'MacInstall' Google redirect trojan - how do I uninstall?
Hi,
I think I have a Google redirect trojan called 'macinstall'. I am on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and it happens on every search in safari 7.0.1 and firefox even though I have reset all the basic preference settings (which were changed) and deleted an extension called macinstall. I have tried changing the DNS to an open one (208.67.222.222) as this was suggested in another forum, but this hasn't worked and I have also deleted a proxy redirect which I could see although had no idea if that might help. Has been a problem since I downloaded 'Paintbrush', hence why I think it must be a trojan and given its name it's likely I did let it install. I can't find any mention of this trojan online, which may partly be because it is redirecting my browsers...
For example: when I type 'test' into the google toolbar I get:
'http://search.installmac.com/results.html?c=5&v=insMac&q=test', then:
'search.conduit.com/Results...' which is too quick for me to copy, then:
which gives a rubbish bing search full of nonsense, but not full of illegal/ dodgy sites as far as I can tell which the other redirects seem to do.
I am also pretty sure my whole system is running a lot more slowly. I am currently running the free trial of MacScan to see if it can find anything but it's only picked up tracking cookies so far.
Please help! Idiot-proof instructions please.
