Malware/virus removal?

hi i have a 5k retina 27 in.  late 2014 imac with OSX yosemite 10.10.2
i think i have a malware or virus or something as the whole computer is running slow and programs like microsoft word, mail, firefox and DRAGON DICTATE FOR MAC 4 have begun functioning incorrectly! the omputer starts as normal though on shutdown it always displays the message 'do you want to quit installer' with the  options to 'abort' or 'continue' but then shuts down before i click anything!
any    suggestions as to how i can stop this and revert back to having these programs running properly?
please help!    

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

  • I was told by comcast that we had a computer in the house with a malware virus, they even said that they were going to terminate our service if we did not get it fixed. Now this week we hear that there is a trojan malware virus, how do we get rid of it?

    Hello,
    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

    what is the best virus remover and protector for 10.5.8 version of mac os x???  I  have this thing called macprotector that keeps popping up and trying to get into my computer.  I have heard of a maleware remover...

    First you do NOT I repeat DO NOT have a virus, currently there are no virus's for OS X.  This means you do not need antivirus software, if you insist on installing antivirus software then I'd recommend ClamXav. You have what is called a Trojan, the primary difference between the two is the user has to give permission for a Trojan to download and install itself. The one you got is going around right now however the good news it's quite easy to get rid of. Please read the following article for instructions.

  • Safari affected, maybe, malware & virus worries

    About 4-5 days ago I was using Mozilla, and now I'm scared I picked up malware, so now mostly only on Safari.  Even so, I'm worried about doing online banking until I know what's up.  Despite that, I did online banking on Safari today, and the pages wouldn't load, or weren't clickable.  Also, I'm getting blank screens on Safari.  It all started after this happened a number of days ago, so I want to do a scan…. but newish to the Apple world, so don't want to screw things up even more (potentially) - by installing some incompatible malware/virus scanner.
    From the other day:
    has anyone's Macbook Pro ever been hacked? I was using Mozilla, just opened a twitter acct, was trying to cross link with G+, and all of a sudden all this weird stuff was happening: url bars erasing on its own (and fast), pages jumping from window to window, 2 unread msgs in Gmail later marked as read. I shut down and restarted. I don't know if it's a key stroke I did or if I may've been hacked. worried.
    Most recent thing today:  I just went to Dailymotion with Safari to watch a film/video.  This never happened on Mozilla (I have adblocker), but I got a popup window in the middle of the video offering something to speed up my mac:  I'm not sure if it was macdefender, but I think it actually mackeeper.  I quickly closed the Dailymotion tab…. and posted this message.
    I would like to do some kind of scan on my mac, but am worried about installing any kind of free software to do this.  I'd also want to remove the software when I'm done.  So, here's the thing.  I'm more of an everyday, casual macbook pro user (10.7.5 OSX, refurbished)… so if responses get too technical, I'm afraid I may not be able to understand everything.  Thank you… (also, the Apple store sells virus software, but they won't somehow vouch for it… what's up with that?  (I would be willing to buy the lower cost one))….
    Any help for this semi-Luddite would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Australian federal police malware/virus - firefox

    2 days ago I bought a brand new MacBook Pro, last night I tried to open Firefox and the Australian Federal Police Malware/Virus blocked the page asking for $300. I turned it off by holding down the power button. i turned it on today and firefox opened and couldn't recover the current page 'AFP' and now all seems fine. I'm aware there probably is still something in the background. How do I find out and how do I get rid of it. All of the instructions I can find online are for PC or for Mac but using the safari browser.
    PLEASE HELP

    Thanks for the checkmark, but now I must post an addendum thanks to an apparent dumb move by Mozilla today.
    They released Firefox v23 and removed the option to disable JavaScript via Preferences->Content, so...
    I haven't fully tested this yet (since I haven't found any of those infected sites yet), but in order to disable JavaScript in Firefox you must now type "about:config" without the quotes in the address (URL) bar. It will give you a warning about voiding the warrantee, whatever that's supposed to mean, just agree to "be careful".
    Now type "javascript.enabled" without quotes in the search window and double-click the word "true" in the Value column of the first line with that Preference Name, changing it to "false".
    After backing out of the infected page go through the last two steps again changing "false" to "true" to re-enable JavaScript.

  • Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?

    Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?
    Attempted to re-install the original Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro from the disk provided with the purchase; and it has put me in a trial; and is requesting that I purchase the software I already paid for, two years ago.

    You can try a repair (may need to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features). A reinstall is a last resort, but if you go there be sure to uninstall from the control panel, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any part left of the Acrobat folder. Then reboot as the administrator and reinstall. Be sure to disable antivirus during the install.

    I had a pop up which turned out to be a malware virus on my iPad how do I get rid of it

    I didn't know you could even get one with an iPad.  Are you sure it installed something?  I see them pop up for my computer occasionally but they will pop up for any computer whether or not they can actually do anything or not.
    I'll let more experienced heads answer this one but they will certainly want to know the name of what it was you saw, unless it really is a case of nothing to worry about.

