Hello,

I have this same issue. I have found that when I open up Safari this green magnifying glass icon appears. It forces my wireless mouse to disconnect and then I have to force quit the malware application. It appears to also slow or stop my Internet speed and will not load web pages. After removal of the app, it reappears under a different name.

Here's a list of names that have appeared for this particular green magnifying glass app:

ManagerPages

ExtraBrowser

ResourceSource

DefaultProducts

PremiumForward

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?

Thanks.

I have a similar issue. While using Safari, the program will suddenly freeze up then close. I will receive a separate popup stating "Apple wants to make changes" and asks for my password. It requires a "cancel" response three times. Then Safari automatically reopens. Approximately 10% of the time there is a new Safari extension that installed without my approval - noticed only if I open Safari preferences. I typically manually uninstall the program from the Application page and delete the associated folders.

The extension logo is always a green icon with magnifying glass. Names listed below.

• • Platform Air 1.0
  • Platform Air
  • SmarterHD
  • TaskSite
  • OnlyApplication
  • OnlyApplication 1.0
  • SystemJump 1.0
  • ProcessFresh 1.0
  • MultiDetail
  • EngineCache 1.0

I just downloaded Malwarebytes. Its scanner detected both adware and malware that are now quarantined. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thank you guys - specifically Eric Root!

I have the same issue. Its happen about 3 times. I've uninstalled the program, completely removed google chrome (I assumed this was the issue) and it still shows. Hoping to find answers soon.

Update: Listen to Eric and download that application. It found where the bad files were hidden and deleted. Thanks Eric!

You are welcome.

I have the same problem. Every time it reappears it has changed its name

Sorry just seen post above - thanks Eric

You are welcome.

The link states that the user was being careless and downloaded some fake plugin. You are probably experiencing the same virus in a different way

I had the same issue and running malware bytes has seemed to fix it

Good.

Thank you! This fix worked for me!

I am also suffering from exactly same problem, could not solved yet.

Did you try Malwarebytes?
