OS X Mavericks :: Virus / Can't Get Rid Of Popups

Sep 1, 2014

whenever I search something in Google, the results will come up, and then about 2 seconds later, other random text and links will appear. The most annoying part though is that whenever I click on ANYTHING, whether it be a link or a field to fill in, it takes me to various "mac cleaner" websites. I haven't downloaded any of those sites, yet it's started happening in the last day and appears to be getting worse. There are also random ads appearing on every website I go to, that never appeared before. For example, at the google home page, there are now random ads all over the bottom of it.  

I have tried to manage my cookies and pop ups, I've deleted chrome and reinstalled it again, I have restarted my computer, nothing seems to be working! I've tried all three of my web browsers - safari, chrome and firefox, and they all do the same thing.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Get Rid Of Excessive Popups / Ads And Unwanted Redirects

Sep 11, 2014

About month or two ago, I started getting excessive ads on my computer. Scams, Microsoft stuff, Adobe Flash upgrades hat were obviously fake. The ads generally appeared on the pay, but evolved to gene ate separate tabs and windows. It gets really annoying when i can't click twice without getting a scam, or being redirected. I don't know if there are similar topics. i'm not going to look cause in the 5 minutes it took for me to write this, I've been redirected TWICE.

Hardware :: Connection To Internet - Acts Like Searching For Wireless Router And Can't Find It

Aug 28, 2010

Recently I have been having issues loading internet content. When I try to load almost any website, my internet browser acts like it is searching for my wireless router and can't find it. However, when I use my PSP to connect to the internet from the same spot, it works perfectly fine. The PSP usually says there is a 70% connection, which is better than it has ever been. My router and laptop are on the same floor only a room away.

I have other people in my house that share the router: 6 computers; 4 are laptops that are used more often than the 2 desktops, 4 iPod Touches; 2 of which are never used. I had everyone turn off Bluetooth on all devices since none of us use that feature and that didn't help all.

I honestly don't know what the problem is, but if I had to make a guess, it would be all of the things that our devices can connect to with AirPort. There is Motorola, 2WIRE017, 2WIRE160, 2WIRE417, 2WIRE730, MartinWirelessRouter, NorzWireless, NETGEAR, schooly, and stackdaddy. I think all of these wireless connections are disrupting one another, which is what I thought was causing the problem. The only one I ever care to connect to is Motorola, so is there a way to prevent my computer from even recognizing anything else?

OS X Mavericks :: Spam Malware In Chrome Browsing On IMac 10.9.4

Aug 22, 2014

I'm having trouble with Browsers.  I rotate between Safari, Aurora, and Chrome. But all three of them eventually choke of resources and hog the cpu.  Sometimes quitting the broswer works but most of the time, I reboot of OS X is needed to clean up the resource logjam.My practice of using a lot of windows and tabs is at least part of it.  But if varys on different days.  Thist week began a new bothersome and worrisome behavior that has malware fingerprints.  Sometimes when I click on a link on a window that is "normal" size (say 60% height and 60% width of screen), a full screen pops up over everything and something I didn't ask for shows up.  There are several cases of what shows up. 

1.  Some times it is a window that advises me to clean up my Mac offering a tool to do that (I've seen this offer all the time but I cannot recall which one it is but it is very common--I think the thing that was offered was Mac Keeper about which I have heard bad things so I avoid it.  It appears to have a foot hold on my system).  clock the red close button on the window (or Cmd-W) and it disappears and the window it came from reappears and is functional.  I can no click the same link I had used before and now it works.  Sometimes,but not always, later windows as I navigate do the same thing. 

2.  Today, when I went to URL.../support and clicked on discussions, a full scren window popped up with the URL.....or some other thing - I've only captured the two URLs. If I close that popped up window

OS X Mavericks :: Underscore In Filename Prevents Searching In Finder?

Dec 10, 2014

I've recently discovered that while searching in Finder I am not getting any results of files that have underscores in their file names. For example, a photographer sent over hundreds of files that are named "IMG_1234.jpg." When I search in that folder for any files named "34", I get no results, even though I can see the file is right there. Files with names like "AC-1234.jpg" are fine and come up in the results right away.  

