad. (a virus is defined as a malicious program that propogates itself across your operating system, the sandbox nature of the ipad prevents that)
Try going into your settings, safari, and clear the cookies and data and history. It will mean that you need to re-sign into sites, etc, but what I think you're getting hit by is a browser cookie that's basically hijacking the browser to send it to another site. Getting rid of the history and cookies should take care of it.

I am having trouble with a redirect virus; how to fix?

I think I have a virus or spyware on my computer. It redirects me to a third-party site (something like LinkBucks) when I try to visit Facebook, Google or YouTube. This happens in both Safari and in Mozilla Firefox. I have tried scanning with ClamX, MacScan, but they are not finding any viruses. I also downloaded a kit that scans the computer for DNS redirect changer viruses, but it can't find any. What should I do now?

I have been seeing a few of these over the past few days, so it could be something new, but let me give you a couple of suggestions for what has been discovered in the last couple of weeks.
Here's an AppleScript written by fane_j which will check for what we know about the last two Flashback Trojans. Open Script Editor (/Applications/Apple Script/) then copy and paste what follows into the window:
--script begins
property theItems : {"defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment", "ls -al /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/*COAA*", "java -version 2>&1"}
on run
          set myClip to ""
          repeat with i in theItems
                    try
do shell script i
                              set myClip to myClip & result & return & return
                    on error errText
                              set myClip to myClip & i & " -- " & errText & return & return
                              set myClip to result
                    end try
          end repeat
set the clipboard to myClip
end run
--script ends
Press the run button. Results will be on your clipboard which you can paste into a text document, e-mail or back here.
It performs three checks:
The first will identify whether or not you have the Flashback.G Trojan (as well as a couple of earlier versions). If you are infected it will look something like this:
   "DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES" = "/Users/Shared/.<dylib_filename>.so";
If it says that, STOP everything and return here for instructions! Do not attempt any file deletions or you can easily lock yourself out of your account.
If it says anything else or cannot find the file, you are OK on this one.
The second test looks for the Flashback.N Trojan, but since we have not been able to find anybody who was infected yet and the information on it is incomplete, there's no assurances for this one.
The third checks to see what version of Java you have. If it says anything less than 1.6.0_29 followed by some other alpha-numerics, you are vulnerable to being infected without any action on your part other than visiting a web site. In such a case use Software Update to get the latest patch.
The other suggestion would be to check for the old DNSChanger by visiting the site http://www.dcwg.org/checkup.html, click on "Mac OSX" in the left box and follow the directions.
If that's OK then click on "Checking Via Browser" and follow those directions.
It's possible that your router is infected, but unfortunately they still have not posted instructions for that.
To fix any problems you find click on the "Cleanup" tab at the top.
Feel free to read anything else on the site you might be curious about.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Flash Player para de funcinar ao desinstalar o anti-virus

Comprei um computador que veio com o McAfee para testar por um mes, como nao pretendia usar este anti-virus desinstalei ele para colocar outro, so que apos desinstala-lo o flash player parou de funcionar no internet explorer e o gadget do windows tambem, ele ficou somente um ponto borrado na tela com a opcao de fechar.
Fiz a instalacao e desinstalacao do flash player varias vezes, mas nao resolveu nada, tentei ate deletar alguns arquivos na pasta do windows/macromed/flash, mas tambem nao resolveu, o unico jeito foi restaurar o sistema para antes de tirar o anti virus, quando fiz isso o flash voltou a funcionar normalmente.
Agora preciso saber como tirar esse anti-virus e deixar o flash funcionando. Obs.: meu sistema e windows 7 home premium 64bits

Virus TI au and vst plugin in logic 8

i've seen two cases where it causes massive crashes and lock ups. i hope access and apple fix this ASAP. it's really ******* my friends off...

With the 2.5 beta my Virus TI behaves like that in Logic 7.2 aswell, so I'm afraid this is not a problem for Apple to fix, rather Access Music.
The 2.5 beta update have helped in alot of areas, but it still freezes my computer up from time to time when launching the plugin.

Will it harm my Mac if I download the Graboid Video? Does it contain a virus or something like that?

If you are using this program will you let me know if it is safe or not? I'll look forward for your answers.

There's no virus in graboid. I downloaded this some weeks ago to try it out but like all .pkg's I don't necessarily trust I didn't install it but use Pacifist to see what the installer would install and extract the desired parts.
The GraboidVideoMac.app is really all I needed from the installer. The installer tries to install it's own par2, unrar, and an older VLC.app (1.0.3, VLC is up to 1.1.12). I didn't want this stuff installed since I already have these things in my desired places.
You have to set up an account which you can do from the GraboidVideoMac.app. Problem is the amount you can download is limited (2 Megs I think). After that you need to pay. Screw that. So I just forgot all about using it.

