.QuickHealXGEN.so plugin quits safari?

When browsing on Safari everytime I do not know why it starts to quit and pops up a message box where it states that;

Safari quit unexpectedly while using the .QuickHealXGEN.so plugin.

On this window I only have the options to repoen safari and this will also send a report to Apple.

But it has been like this for like 2 days every so often it quits safari with this message.

You have been infected with a hidden Java exploit used by the OSX/FlashBack malware.


If you want some help, contact the VirusBarrier anti malware researchers at Intego, who discovered the threat.


You can use Terminal commands to send the malware for analysis.


cp -p "~/Library/Application Support/.QuickHealXGEN.so" ~/Desktop/FBMalwareQuickHeal1.sample

cp -p "/Users/Shared/.QuickHealXGEN.so" ~/Desktop/FBMalwareQuickHeal2.sample

cp -p "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist" ~/Desktop/FBMalwareQuickHealPlist.sample


Select the new files on your Desktop and zip them (by using the File menu from the Finder -> Compress) and send the zip file to:

Bad news. It's likely you've been infected by a new variant of the Flashback trojan horse. Read this