  • No internet access after virus removed

    MacAfee anti virus removed a Trojan (zeroaccess) after which my desktop computer lost ability to connect to the internet. MacAfee told me to contact my ISP after we did various tests that confirmed that the computer does not connect to the internet (i.e., "ping test"?).  Other computer in the house connects to FIOS internet wirelessly with no problem.  I don't think that the problem is with FIOS or the router but is due to changes in programs caused by the virus. Is this something that Verizon can help with or not? MacAfee wants to access my computer remotely to repair damage done by the virus but without internet access they can't help me.

    Make sure you have no proxies.  Virus's often create proxy settings and that is usually what kills your connection. 
    Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Internet Explorer.
    Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
    Make sure nothing has checkmarks there.
    Afterwards, 
    Using the ping command to test the connection between your computer and the router or gateway
    Using the ping command to verify your Internet connection
    Post back the results.   Also let us know if you are wired, or wireless 

  • Malware virus/virus software

    I went into a website yesterday that after I was in gave a malware virus warning. I'm pretty ignorant on virus, trojans and malware as to what could be infected and how. I don't want to do banking or use anything that uses a password.By going into the site, could my computer have some malware? Is there a software program, other than clamx, that would help? I've used it to scan my address book, but not sure what else to scan.
    Thanks,

    Unless you go to a site or use a utility that "scans" your system for malware & virus, then this is a dubious & misleading ad. usually the ads themselves link to the bad wares!
    I'm pretty ignorant on virus, trojans and malware as to what could be infected and how.
    Never run installer files or open files you don't know what they are, where it came from. Don't open spam msgs or notes from grandma that have "LOL" or "OMG" in the subject line - really what I mean is if there is language you don't normally hear them say or write normally, it's usually a trap.
    I don't want to do banking or use anything that uses a password.By going into the site, could my computer have some malware?
    never click on a link going to your bank, esp. from an email. always type the address. most banking sites support MFA - multi factor authentication, meaning you are asked some questions (personal you set up ahead of time, image captions, PINs, etc). make sure it's an https & not just http.
    esp. if you have an ATM card, you are no safer by not banking online. hackers can & have broken into banking systems, even accts of people that don't bank online or even own computers. I know people that don't bank period - all cash, cash paper payroll checks, & send money orders to pay bills.
    Is there a software program, other than clamx, that would help? I've used it to scan my address book, but not sure what else to scan.
    there are some commerical utilities, just like for windows. a virus or malware can bury itself into a system folder, system files, applications, documents, images are the main examples. really, pretty much anywhere. A full complete scan of the entire system drive is really the only way to "find" anything.
    I've done one of these scans once. found ONE file, a word doc from a windows user, a classmate from high school. we had worked on a project together.
    If you don't look at adult content, gamble, or try to file share, you are fine. if you install software, versiontracker.com & macupdate.com do an ok job of listing legit software. not all of it is really good software, but they typically don't post or allow apps that harbor malware.

    Hi, likely neither.

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

    Do you have any exp. guys that your ipad3 infected with malware virus?

    There is no malware for the iPad, unless you have jailbroken it. If you have not jailbroken it, whatever problem you are having that prompts you to ask about viruses is not caused by malware, guaranteed.

  • Has anyone tried the Malware checker/remover by etresoft?

    Was just wondering if anyone else had tried the Malware checker by etresoft?
    It is posted here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3271
    What kind of experience did you have?
    I posted this:
    etresoft --
    I downloaded and now have run your malware checker, and it asks me if I want to Delete or Keep a file::
    Delete file 'com.apple.CSConfigDotMacCert-mynamehere(AT symbol here)me.comSharedServices.Agent.plist' that runs program '/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/CSConfigD otMacCert'?
    The first time I ran the checker and just chose Keep.  It then asked a similar question and I chose Keep again.  Then it checked programs, etc.  I rebooted and ran it again, and go the same message.  This time, I just did not answer and the script time ran out.
    What does this mean?  Do I have malware??
    Should I delete the file?
    How do I proceed?

    Has anyone else used this Malware checker/remover??
    Would appreciate your input and opinion.  Thank you.

    I suspect it means you have or have had a MobileMe account. I can't be sure because I've never used .mac or MobileMe.

    It's very unlikely, IMHO.
    Should I delete the file?
    No. Do not delete it.
    How do I proceed?
    If that's all the script found, business as usual.

  • Does the IHandy flashlight app contain malware? ? If so what are the removal steps to insure the malware is removed??

    Does the anyone know if the IHandy flashlight app contain malware?? If so what are the removal steps to insure the malware is removed??

    There is no malware that can affect an iPhone unless it's been jailbroken.
    Some apps request to do things, like access your location or contacts, and can continue to do so in the background. If this app requested permission for either of these things, you should delete it. A flashlight app has no need for such information.