What gives with the underscore? Is this a Mavericks thing? I've never had this issue before with Finder. Is there a setting I can change to include these file names in my search results?

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail Search Not Searching Gmail Archive?

Aug 28, 2014

I recently got a new iMac and backed up from Time Machine.  Everything is fine apart from Apple Mail, which no longer searches my Gmail archive.  The archive is still there, all 33,000 messages, but just not searchable. 

So, for example, if I got an email from a guy called George a month ago, when I search 'George' nothing comes up.  I can manually go to the Archive and find the email but obviously that takes a lot of time. 

Is this an Apple issue or a Gmail issue?  Given that I run the same account on my laptop and it's all working fine, plus it was working fine before, I would assume it;s an Apple fault.

OS X Mavericks :: When Searching A File In Computer It Doesn't Show Location Of Folder

Dec 9, 2014

When I search for a file in my computer (command + f) the results appear in a window. If I click on a FILE among the results, the detailed location of that file is shown at the bottom of the window. If I click on a FOLDER, however, no such location information appears. Before Mavericks, locations of folders was also given. Is this a Mavericks bug? Can it be fixed?

MacBook Air :: Can't Get Rid Of Popups

Aug 25, 2014

I have a macbook air that I just bought last year and I think I have malware. I have popups whenever I click on ANYTHING in any browser that I have tried. The most common popup is this mackeeper page. I've tried to follow to uninstall instructions but I can't even find that I have ever installed it in my applications or downloads or anywhere. I have tried to delete almost everything on my laptop and everything I have ever downloaded.

OS X :: Way To Stop Explosion Of Popups?

Dec 10, 2008

Have you ever selected dozens or hundreds of files hoping to get info "collectively" -- namely the cumlulative size -- but Mac OS starts an unstoppable avalanche of pop-ups for each and every one and you panic and eventually give in and let a billion popups tile across your monitor for an hour, like so many coats of digital paint, or just hard power-off your computer.

MacBook Pro :: How To Disable Popups

Dec 6, 2014

I seem to have a bit of an issue on my MacBook Pro with pop-ups. I use Google Chrome and I thought this was a Chrome issue. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it, but when I used Safari to re-install, I had pop-ups come up on Safari, so it isn't a Chrome issue. 

I am unsure if this is a Java plug-in issue or what, but I'm getting pop-ups everywhere and I do work quite a lot on my MacBook. I keep getting pop-ups such as MacKeeper, Purifier, EuroMillionaire, etc. I noticed I had MacKeeper and removed it. I will admit, I was working rapidly on Friday afternoon and I think I may have disabled Java or something. I am not sure how to go to the settings and adjust this.  

How I can erase this. I've had this MacBook since late 2008 and haven't had this issue. I am on OS X 10.9.5 if that matters.

OS X Mavericks :: Connected To Wifi But Not To Internet

Jun 3, 2014

I just got a referbrished macbook pro retina and I'm having issues connecting to the internet. My old macbook pro, as well as every single other device, is able to connect to the internet without issue. My new macbook, however, isn't able to. Everything is typed in correctly as it is connecting to the router. Just no internet. However, there is one strange difference between my old macbook and my new macbook. The old one has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 while the new one has 255.255.0.0. The old one also has router information under the subnet mask, while the new one is blank.

OS X Mavericks :: Internet Accounts Sort

Dec 11, 2014

I read many messages about the (automatic) Internet Account sort that is done every time something is edited in the accounts list.I have followed the advice I found but with different results.But these methods, for me, do not "solve" my problem: when I have all my accounts in the right order, if I have to change something again, the sort is automatically done.

it's possible to disable the sort of the Internet Accounts?If not, could be a good feature in the next OS upgrades.

OS X :: Getting Malware Warning Popups In Safari 4

Apr 23, 2009

I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but for the past week or so, I've been getting weird popups when going to sites like nytimes.com, macrumors.com, cnet.com, google.com, and other perfectly safe sites that say something along the lines of "This site may harm your computer." And then when I click "Ignore" I get another popup that says are you sure, and I can't get out of the popup, and then I have to quit Safari.

I'm wondering if I have some kind of trojan or something like that. I'll get a screenshot next time it happens.
