I've just recently started getting a redirect link to the website linkbucks and I have no idea how to stop it from occuring. It is very annoying and occurs on nearly every website I visit. I want to know if there is a way in which I can get rid of it? Please can somebody help me!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
Which browser are you using? And is the block pop up websites setting enabled?
I am using google chrom and safari. The pop up settings on both servers are on the do not allow any pop ups
Go into Safari & Chrome cookie Preference settings and delete the linkbucks cookie.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
Done both of what you guys have said but its still happening. Have performed a virus check and it says there is no virus so im not sure what it is.
I have the same problem, deleted the cookies for both Chrome, and Safari, and no solution so far!
This prooblem has been identified yesterday afternoon, and cused the browser ( Chrome, and Safari ) as I have both of them, and the internet.
In my side, the Internet has been extremly slow when I use Chrome.
Any solutions would be much appreciate it.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
Thank you Linc for your comment.
I tried to delet all websites data on Safari, however it did not work.
Have also tried this and still no solution.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network ▹ Advanced... ▹ DNS
Under DNS Servers you should have one or more numerical addresses, such as “192.168.1.1” or “10.0.0.1”. What are those addresses?
Help I keep getting redirected to the pop up site 'linkbucks' and I dont know how to get rid of it?
