I found this on Awesome Screenshot as well as AdBlock. Removed both extensions and the all is well now. We should compile a list of offending extensions allowing this creepy "feature". Browsers used FireFox and Safari, both were infected by Superfish.
I had the same problem... Superfish ads popping up whenever I viewed sites in Safari... super annoying. Awesome Screenshot was the culprit. "Un"awesome Screenshot more like.
no extensions installed ...and the superfish one issue shows up on each page i open...
seems to be some sort of auto java script launch, can anyone help locating this trojan javasript?
the following links seem to get launched , i was able to copy them with an extension i now installed called
"java script blocker"
also/and this one pops up , it yet again launches itself as a javascript, and i cant delete this auto launch of this, but i see clearly in this blocker what it does:
https://www.superfish.com/ws/sf_main.jsp?dlsource=jvvwwxx&userId=abc&CTID=DP2040 AAAAAA
just facing the exact same issue nothing visible in the extension or the plugin but still having these stupid ads on all my page!!
I think I found the solution
TLDR; it's DownLite adware -- remove these files from Mac OS X:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Empty the trash and restart the computer (or vice-versa).
I hope it solve your issue for me he did. I didn't found all the file but the one found did the trick!
Thank you. Your suggestions helped me too.
Regards