I ran a virus/trojan fix and this is what it said it could not repair something in the main library core or something like that. What do I do? The problem seems to be with safari?

I ran the utility disk and this is what it said.

Permission apllication differ on System/livrary/Pr or could be -rw-r--r-- they are rwxr-xr-x Application/iTune be droxr-xr-x they are rwxr-xr-x
Then I hit fix permissions and it said this

I also downloaded Bitdefender Virus Scanner and it found nothing.

Could this be a Mail virus or something like it?

Just received an e-mail as follows:
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[email protected]>
Subject: Returned Mail: User unknown
Date: November 27, 2005 10:41:55 AM AKST
To: (my e-mail address here)
The message indicates that the mail was returned to me because there was a problem with the delivery (The following addresses had permanent fatal errors..."):
That paragraph is followed by a batch of 17 e-mail addresses, each with a user name beginning with the letters "p" and the letter "d," but every one of them addresses @ aol.com
The Remote for each e-mail was: Remote-MTA: DNS; air-yc01.mail.aol.com
X-Mailer Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2002
Please note that I have never used Outlook Express. In fact, I don't think it's installed on my Mac. Also, here is where I think the problem is at:
Reply-To-"PEA" <(my e-mail address is shown in here)>
From: "Peabody" <(my e-mail address again shown in here)>
Does it mean that somebody used my e-mail addressfor mass e-mail, or is it a virus? Nobody has my e-mail address, except for a couple of friends, and I have never answered to anybody I don't know personally.

Not a virus since there are no viruses that currently affect OS X which has been available for 5 years.

A tab popped up wich said Mozzilla Security, the web page seemed to scan my computer, stated it was infested with several viruses, and that I should download protection immediatly. Is this legit?

A new tab opened up on my tool bar labeled Mozilla Security. The website looks like your security warning. But the security button is gray, McAfee doesn't recognize the site, and the web address does not contain Mozilla.com. The web address of this pop up page is: http://update89.modyett.co.be/index.php?Q57hGtS5bW5G7Hr+M0lEZy4rE7T40TcfocDyRAcjpCPVLS/PhAEpv1Hgq9vgx1qxsLunLyiXHnwwL5T3qX/CE0Q/ZRXJp+2mKYsC+kRq
Do I have a virus, as it states, or is this uninvited web page trying to install a virus? What should I do?

Just because it said Mozilla Security in the title bar does not mean it is from Mozilla as Mozilla nor the Firefox browser has ever done such a thing.
This sounds like one of those fake animated scanners which claims it is scanning your computer and then says you are infected with such and such. It then suggests to download something that will be what really infects your computer if using Windows. As long as you did not download and install this whatever.exe then you should be safe. Though you may want to scan your computer with whatever antivirus software you have with updated definitions just to be safer.
This sort of thing is even more obvious on being fake when Linux and Mac users can encounter these pages.

Could I have windows update virus on my macbook pro?

Since last week I have suddenly had what I think must be a virus where a message suddenly flashes up telling me that my java is out of date or that windows "has detected you need to update winupdate videos" and starts a countdown with no option to cancel or delete so I have to exit safari. It seems to happen most frequently when I'm on AOL. I've downloaded avast but that doesn't seem to be finding it and I've checked for software updates in case there is a patch but there are no software updates apparently. Anyone else had this? Got any ideas?

Well that does change things a bit. You probably know by now that Apple has terminated support for Snow Leopard and did not provide an earlier update for Java 6 and just this week failed to provide a Security Update. It probably won't take long for malware developers to start attacking SL vulnerabilities as we've seen in the past with older versions of MicroSoft Word (for example) and I'm sure we will see when Windows XP reaches end-of-life in April. So you need to start thinking about an OS X upgrade.
I just went looking for a browser extension that blocks ads - any recommendations?
I agree with Network 23 on AdBlock. Either ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin (don't use both & I use the latter since it does more) will result in faster browsing, reduced fan usage, and increased battery life.

Could I have a virus

Well - having had a virus myself all Christmas I am wondering whether my Mac also has one. This morning, before heading back home, my son (a complete mac head) decided that I should have the most up to date flash player downloaded onto my imac. Did a repair disk permissions following this. I was then using Firefox on the highways agency website when everything froze and I had to force quit. Both Safari and Firefox now seem to have slowed right down and when quitting Firefox a few minutes ago found a popup on my desktop. This was again after quitting the highways agency traffic information website. This has never happened before.
Is there a possibility that when downloading the flash player my son also downloaded something else as well. I think he downloaded it from macupdate.com.
In any case, is there any way I can check if something is amiss or can anyone recommend a virus scanner?
Thanks
Ann

I think a virus is unlikely. If the version he installed is the one listed here:
http://search.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=flash&os=mac
it is a beta version.
You could uninstall it using this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
then download the latest stable version following this link:
