Q: Uninstall Offers4U

Phew. Thanks for Adware Medic! I was ready to throw my Air off the balcony and was dreaming up creative ways to seek revenge on these adware criminals. All that crap is gone now. Thanks again

Hi Superwop68,

I've never posted on a forum before but joined so that I could thank you for this - BitDefender worked perfectly and was very easy to use - thanks again my friend!

Allelujah!

This has had me raging for the last few days since I downloaded something I shouldn't have. Chrome was plagued with Adware, and almost every time I clicked on ANYTHING on a page, another random page would pop up - usually MacKeeper (die!!!!), something similar or some gambling/dating website. Also, every time I went to search for something in the browser it would use some other search engine called Smart Search, which was really ******* me off as I have my default set to Google for a reason!

So anyway, I checked out that Adware Removal Guide, downloaded Adware Medic as instructed and it eradicated all of the above problems in seconds. I even felt compelled to donate a few dollars after that

Thanks 

I think I just found something.

I went to the below link and was able to locate the listed bugs on my system.

Don't know yet if it will help. I will let you know.

I had the same problem and contacted Apple support.  There is a free software that operates on donations that takes care of the problem.  Adwaremedic.com or the Safe Mac offers downloadable software that will clear it off your computer.  It worked for me; then I returned to the website and happily donated.

Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

I had the same issue and used http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php and this worked like a gem.

Hope this helps!

So, I've been dealing with this issue too. I figured out the best way (that worked for me) was to download this tool: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php. I was septic about installing something to remove something, but I was at the end of the roll to find an answer. So give me feedback if AdwareMedic worked for you too.

Just to all those who are struggling with thinks like MacKeeper and Offers4u poping up, the http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php really works. I was scarred ill ruin my computer further by downloading more unknown apps, but it worked like a dream.. it took a minute or so to download, found all the adware, removed it..... and now no more pop ups! thank you to all who recommended this website

Thanks for this - I am so impressed with Bitdefender I've just installed their antivirus program (paid subscription) which now hovers in the background looking for future pesky malware!

Finally got rid of the ads:

1. Safari --> Preferences -> Privacy

2. Click on Remove All Website Data

3. Select From third parties and advertisers

4. Close the window.

5. Quit then restart Safari.

...and here's a BETTER solution:

Man, thanks a lot, thank´s you and you're guide. You solved the problem

I just had this in Firefox, was in fact an extension "SaveFrom.net" that I inadvertently installed... simply removed it and the malware disappeared also installed Malewarebytes to cleanup

Yep.  I tried everything too and then just went through and turned off each extension one-by-one. It was SaveFrom.net that was doing it.
