computer: Adware removal guide - thesafemac: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/


There is an Adware Removal Tool (a script that runs to locate & remove most

adware types) as a download from the above site, with its own link. Also, note

the rest of TheSafeMac site, in that several 'Tech Guides' of info are in there.


Also you could take a look into some of the more easily seen indicators of adware

or other bits of other bad ware you may have encountered; a good tool that can

generate a report of the basic system, which could be copy/pasted into a forum so

those who have experience or know what the bits of bad software are, can help to

remove them. Processes and methods of removing adware and other items do

take a bit of time and steps. However, you can help discover some of the otherwise

unknown and non-virus issues your Mac likely has installed..


This is a software that generates a report of the system; more thorough methods

requiring the use of OS X unix underpinnings (via Terminal commands) are often

beyond the GUI experience of most novice users of modern computers; so a

software such as Etrecheck is often an easy way to look into some of the many

items that may be appear, in a report, to be afflicting your computer.


{note the 'read more about' link in the download page, and read it}


These items appear to have been helpful to may who have found issue in their

Mac OS X, and the information and methods to deal with these problems is free.

The contributors of both sites above are long-standing members of ASC forum

discussions. A more technical minded and detail oriented effort, of another ASC

contributor by the name of Linc Davis, may see your post and he looks into this

kind of matter in a level that will challenge your ability to learn about your OS X.


Hopefully you can identify the issue, and then apply the correct methods of

removal to gain your computer system & performance back. Then, read up

(not commercials) before buying into third-party additions to your Mac OS X.

The system can take care of itself, for the most part.


Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
